Thank you for putting these 80s songs together. There's been some that I forgot the name of and found the name of them through you. I was only 3, nearly 4 years old, when these songs were released. 80s music is my life 😊. Wish we could go back as life was so much easier back then 😊
Thanks for the video. Once again, the queen Madonna with another #1. I´m suprised Cindy Lauper¨s True Colours never reach evn the top 10....the song is a anthem
excellent year for music keep these charts coming nice to reminisce when the charts were strong not like today better music that will stand test of time
I agree. Very few if anything nowadays will stand the test of time. Music now is very generic in many aspects. Only those artists who stick to their sound never get chart hits, because they don't fit the bill. You'd never see a big bombastic ballad like 'Who Wants To Live Forever' from this chart video make the charts or even a metal group like WASP. Even the pop music had personality like Madonna, Five Star.
Thank you for this upload 👍 1986 a very strong year musically and a number of classics here. 'Walk Like An Egyptian' is an amazing song. A true classic. Even some of these lower ranker entries are very decent. 'True Colours' is absolutely beautiful. One of Cyndi's best. 'One Great Thing' video always reminds me of a Party Political Broadcast (election advert)! Mel & Kim absolutely amazing. EAV - one of the few Austrian acts to break the UK chart ditto with Falco. I have one absolute favourite on here 'Who Wants To Live Forever' by Queen. shame that wasn't a big hit as it's very well known. 24th was way too low. Just always makes me emotional and you feel the song. Freddie's voice absolutely amazing. Of course 'True Blue' by Madonna is a classic. probably my second favourite with a tie between Cyndi Lauper, Bangles and Pet Shop Boys for the bronze. Seriously this is a very strong list, and good helpings of pop, rock, soul-pop and the emergence of hip-hop. Even got a bit of reggae with Lovindeer and UB40. Billy Idol...God one sexy man back then. A very young Will Smith there - I didn't know Fresh Prince was that old? Nick Berry was in EastEnders as Simon Wicks. A guilty pleasure but it's not as bad people make out it is. Amazing how Stacey Q had a huge hit with her song in the US and it's very unknown here and a minor hit. Am I the only one who prefers Kylie Minogue's version of Locomotion'? That Dead or Alive track is underrated. A very good group. Pete Burns will be missed.
Let me add that 3:46 was the first release of that single and the second time did far better ( UK #8). 2:02 and 8:03 should have been definitely higher IMHO. Thanks for your endurance and passion, Francis!
Heroine was the title song from the Patty Hearst inspired film Captive from 86. It flopped but was kind of interesting and The Edge gave it a great score. Starred Oliver Reed.
Iron Maiden managed to be roundly ignored by the press, radio and TV throughout most of the 1980's so it shouldn't have surprised me that they're missing from this list as well despite spending most of the month in the singles chart. Track: Wasted Years Charted: w/e 6th September 1986. Debuted at number 24 and reached number 18 the following week. In the UK chart for 4 weeks.
could somebody explain how this peak 76 for Curiosity killed the cat misfit is worked out, My information tells me that it peaked at Number 7 in the uk charts on 13-09-86, i remember for a fact it was top 10 as i purchased it at the time.
The Fall were one of those bands that had something of a cult following throughout the 80's - despite not actually being that good. Predictably they had limited success, and were massively outshadowed by The Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen. The music critics loved them, but most of the public did not care for them much. Mark E Smith was abit of a 'marmite' figure (even more so than Morrissey) - you either loved him or hated him. I always found him abit of an obnoxious twat with a massive chip on his shoulder.
1986 was an excellent year for music and had to watch this one for one of my absolute faves - “Suburbia” by the Pet Shop Boys. 😍😍😍

Wow, EAV's 'Ba-Ba-Banküberfall' entered the UK charts, I would have never expected that! Thanks for the flashback! 👍
Brilliant tunes! I was 16 in 1986 and I love the music from then ❤

Excellent work as always!
BTW the band at 1:33 is THIS Mortal Coil.
Cheers!

6:45 The Housemartins, la révélation britannique de l'année 1986 👍
Agaian and again and again thanks for including the whole top 100.
1986😘✌❤
Timex Social Club, Amazulu & Midnight Star added to my 1986 playlist. Thanks for introducing me to these songs.
Thanks For Sharing!
September 1986 - what a weird month for pop music.

Misfit was re-issued and got to number 7 in the summer of 1987,following the huge success of Down to Earth near the start of that year.

Track: Wasted Years
Charted: w/e 6th September 1986.
Debuted at number 24 and reached number 18 the following week.
In the UK chart for 4 weeks.
Iron Maiden entries in the week August 31 - September 6 : this song will be on the August 1986 video
@@francispelletier3647 Ah! Much appreciated. Thank you.
Nicely done video. Had me wallowing in nostalgia.
I was hoping to see (Forever) Live & Die by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I’m sure that was a number 11 hit in September 1986?
I was thinking that too.
Entry in the week between august 31 and september 6, so this song will be in August 1986 video
@@francispelletier3647 That would explain it. Thanks!
I’m not arguing with you, you probably know better than me 😁.
Love your channel by the way.

Misfit peaked number 7 in june 1987 as a re released single. It will be in the June 1987 video.
@@francispelletier3647 Thanks, I must of missed it on first release.
Ditto.
