Question: It was this day in Rock History in 1986, these guys went to No.1 and became the first-ever Austrian act to score a UK and US No.1 hit single and the first German speaking artist to achieve a No.1 on the US charts. Who was it?
Answer: It was Falco with ‘Rock Me Amadeus.’ Falco died of severe injuries received on 6 February 1998, when his car collided with a bus in the Dominican Republic. It was later determined that the bus driver was speeding, for which the driver served three years in prison. His estate claims he has sold 20 million albums and 15 million singles, which makes him the best selling Austrian singer of all time.
