DEF: Rush “Limelight”

Rush hit the Top 20 in their native country of Canada for the first time with “Limelight,” the first single from their 1981 album Moving Pictures. The song has become one of the band’s signature songs in the United States as well, but in its time, it didn’t reach the Top 40 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. On this date in 1981, “Limelight” climbed to a peak position of number 55. Today, “Limelight” by Rush is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
