MARCH 9 |
ON THIS DAY IN 1987, U2 RELEASED THEIR FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘THE JOSHUA TREE’ WHICH TOPPED THE CHARTS IN OVER 20 COUNTRIES AND BECAME U2’S FIRST US NO.1 ALBUM. IT WOULD GO ON TO WIN A GRAMMY FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR AND BEST ROCK PERFORMANCE BY A DUO OR GROUP WITH VOCAL IN 1988.
QUEEN’S ALBUM, “A NIGHT AT THE OPERA”, IS CERTIFIED GOLD TODAY IN 1976. AT THE TIME, IT WAS REPORTED TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE ALBUM EVER PRODUCED AND FEATURED THE ICONIC TRACK “BOHEMIAN RHAOPSODY”.
AND TODAY IN 1991, “SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO” GAVE THE CLASH THEIR ONLY UK NO.1 SINGLE AFTER THE TRACK WAS USED FOR A LEVI’S TV COMMERCIAL. THE TRACK WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1982 FROM THEIR ALBUM ‘COMBAT ROCK’.
