The lead single from their tenth studio album Freeze Frame (with the b-side Rage in the Cage) climbed to the top of the charts of the US Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1982, holding the spot for six weeks, the record also reaching number one at the same time with parallel success in Canadian and Australian markets. 
Though arising a few years late, “Centerfold” for its hook and chorus is counted among the album-oriented radio hits, a play format that embraces the full-repertoire of a group and exploring deep-cuts, originating out of a 1964 US Federal Communications Commission regulation prohibiting simulcasts for stations’ AM and FM broadcast bands and programming pivoting to exploration to balance out regular rotation of the latest most popular songs, giving rise to speciality call-signs and defining the genre of classic rock. Narratively about a man shocked by the discovery that his former high school unrequited love interest has appeared in an adult magazine, the singer’s lustful thoughts continue to the end. The previous hit of the J Geils’s Band, “Love Stinks,” informed the guitar riff in “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and caused their shift from Blues to Pop-Rock.
