This week in 80’s history!

Posted on November 18, 2023

Time to peek in the way back machine and see what this week looked like in the 1980’s! It was on this week in:

1981 – Joan Jett Released and the Blackhearts Released, I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll. The album would peak at #2 on the Billboard charts much thanks to mega hits Crimson and Clover and the title track I Love Rock n’ Roll!

1983 – We first heard the story of the little boy who only wanted the official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time as A Christmas Story Premiered in Theaters.

1984 – Building the Perfect Beast, Don Henley’s 2nd solo album was released featuring “The Boys of Summer” and “All She Wants to do is Dance.”

1988 – “Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi Hit #1 on the US Billboard Charts. It would stay there until Dec 2nd of 88.
