I didn't look at that until I saw your comment. And looking at it now, I see why I didn't notice it - it looks like a blurry mess. But yeah, even so blurry it is a massive hint. I reckon you can probably turn down the sensitivity on your moronometer though.

We're no strangers to that meme. But you know the rules, and so do I.
This is not loss.

In the Lemmy web UI in a browser, clicking the third button from the left (upvote, downvote, then the page with a turned corner looking thing) will show the source code for a message. Below it's colored green after having pressed it:
The "Alt text" is the part between the straight brackets, before the URL in the parentheses. So "img1", "img2", and "img3" in the screenshot - see how original they are!?:-P

What’s even wilder: it was Rick Astley’s first solo hit. He had done duets and sang on other people’s tracks, but that was his first single from his debut studio album. And it went straight to the fucking moon.
That is wild, had no idea. Was he well known as a non solo singer at the time with lot of anticipation of his first solo?

The original did. He did a remix that came out in the early 2000s.

Well if you look at his musical career, it's relatively short prior to 1987. So not really.
He started singing in a church choir when he was 10. He played drums in some local bands and left school at 16. He started playing drums for bands that played clubs. In 1985, he became lead singer for the soul band FBI and was noticed by a record producer. His first real songs were singig on 'Let It Be' by a charity group Ferry Aid, after the Zeebrugge ferry disaster. That was march 1987. Followed that up by a duet with Lisa Fabien in may. And in august 1987 Never Gonna Give You Up was released, which he'd actually recorded on january 1 st that year.
It's certainly... not common for someone to go from 'shy guy playing drums in a nightclub band' to having a chart topping hit in 25 countries in less than five years. He managed to actually have a pretty good career after that, though none of his work will ever reach the lofty heights of Never Gonna Give You Up in terms of sheer popularity. And the fact that the song managed to be a hit, disappear, and come back ten times as strong because of a joke is like a fluke on top of a fluke.

Rick finds a magic lamp with a genie in it in 2007 and is asked what he wants for his 1 wish.
He says to be famous again.
