1984 - Madonna
Madonna releases her second studio album Like a Virgin, giving Madge her first #1 on the US albums chart.
1997 - Celine Dion
The Greatest Singer in the World (see old SNL reference) releases her album Let's Talk About Love which includes the epic Titanic song "My Heart Will Go On". Oh, you don't remember that song? I know you read that with sarcasm, right? Here's a refresher:
1998 - Madonna
Madge is back by winning Best Female and Best Album for Ray of Light, her seventh album (fun fact extravaganza today), at the Europe Music Video Awards.
2004 - Snoop Dogg
Snoop D, double 'O', G is #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 'Drop It Like It's Hot'. The song features Pharrell. It peaks here at #2 but will stay forever in our hearts.
2010 - Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift sets a record by becoming the first female artist to place 11 songs on the Hot 100 at the same time. That Guinness Record is now Cardi B's. Sorry Tay-Tay.
2016 - Chainsmokers
Everybody's favorite band to dislike, behind Nickleback, hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Closer" featuring the vocal stylings of Halsey. I guess they're not that unlikeable after all.
