Music of the 1980s
Question 1:
What was the best-selling album of the 1980s?
Thriller was the best-selling album in the US for two consecutive years. By the end of the decade it had sold 48 million records. It remains the best-selling album of all time, with over 70 million in sales.
Question 2:
The funky bassline of this 1981 Rick James song has been sampled many times, including on MC Hammer's 1990 single "U Can't Touch This", and by Jay-Z in his 2006 song "Kingdom Come".
James was known as a bass player and was pictured holding a bass guitar on both the album and single covers. However, the actual bassline on "Super Freak" was played by Oscar Alston. James and Alston worked together to devise the famous riff.
Question 3:
This song reached number one on the Hot 100 on December 22, 1984, the first Madonna single to do so.
"Like a Virgin" would spend six consecutive weeks at number one. Madonna would eventually garner 12 number-one singles, the most of any solo artist.
Question 4:
She's So Unusual (1983) is the debut album from this pop singer.
The album gave Lauper four top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100—"Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "Time After Time", "She Bop", and "All Through the Night"—and earned her Best New Artist at the 1985 Grammy Awards.
Question 5:
Fill in the blank with a two word phrase to complete the title of this quirky 1986 single from Timbuk 3: "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta ___".
The song was the group's only hit. Songwriter Pat McDonald, later clarified that the upbeat lyrics were ironic, and the bright future was due to a potential nuclear holocaust. Subsequently, the band has refused million-dollar offers to license the song for commercials, including from AT&T, Ford, the U.S. Army, and Ray-Ban.
