SEPTEMBER 28
ON THIS DAY IN 1968, THE BEATLES’ “HEY JUDE” STARTS A NINE-WEEK RUN AT #1 ON THE U.S. SINGLES CHART. THE PAUL MCCARTNEY SONG, WRITTEN ABOUT JOHN LENNON’S SON JULIAN, GAVE THE GROUP THEIR 16TH U.S. NO. 1 AND THE BIGGEST-SELLING SINGLE OF THE YEAR.
DAVID BOWIE GENERATED SO MUCH PUBLICITY WITH HIS ZIGGY STARDUST CONCERTS THAT HE SELLS OUT A SHOW IN CARNEGIE HALL TODAY IN 1972.
AND IN 1974, BORN OUT OF ‘FREE’ AND ‘MOTT THE HOOPLE’, SUPERGROUP ‘BAD COMPANY’ HIT #1 ON THE U.S. ALBUM CHART WITH THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM. THE LP INCLUDES THE TITLE TRACK, “CAN’T GET ENOUGH” AND “MOVIN’ ON”
