On this day, November 23, 1984, Tears for Fears released their iconic single Shout in the UK. A powerful anthem of protest and self-expression, the song became one of the band’s biggest hits, solidifying their status as leaders of 80s new wave.

Later released in the United States on May 27, 1985, Shout climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, spending three weeks at #1. Its commanding vocals, unforgettable chorus, and striking production made it a defining track of the decade.

How do you think Shout compares to other Tears for Fears hits like “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”?
