Aerosmith has been topping the Billboard
charts since 1976. Because of that, they have a new title next to their names, thanks to their latest record, One More Time, with Yungblood.
The band is only one of five musical acts to have had a top 10 new record on the Billboard 200 chart in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s, and ’20s.
Here are there records that got them the record, according to Billboard, “Aerosmith notched its first top 10 on the Billboard 200 in 1976 (and only top 10 of the ‘70s) with Rocks (peaking at No. 3). The band then scored one top 10 in the ‘80s (1989’s No. 5-peaking Pump), three in the ‘90s (Get a Grip, No. 1; Big Ones, No. 6 and Nine Lives, No. 1), three in the 2000s (Just Push Play, No. 2; O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits, No. 2 and Honkin’ On Bobo, No. 5), one in the ‘10s (Music From Another Dimension!, No. 5) and now one in the ’20s with One More Time.”
They join The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, and James Taylor. How did the latter beat out Cher? We need more music from her!
Congrats to Steven Tyler, the most famous person from my hometown in the last 75 years.
Aerosmith announced today that they will not be able to continue their farewell tour.
Last September, the band was forced to postpone several dates due to Steven Tyler, 76, suffering a vocal cord injury. The band said he would need 30 days to recover, but eleven months later, we are getting a sad update. click here!
If someone were to tell you that Aerosmith’s I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing is about Barbra Streisand, you would think they were lying to you. But they aren’t.
Yesterday, when the actress was on Howard Stern’s radio show to talk about her memoir My Name Is Barbra, he asked her if that was true. And she told him it is. Then she explained how it happened.
The singer was being interviewed by Barbara Walters, and Barbra told Barbara that her husband, James Brolin, said to her after sex that he didn’t want to fall asleep because then he would miss her.
Well, songwriter Diane Warren was listening to that interview, and it inspired her to write that song. So, every time Steven Tyler sings that song, he is singing about Babs. Kind of a boner killer, isn’t it?
Earlier this month, Aerosmith was just two weeks into their final tour, Peace Out, when they had to put a pause on their concerts. That is because Steven Tyler sustained a vocal cord injury, and doctors told him he couldn’t sing for 30 days.
That was 18 days ago. Today, the band gave an update on his condition. The statement reads, “To our fans: Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought. His doctor has confirmed that in addition to the damage to his vocal cords, he fractured his larynx which requires ongoing care.
“He is receiving the best medical treatment available to ensure his recovery is swift, but given the nature of a fracture, he is being told patience is essential.”
Tyler, 75, promises they will be back as soon as they can.
Their people are working on scheduling new dates, and they hope to announce them soon.
Hopefully, Tyler will be able to get his powerful voice back and rock out with his fans in the New Year.
Aerosmith are just nine days into their final tour, but they have to take a month off from the road because of Steven Tyler.
“I’M HEARTBROKEN TO SAY I HAVE RECEIVED STRICT DOCTOR’S ORDERS NOT TO SING FOR THE NEXT THIRTY DAYS,” the singer wrote. “I SUSTAINED VOCAL CORD DAMAGE DURING SATURDAY’S SHOW THAT LED TO SUBSEQUENT BLEEDING. WE’LL NEED TO POSTPONE A FEW DATES SO THAT WE CAN COME BACK AND GIVE YOU THE PERFORMANCE YOU DESERVE.”
The band will play the postponed six September dates in February, and then they will go silent.
Hopefully, the 75-year-old’s vocal cords will be back to normal by their next date on October 11th because he has a voice we cannot lose. It is definitely one of a kind.
