DEF: Foreigner “Urgent”
After scoring eight Top 40 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart in the late 1970s, New York-based band Foreigner hit the Top 40 eight more times in the 1980s, beginning with “Urgent” in 1981. The song spent four weeks at a peak position of number 4, and on this date in 1981, “Urgent” reached that spot on the chart.
Foreigner’s first Top 40 hit of the 1980s is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
