Tuesday 2/15/22 9pm ET: Feature LP: Go-Go’s – Beauty and The Beat (1981)

Beauty and the Beat is the debut album from Californian new wave band the Go-Go’s. Released July 8, 1981 on the I.R.S. Records label, the album reached number one on Billboard’s Top LPs & Tape chart in March 1982, bolstered by its two big Hot 100 hit singles: “Our Lips Are Sealed” (no. 20) and perhaps the Go-Go’s’ signature song, “We Got the Beat” (no. 2), initially released in 1980, but in a different version. After a long and steady climb, Beauty and the Beat reached number one in the album chart dated March 6, 1982, the week before “We Got the Beat” entered the Top Ten of the Hot 100. The album stayed at the top for six consecutive weeks, and ranked second in Billboard’s year-end Top 100 of 1982 (behind the self-titled debut album of Asia). The LP sold in excess of two million copies, and was RIAA-certified double platinum, qualifying it as one of the most successful debut albums of all time. Critically acclaimed, it has been described as one of the “cornerstone albums of American new wave”.

The title is a play on the European fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast”.
