From Tara J. – I remember back when I was in grade school, hearing about Slash’s ouster from Guns ‘N Roses – but can’t remember the year and the circumstances. Thanks.
Mr. Pop History – The year was 1995 when Slash and Axel Rose just had it with each other. The remaining members continued (of course) while searching for a new guitarist and Slash began his own band around 1996.
From Rae S – What albums by pop artists took the longest to reach #1?
Mr. Pop History – The New Kids album “Hangin’ Tough” took 55 weeks to reach the national #1 album charts back in 1989. But I’d say the longest was Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled album. It took 58 weeks and hit #1 in September of 1976.
Other long runs to #1 included “Whitney Houston,” and “Appetite” from Guns ‘N Roses, as both took 50 weeks to hit the top spot.
