On this day: January 21
Louis XVI is guillotined, the first nuclear-powered submarine launches, the nation catches "Saturday Night Fever," and President Reagan's second inauguration heads indoors, all on this day.
1978: The Bee Gees' "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack album begins a run of 24 straight weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. The soundtrack would eventually sell more than 15 million copies to become the best-selling soundtrack album of all time (it was later surpassed by Whitney Houston's soundtrack to "The Bodyguard.")
