On this day in 1981, the Go-Go’s LP “Beauty and the Beat” debuted on the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart at #186 (August 1)

The Go-Go’s made rock history with this, their debut album, becoming the first all-female band with a chart-topping album of songs written entirely by the band.

It was, in fact, one of the most successful debut albums of all time, driven by its two big Hot 100 hit singles: "Our Lips Are Sealed" ( #20) and "We Got the Beat" ( #2)

After a long and steady climb, “Beauty and the Beat” reached #1 on the US Billboard album chart on 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).

It also went to #2 in Canada, #20 in Sweden, and #27 in Australia.

In 2020, “Beauty and the Beat” was ranked #400 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

"We Got the Beat" was also named one of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
