Def Leppard's classic single Let's Get Rocked hit Number 2 in the UK singles chart 23 years ago on this day in 1992.
It entered at Number 6 before rising to 2 and narrowly missed out on the Number 1 spot by just 146 copies.
The Shakespears Sister song 'Stay' beat it to the top spot in week 7 of its 8 week run at Number 1.
This was the band's biggest hit in the UK at the time only surpassed by 'When Love & Hate Collide' which also reached Number 2 in 1995.
The single was released on 16th March 1992 and spent a total of 7 weeks on the chart.
It was the first of four Top 20 singles from the album in the UK.
Def Leppard Let's Get Rocked - 7" Single Sleeve Quote
"You hold in your hands the first single from our new album, ADRENALIZE. A simple little ditty, Let's Get Rocked just about sums up our feelings about life. Also, check out Only After Dark, a Mick Ronson song we've always liked. Mick's been ill and this track is our acknowledgement to his importance...It sure feels good to be back. Play it LOUD!."
