On This Day, Sept. 4, 1982 …
Steve Miller Band landed their third #1 single with “Abracadabra,” the title track from their 12th studio album.
The song spent two weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, which was their longest reign at #1.
The band previously topped the chart with “The Joker” in 1973 and “Rock‘n Me” in 1976. Both songs spent only one week at #1.
“Abracadabra” was back on the charts in 2024 after rapper Eminem interpolated the song for his single “Houdini,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
