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.

Thanks for playing. I always enjoy listening to the submissions. And the "guess the year" thing, is just kinda fun.

And this song is in my opinion the greatest and most epic intro of all time.

"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a song by English pop rock band Tears for Fears from their second studio album Songs from the Big Chair (1985). It was written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, and Chris Hughes and produced by Hughes. It was released on 22 March 1985 by Phonogram, Mercury, and Vertigo Records as the third single from the album." - Wikipedia.

It would seem the internet cannot agree 🤣🤣

i understand where is my misunderstanding. On Wikipedia in Spanish, 1984 is the year of recording, 1985 is the year of the release ;)

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🫀

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.

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.

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