On this day in 1985, Simple Minds released ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ as a single in the US. The song went on to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band’s biggest international hit and defining a generation through its association with The Breakfast Club. Thirty years later, in 2015, the band performed the song on the Billboard Music Awards stage to mark the anniversary of it topping the US chart, introduced by the film’s star, Molly Ringwald. | Simple Minds
