It was on this day, in 1980 that The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" became hip-hop's first Top 40 hit!

Hip hop's roots as a musical phenomenon are subject to debate, but its roots as a commercial phenomenon are much clearer. They trace back directly to January 5, 1980, when the song "Rapper's Delight" became the first hip hop single ever to reach the Billboard top 40.
