This Week in 80’s History

Posted on January 6, 2023

It’s time to take a look back at this week in 80’s history! It was on this week in:

1980- Pink Floyd Released “Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2” as a single, and the rest is rock n roll history.

1982 – Fame premiered on NBC. The series would run for 6 season and 136 episodes. Madonna actually auditioned to be a dancer on the show and was passed on by casting directors.

1987 – Beastie Boys released “Brass Monkey”. The single would peak at #48 on the Billboard charts.
