With this year being another Leap Year, I thought it would be enjoyable to look back at 2012 and see what was popular the last time we had a 29th day in February.
Music
At this time 4 years ago we were jamming to:
Dance (A$$) – Big Sean feat. Nicki Minaj
Set Fire To The Rain – Adele
Rack City – Tyga
We Are Young – FUN feat. Janelle Monae
Movies
In February of 2012 we were:
Trying to get over the fact that Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 had debuted in theaters in November, 2011 and there would be no more. Our childhood had officially ended.
The Hunger Games was set to release in one month, March 25th, 2012. Jennifer Lawrence hadn’t even made her footprint in Hollywood yet!
One saving grace was that we were all excited for the premiere of The Avengers franchise which would release in May of 2012.
Super Bowl XLVI
The Patriots lost their 2nd Super Bowl to Eli Manning and the New York Giants. Final Score: NYG: 21 NE:17
TV Shows
The Television world was ruled by blue meth and zombies at this point in time. Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead had just begun to take off and viewers everywhere were obsessed. It is also important to note that the first season of Game of Thrones had premiered and everyone was waiting for Season 2. The “Red Wedding” hadn’t happened yet!
