At the climax of the event, a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field between games of the twi-night doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. Many had come to see the explosion rather than the games and rushed onto the field after the detonation. The playing field was so damaged by the explosion and by the rioters that the White Sox were required to forfeit the second game to the Tigers.

1987 In British Music
This is a summary of 1987 in music in the United Kingdom, including the official charts from that year. Summary The start of the year saw an important milestone in electronic dance music, when Steve "Silk" Hurley's song "Jack Your Body" became the first house music track to reach number 1 in the UK charts. This was despite Hurley refusing to promote the song, and the 12-inch single technically breaking chart rules as it was longer than the allowed 25-minute play time. House music had been steadily growing in popularity since it started underground in the early 1980s, and another number 1 would follow in September, the huge selling " Pump Up The Volume" by British act M, A, R, R, S which was one of the top ten biggest selling songs of the year.

However, in 1987 two new formats started to appear. The first was the digital CD si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
