This week on Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK, we rewind to April 24, 1987; a chart where passion pulsed under polish, and pop dared to get personal. From Madonna’s sun-drenched dreamscape to U2’s aching intensity, this countdown is a collision of slow burns and big swings. Bon Jovi rides the storm, The Smiths sharpen their wit, Terence Trent D’Arby makes his debut, and Glenn & Chris do… whatever that was.

It’s a lineup of ballads, anthems, curiosities, and absolute bangers that defined the week when ’87 got emotional.

And don’t miss the big news; Gen X 90s Top 20 Countdown launches this week! New decade, new chart, same nostalgic obsession.

It’s late April 1987, and the charts are pulsing with neon dreams, brooding vocals, and pop hooks you could hang your acid-wash jeans on. From the pounding urgency of arena legends to sultry tropical fantasies and smooth, shoulder-padded R&B, this countdown is pure late-’80s perfection. You’ll hear iconic duets, unexpected comebacks, and the kind of saxophone solos that practically fog up the tape deck. Whether you were cruising in your Camaro or dancing under the mirrorball, these are the songs that filled your world. Pull on your Reeboks and let’s rewind.

Madonna, Marillion, Midge Ure, and Mick Jagger? The UK charts of September 27, 1985, were overflowing with bold pairings, power ballads, and synth-powered bangers. This week’s Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK takes you from the pulsing defiance of “Trapped” to the neon melancholy of “Drive,” with side-trips through Italo disco, orchestral soul, and pop theatre. It’s Bowie and Jagger colliding, Bonnie Tyler howling for a hero, and a second helping of Madonna just because the world demanded it. The eyeliner was thick, the grooves were bold, and the hooks came with keytars. This was autumn ’85, and we were all in.

This week on Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we’re rewinding to September 19, 1981, a chart full of big emotions, slick production, and the transitional sound of a decade stretching its legs. Diana Ross and Lionel Richie rule the top with a duet that still echoes through time, while Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty bring rock chemistry to a slow burn. Juice Newton, Foreigner, and Journey add heartbreak and horsepower, while the Stones swagger back in like they never left. From Bond themes to beach medleys, new wave breakup anthems to soft rock confessionals, this countdown is a mixtape made for late-night drives and wistful stares out school bus windows.

It’s heartfelt, high-energy, and unmistakably 1981. Press play and let the saxophones do the talking.

This week, we’re flashing back to the final stretch of summer 1983, when Billie Jean still owned the dance floor, Little Red Corvettes were running red lights in our imaginations, and every mixtape had at least one British accent and a synth line that sounded like the future. From Dexys’ suspenders to Thomas Dolby’s mad-scientist charm, this countdown is pure Gen X magic: theatrical, emotional, and ready to make you feel things under a ceiling fan. April may be winding down, but these tracks are still on fire.
