In 1982, The Go-Go’s were nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best New Artist” and the group also released their sophomore album, Vacation, that same year, which was certified Gold in the and spawned another top-10 hit with the title track. In 2011, the band was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
