february 2: today in music history.
Short of that d-bag Punxsatawny Phil seeing his shadow today and giving us another million years of winter, other things have happened on February 2. Perhaps most notedly, the 2003 monumental event, Russian pop girl duo Tatu starting a four-week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘All The Things She Said’. Nothing like fake lesbians to stir up some news…eh, Katy Perry?
Today the song “The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand topped the charts and stayed there for 3 weeks. (1974)
Today the song “I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner topped the charts and stayed there for 2 weeks. (1985) Who hasn’t rocked to this in the car?
In 2002, Steve Holy picked up his first chart-topping single, hitting #1 in Billboard with “Good Morning Beautiful”.
Back in 1993, Willie Nelson agreed to pay $9 million of the $16.7 million he owes the Internal Revenue Service in a meeting at the IRS office in Austin, Texas. More than $3 million of that figure has already been paid.
