On this day, January 31, 1989, Warrant released their debut album, Dirty Rotten Stinking Rich. The album became an instant success, peaking at #10 on the Billboard 200 charts and solidifying the band’s place in the glam metal scene of the late 80s.

The album featured iconic hits like Heaven (Warrant), Down Boys, and Big Talk, which showcased Warrant’s signature blend of catchy hooks, powerful ballads, and energetic rock anthems. Heaven, in particular, became a massive hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Fun Fact: The album’s quirky cover art features a cartoonish caricature of a rich man with dollar signs for eyes, emphasizing the tongue-in-cheek commentary on wealth and greed.

Trivia Question: What is the name of Warrant’s second album, released in 1990, that included the hit ballad Cherry Pie?
