Abstract

The article highlights significant musical events and achievements from December 1982, focusing on various artists and their contributions to the music scene. Notably, Nicki Minaj's debut album, *Pink Friday*, set a record for female rap album sales, while ABBA released their final single for decades, "Under Attack." Toni Basil reached No.1 in the US with her hit "Mickey," and the UK saw Renée & Renato's "Save Your Love" claim the Christmas No.1 spot. Additionally, the article discusses the iconic collaboration between David Bowie and Bing Crosby on "The Little Drummer Boy," which became one of Bowie's best-selling singles after its initial recording for a Christmas special in 1977.
