As 1983 rolled into 1984, Van Halen was at the pinnacle of their success. Their LP 1984, released on january 9 of the year, was a colossal hit, ultimately selling over 17 million copies, and would’ve gone to #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, if it wasn’t for a little album called Thriller.

The cover of 1984 was the image of a baby smoking a cigarette, causing a slew of controversy that led to inventory boycotts at some retail outlets in the UK and the U.S. Can you imagine?

The controversy did nothing to quell the appetite for the record with music fans around the world. What the censors would soon find, is that banning a record only make people want to get it more. If anything a year later when Tipper Gore and the PMRC tried to squelch bands like Van Halen, W.A.S.P twisted sister and Def Leppard, it only increased their popularity.

The fervor for 1984 was immediate, starting with the album’s lead single “Jump” that leaped all the way to the top of the Rock & Pop charts, becoming Van Halen’s only #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Panama”, the 3rd single from 1984, should’ve been their second #1 from the album. Once you heard “Panama", the song’s buzz-saw 'one word' chorus rings in your head forever.
