THIS DAY IN ROCK HISTORY
On this day in music, May 8, 1970, The Beatles released their 12th and final album, Let It Be, nearly a month after their disbandment. Recorded before Abbey Road and initially titled Get Back, Paul McCartney devised the record in an attempt to restore the band’s chemistry after friction within the quartet. Lead single “Get Back” was issued in April 1969, while “Let It Be” and “I Me Mine” were recorded in January 1970 without John Lennon. Despite the controversy surrounding the album, it went on to be a best-seller, topping charts around the globe.
In 1982, Vangelis’ “Chariots of Fire – Titles,” the theme to the film Chariots of Fire, topped the US singles chart. The now-classic instrumental track marked the Greek composer’s first and only No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1993, Aerosmith’s 11th studio album, Get A Grip, topped the Billboard 200, marking the long-running band’s first to hit the No.1 position. Selling over 20 million copies worldwide, it re-introduced Aerosmith to a new generation of fans, thanks to hits like “Cryin’” and the Grammy-winning “Livin’ on the Edge” and “Crazy.”
In 2016, a recently-departed Prince held the top two spots on the Billboard albums chart with The Very Best of Prince and Purple Rain. Born Prince Rogers Nelson, the legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist died on April 21, 2016, at the age of 57. Today, he is recognized as one of the biggest recording artists of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide.
