Records Still in Doldrums Amid 1982 Music Trends
The 1982 record business stayed bleak though four singles achieved platinum status. Olivia Newton-John Physical, Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys, I Love Rock N Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor topped lists. Major deals and tours by The Who, Rolling Stones Europe trek, Doobie Brothers farewell, Yves Montand tours, MTV launch, and Cher Broadway debut marked standout events in a generally down year.
