In recent years we start to see people pointing out that the usage of the apostrophe is only to denote possession. This is wrong.

The apostrophe can be used to indicate the plural for nouns that aren't considered proper words in english. In that way, CD's and The 80's are correct usage of the apostrophe (no possession is indicated here).

Below correct usages:

Great disco
