This week in 80’s history!

Posted on April 29, 2023

Let’s see what this week in the 80’s looked like!

It was on this week in:

1980 – The NFL Draft Was Televised For the First Time. Far cry from the spectacle it has become today as I’m sure a lot of you have enjoyed this week.

1982 – “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts was enjoying a nice run as your #1 song in America, holding onto that spot from March 20th to May 7th.

1983 – Nolan Ryan Passed Walter Johnson to Become Major League Baseball’s All-Time Strikeout Leader…a record that still stands to this day!

1985 – Mr. Bad Guy Freddie Mercury (1st and Only Solo Album) was released to lesser fan fair to say the least.
