On this day September 3, 1983, Eurythmics’ iconic hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” soared to the top of the US Billboard charts, claiming the #1 spot from September 3 to 9. This synth-pop anthem not only dominated the American charts but also reached #1 in Canada and France, solidifying its place as a global sensation.

Fun Fact! Eurythmics was formed in London in 1980 after singer Annie Lennox and record producer Dave Stewart parted ways with their previous band, The Tourists. This dynamic duo went on to create some of the most memorable music of the 80s, with “Sweet Dreams” becoming their signature track.
