After Van Halen was forced to make an album with half cover songs in 1982, Eddie Van Halen wanted control of their musical future so he built a studio in his back yard. 5150. Van Halen's single Jump was a massive hit that expanded their audience even wider than it already was. With MTV giving them airplay, and a huge successful tour Van Halen had made it to the top.
