Top singles from the past
28 August 2025
Iconic hard rockers AEROSMITH released WALK THIS WAY,
one of their biggest hits (more than 600 million streams on Spotify),
on 28 August 1975, today 50 years ago. It peaked at #4 in the US
and #8 in the UK.
It was the 2nd single from their Toys In The Attic album.
It helped Aerosmith to break into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also revitalized their career in the 1980s when it was covered by hip hop trio Run DMC (in collaboration with Aerosmith) in 1986. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock.
