The Go-Go's went on to become one of the most successful American bands of the 1980s, helping popularize new wave music into popular American radio with hits such as "We Got the Beat", "Our Lips Are Sealed", "Vacation" and "Head over Heels", and became the first all-female band who wrote their own music and played their own instruments to ever achieve a No. 1 album, Beauty and the Beat.
