This week we invite Bill Algee from The Ages Of Rock Podcast to go track by track through “Sports” the 3rd Studio Album release by Huey Lewis & The News.
A Little About “Sports”
Sports is the third album by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, released on September 15, 1983, by Chrysalis Records. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on June 30, 1984, and ultimately charted for 160 weeks. Sports was ranked No. 2 on the Billboard year-end album chart for 1984 and spawned four top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100, with “Heart and Soul” and “The Heart of Rock & Roll” earning Grammy Award nominations. Sports did very well internationally, where most of its singles charted in the top 40 in multiple countries. The album has been certified 7× Platinum by the RIAA.
Each month in 2023 we will cover a studio album release celebrating its 40th anniversary.
We will go outside the hard rock and metal box at times during this series and visit albums we just think are great. As always we will invite a special guest to tag along and break up the disagreements that Sonny and I will no doubt have. We will also get you the listener involved and have you pick 2 albums from our list for our review to round out the year.
