DEF: The Pretenders “Middle Of The Road”
In January 1984, British/American band The Pretenders released their Learning To Crawl album, which featured their Top 5 single “Back On The Chain Gang” from a year earlier as well as three more songs that would appear on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. On this date in 1984, the first of those three songs — “Middle Of The Road” — climbed to a peak position of number 19, where it would spend two weeks. Today, “Middle Of The Road” by The Pretenders is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
