MUSIC TRIVIA:


In 1961, the Shirelles became the first girl
group to score a #1 single with "Will You
Love Me Tomorrow" (which topped Billboard's
Hot 100 Singles chart during the week of
Jan. 30, 1961).


During the week of April 4, 1964, the Beatles held
the top 5 positions on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles
chart with: 1. "Can't Buy Me Love", 2. "Twist And Shout",
3. "She Loves You", 4. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and
5. "Please Please Me".



"Thriller" was the first album to produce 7
top 10 singles: "The Girl Is Mine" (#2),
"Billie Jean" (#1), "Beat It" (#1), "Wanna Be
Startin' Somethin'" (#5), "Human Nature" (#7),
"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" (#10) and
"Thriller" (#4).


In early 1987, Aretha Franklin became
the first female artist to be inducted into
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
