509 sats \ 43 comments \ @Public_N_M_E 8h Music

Hello Stackers!

It's Thursday so that means it's Throwback Thursday Time!

Throwback Thursday is changing, (or rather, I'm trialing something out).

I'm going to give you a bunch of clues and I want you to guess the year and comment a song from that year. Highest ranked correct answer (by zaprank) gets the bounty. Entries close prior to "Feel Good Friday" Post.

🚨A guess without a correct song doesn't win, both your guess and the song must be from the correct year.🚨

Here we go!

Pete Rose becomes baseball's all-time hits leader.
Microsoft released the Windows operating system, a sequel to its popular MS-DOS.
U.S. Route 66 was officially decommissioned on June 27.
Live Aid.
On May 16, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey announced the discovery of the ozone hole.
A team of oceanographers led by Robert Ballard discovered the wreckage of the RMS Titanic at a depth of about 13,000 feet.

And this song was released March 22nd.

Tears for fears - everybody wants to rule the world.

We Are the World" is a charity single recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World.

The song, “We Are the World,” released on March 7 that year, was an immediate media sensation. It sold an astonishing 800,000 copies in three days and ultimately raised more than $60 million for African famine relief and inspired other musician-driven charitable efforts.

It is an extremely beautiful song that can never be forgotten.I hope you can enjoy it🫀

Released 10-4-1985, Sade stands the test of time, classic and quality, in a field of kitschy 80s music, Sade is gold.

Ooo it was off the album in 1984 but was released as it's own single in 1985. I'll accept it as correct.

Madonna is such an icon.

It was first recorded and released in 1985 with "To Mega Therion" album. In "Morbid Tales", which was originally released in 1984, it was added as a bonus only for 1999 re-release.

Believe is a song by American recording artist Cher, from her self-titled second studio album, released in 1998. It was released as the lead single on October 19 of the same year.

It is a dance-pop and electropop song that represents a radical change in Cher's musical direction compared to her previous works.

Commercially it was a global success, reaching number one in more than 23 countries. With more than 11 million copies sold, it became the singer's most successful single and one of the best-selling in music history.

It was the most sold composition in the United Kingdom in 1998 and remains the best-selling single by a female solo artist.

Thank you. It really is a very good song and the video is very well done for its time. I love classical music and this song brings back very nice memories.

Absolutely, Freddie delivered a masterclass in crowd work there with just a vocal warm up. Truly historic.
