On this day in 1978, the Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman single “Stumblin’ In” debuted on the Australian charts at #58 (December 18)
One of a long line of hits written by the gun songwriting team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, the song was originally released as a standalone single, but was later added to some editions of the Quatro album “If You Knew Suzi...”
It eventually peaked at #2 in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100, #11 in Canada, and #13 in Ireland.
It was Quatro's only US Top 40 hit and Norman's lone US charting effort apart from his time with the band Smokie (where they charted three times while Norman was still a member).

In 1959, Volkswagen offered Beetle owners a truly unique accessory: a coffee machine built into the car.
Made by Hertella, the device allowed drivers to brew coffee, tea - and even chicken broth while on the road, using the cigarette lighter as its power source.
To prevent spills, the system included magnet-mounted cups designed to stay in place during driving.
Today, it's remembered as one of the rarest and most curious accessories ever offered by Volkswagen — an early and surprisingly inventive blend of practicality and in-car technology, long before such ideas became mainstream.

On this day in 1988, The La’s single “There She Goes” re-entered the UK Singles Chart at #87 (December 17)
The first version of the song, produced by Bob Andrews, was released by the La's in 1988, and again on 2 January 1989.
The 1989 release peaked at #59 on the UK Singles Chart.
Andrews' production of the song was remixed by Steve Lillywhite in 1990 for inclusion on their debut album “The La's”.
This remixed version was issued as a single on 22 October 1990 and reached #8 in the Netherlands, #13 on the UK Singles Chart, #40 in Belgium, and #49 in the US.
In May 2007, NME magazine placed "There She Goes" at #45 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever, and #13 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 40 greatest one-hit wonders.
It was listed at #22 on NME's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Eric Clapton was also apparently a fan of the song, and in December 2021, Oasis's Noel Gallagher said it was his favourite song from the 1990s.
In 1999, Sixpence None the Richer had a hit with their cover version.
