The Best (and Weirdest) Celebrity Albums of the 80s
2/04/2026 | 38 mins.
In the 1980s, the world of entertainment seemed smaller; it was all about movies, network TV, and music. Today, pop culture is much more fragmented, and there are a ton of ways for brands and celebrities to get more exposure.
That really wasn't an option in the 80s, and for those who may have conquered the big and small screens, the next way to get more fame was in the world of music--and that gave us some truly unique celebrity albums.
From professional sports teams to professional wrestling, sitcom stars and action heroes, it seemed like everyone was trying to enter the Billboard charts. Today, we look back on some of those unique offerings, but also some genuinely talented celebrities who put out quality music.

The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster
1/28/2026 | 45 mins.
How had things got so boring...? This was the question NASA was trying to answer after interest in the space program had dwindled.
But they did find a solution: the 25th Space Shuttle launch would feature the first civilian in space, a teacher, set to board the Space Shuttle Challenger.
On January 28th, 1986, millions of people watched in shock as the Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after lift off. Today, we look back at the events leading up to the accident, the warnings that were there, and the impact this event had on a generation of kids.

And, at the same time, he changed film forever by reinventing some film genres, taking them to levels never seen before.

The Sega Master System in the Age of Nintendo

The NES had gotten there first and had taken a stranglehold on the market, but another Japanese company was about to enter our homes. It began as the Mark 3, but in 1986, after some design changes and a new name, the Sega Master System was ready to hit North America.
