January 16, 2005 – Green Day And Their Killers
On January, 26 of 2005 Green Day and The Killers would make music history. Two of the most iconic albums in the history of alternative rock were at the top of every chat. They would own the primate as the most sold albums. The Killer’s debut album Hot Fuss, including singles “Somebody Told Me” and “Mr. Brightside,” reached the top of multiple charts. This would also include the UK chart. However, taking the No.1 position means that someone has to leave it. In this case, it was another – now – classic of rock music, Green Day’s American Idiot. A clash of the titans for the supremacy that saw the newbies hold their ground for three weeks, deposing the great Green Days.
January 17, 1987- Kate Bush Goes Down In Music History
Next, in 1987, Kate Bush made music history beginning a two-week run atop the UK album chart with The Whole Story. Showcasing such hits as “Running Up That Hill” and “Wuthering Heights,” the compilation became the British artist’s best-selling album.
January 18, 1989- Stevie Wonder
Then, in 1989, 38-year-old Stevie Wonder became the youngest living person in music history to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
