Events
- June 22 — The movie Rhinestone, starring Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone, is released to universally negative reviews. The much-hyped movie - about a singer's effort to transform a New York City taxicab driver into a country star within two weeks - flops, but still produces several hit singles, most notably the No. 1 hit "Tennessee Homesick Blues."
- July 28 — With his No. 1 hit "Angel in Disguise," Earl Thomas Conley becomes the first artist in any genre to have four Billboard magazine chart-topping songs from the same album. The album in question is Don't Make it Easy For Me, and in addition to "Angel in Disguise" and the title track, Conley also hit with 1983's "Your Love's on the Line" and "Holding Her and Loving You." The feat is part of Conley's impressive 1980s streak, where he enjoyed 16 No. 1 hits through 1989.
- September 11 — Barbara Mandrell is seriously injured in a car accident. She suffers multiple injuries and takes an 18-month sabbatical from performing to recover.
