    The best decade for music ever, stuff I listen to every day on my playlist. When music was music and lyrics actually meant something. Somehow it seemed like a simpler time and I wish I could go back there and relive it all.

      Something curious is that you think of a number 2 as "only" can you imagine having the second most listened to song in an entire country? a number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, all of those are hits

    • @rjjcms1

      Charity singles were seen as a bit of a joke and never hits at all until Band Aid came along,and then the age of the hit single for charity was born!

      Julie McNamee I started high school in 1980 and graduated from university in 1989. These songs, minus the few that didn't make it to the US, bring back so many memories of a decade where I went from a kid to an adult. It's funny how hearing a song can make you remember something or feel something from the past.

Wham should have been called "George Michael and the other guy". Madonna was better in the early years. Miss the great Ms. Houston. The Pet Shop Boys really made some great music. SAW was beginning their domination of the charts. Loved Mel and Kim. Yes Part 2 was great!!

    I'm stunned by the Michael Jackson songs that ended up being big hits in the UK. Like, I figured everyone and their mothers bought the singles for "Won't Stop 'Til You Get Enough", "Rock With You", "Thriller", "Beat It", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", and "Dirty Diana" (which made my life hell as a little girl named Diana in grade school). Also, I'm terribly sorry y'all had to endure "We Are the World"; y'all released this utter fucking masterpiece in "Do They Know it's Christmas?" and that should've been THE ONLY charity single for African famine relief. Also, GO GET THAT BREAD MY DURAN DURAN BOYS! ANOTHER #1 AND THIS ONE ALSO MADE IT TO THE TOP OVER HERE! Edit: Ok, I found a video highlighting the #1s here in the US in 1985, and I'm sorry, but the US list OWNS the UK #1 list from the same year. I mean, all those Wham! hits and y'all miss out on their most passionate song, "Everything She Wants"? And no Tears for Fears? Scotland's Simple Minds don't even get a look in on the UK charts? Y'all don't even know what you missed out on with Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings". Oh, and A VIEW TO A FUCKING KILL HIT #1 HERE YO.

    • @rjjcms1
      @rjjcms1 3 месяца назад

      I thought We Are the World was a sappy song,too. Everything She Wants was a double A side single with Last Christmas that would have been an enormous number 1 here - had it not been released the very same week as Band Aid! Tears For Fears made number 4 with Shout and number 2 with Everybody Wants to Rule the World,not to mention other Top 5 hits with Mad World,Change,Pale Shelter and later Sowing the Seeds of Love. Simple Minds were regular visitors to the hit parade too,though only getting to number 7 with both Don't You Forget About Me and Alive and Kicking does rather do trhem down a bit. Broken Wings by Mr Mister made number 4 here in the earliest weeks of 1986,and Kyrie was a hit here too straight after that.

      Yeah, some flashback hits I can't understand, but that one I absolutely can. (Stand by Me, the film adaptation of the Stephen King novel, being so popular at the time.) Speaking of flashbacks, I am overjoyed to see Los Lobos's cover of "La Bamba" hit #1 in the UK! That song meant so much to me as a Chicana in the U.S. because it was my first experience with seeing a massive hit song sung in the language of mi gente, and it happened to be a cover of one of the most popular traditional songs from my family's home country of Mexico (that was first made popular by fellow Chicano Richie Valens)!

    • @rjjcms1
      @rjjcms1 8 лет назад +2

      +billy porter It's because those dates are all "week ending" dates,i.e chart for the week ending 15/8/87. The date the chart was actually first aired was 11/8/87,the previous Tuesday. Up until September 1987 the new chart was revealed by Radio 1 at lunchtime on a Tuesday (Wednesday if immediately after a Bank Holiday),with repeat rundowns on Radio 1 at 6 o'clock that evening and the breakfast show the next morning,plus also on Top of the Pops on Thursday evening. The Sunday rundown was the chart first revealed the previous Tuesday,so in the case when the Michael Jackson song first got to number 1,on 16/8/87. From late September 1987 advances in technology meant that the new chart could be revealed two days earlier,i.e, in the Sunday rundown,but the official dates always shown continued to be the "week ending" date,i.e. 6 days later. If all that makes any sense!

    I thought View To A Kill by Duran Duran was a number 1.

      In the US, absolutely. In the US their big #1s were "The Reflex" and AVTAK; in the UK it was "The Reflex" and ITSISK? ("Is There Something I Should Know?"), which was a lesser hit in America. I'm not sure if there were any Bond theme songs that hit #1 in the UK, but so far AVTAK is the only Bond theme to hit #1 in the US.

      View to a Kill got to number 2 in the UK,in May 1985. I think it was 19 by Paul Hardcastle that kept it off the top.

    After 1984 sounds turned really corny.

      In my opinion It changed towards the end of 86. Stock Aitken & Waterman began to appear, and dominated through 87 along with all the other heavily produced stuff then followed by Acid House in 88 and other dance music in 89 - and that was that, next thing you know it was 1990! First half of the 80s was definitely musically better than the second.

      @@Kagy777 The Pet Shop Boys were very innovative in the late 80's, they recaptured the early synth of the early 80's like New Order's Blue Monday. The Yuppy pop was pretty naff, although its not as bad as the shite auto tuned bands and artists today, even the SAW stuff is better than the X factor garbage. There is no diversity anymore, its all looks and no talent. Where as in the 80's there was both image diversity and music diversity, as someone pointed out on the previous video, the US charts didn't have that.

      I'd say they were about the same. Late '80s was a bit hit and miss but so were the mid '70s.

      They were pilloried for the amount of cover versions they put out starting with their version of Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine,but they were about much more than that. All their hits before that were their own compositions,with often political protest lyrics covering a range of subjects: King,Food For Thought,The Earth Dies Screaming,Don't Let it Pass You By,One in Ten and Burden of Shame to name but a few from 1980-82. If it Happens Again,I'm Not Scared,Don't Break My Heart,Sing Our Own Song and Rat in the Kitchen were later examples from 1984-87.

    "I've got an idea: let's name this band Aswad."

      Aswad were around making records right through the 80s without getting any hits until suddenly striking it big with that song. They had one or two other major hits subsequently,such as Shine in the summer of 1994.
