On March 15, 1986, the band's legendary song "Manic Monday," broke the Top 20 on Billboard's Hot 100, with the pop-rock anthem coming in at No. 19. It would peak at No. 2 just weeks later on April 19.
"Manic Monday," one of The Bangles' breakthrough hits, was the lead single the group's 1986 album Different Light, which also featured more of the band's biggest songs, like "Walk Like an Egyptian" and "Walking Down Your Street."
Released in January 1986, "Manic Monday" was written by Prince under the pseudonym "Christopher." He initially wrote the song for Apollonia 6, the trio Prince founded in 1983, but he later decided to give it to The Bangles after becoming a fan of their early track "Hero Takes a Fall."

"I wish I had had a chance in the decades after to tell him that, to just say 'thank you for the song,'" Hoffs added. "It's still fun to sing, every time."
