DEF: Men Without Hats “Pop Goes The World”
Montreal-based band Men Without Hats tends to make a lot of short lists of 1980s classics with their Top 5 hit from 1983 “The Safety Dance,” but they also reached the Top 20 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart four and a half years later with “Pop Goes The World.” On this date in 1988, “Pop Goes The World” reached its peak position of number 20, where it spent one week.
Today, “Pop Goes The World” is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
