History Highlight:

Today in 1982, The Go-Go's started a six-week run at No. 1 on the U.S. album chart with Beauty And The Beat, containing the hits "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "We Got The Beat." The album sold in excess of three million copies and reached triple-platinum status, making it one of the most successful debut albums of all time. It is now widely considered one of the cornerstone albums of 1980s new wave music. It was the first, and so far the only, album entirely written and performed by an all-female band to top the charts.
