BIG HITS OF THE 80s | MUSIC QUIZ | Guess the song | Difficulty HARD

Guess the hit song from the 80's! In this music quiz you are presented with 40 hit songs from the 1980's. Can you get them all? Let me know how you did in the comments :)

This is the third quiz in the 80's series and the difficulty is set to hard. That doesn't mean that the songs are unknown, but it might be harder to remember song name and band compared to the easy and mixed difficulty.

Be sure to check out the other 80s music quizzes as well:

And don't forget; If you are a fan of music quizzes and trivia, please consider subscribing to the channel as I'm posting new videos EVERY TUESDAY and FRIDAY.

Note that some of the songs may have been released earlier, but I included them since they made the charts in 1980.

Thanks for watching and best of luck!

C'mon, give us a challenge. These songs were all on heavy top 40 rotation in the 80's. Too easy.

Just to knit-pick, John Mellencamp was going by John Cougar at the time of "Jack and Diane". No Mellencamp involved yet. Otherwise nicely done.

Makes me feel like I'm back in high school again. Oh how I miss the 80s. Like Cher said, "if I could turn back time."

40/40- enjoyable quiz !! Love and miss the music of the 1980s❤

35/40. Not bad for an old headbanger who rarely listened to this kind of music back in the day. There are still some pretty good songs in this group.🤘🎸

[Cline]

I got them all correct. I think this was a fairly easy list for any 1980's music aficionado. On a side note, Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" is not technically a 1980's song as it was released in 1979.

As someone who listened to American Top 40 every week in the 1980s, this wasn't hard at all. 40/40.😄

[jojobuggs]

That was fun to hear some of the songs from when i was growing up . Thank you for that !

[mrhoffame]

38 out of 40. Glenn Medeiros and Barbra Streisand were the two that stumped me. Proud to say I have the other 38 on vinyl :)

[enrabahn]

28/40. Very disappointed in myself. I used to host an 80s show a few years ago so I should have gotten a better score :/

[nicolehall]

As an '80s preteen, this was not difficult by any matter of means. All top 40, thank you Casey kasem! You need to dig down a little to make it difficult.

40/40, what a shock! It was easy for me because I'm a Gen-Xer, who grew up on the radio and MTV. Oh, Baby Boomers love the 80s too. My mom took me to see INXS in concert in '88 during their Kick Tour. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it, let me tell you 😉😉

[nancyomalley]

39/40-I froze up on Glenn Medeiros' song title. Couldn't remember that it started with 'Nothing'

[DIVLJIVUK]

I'm 54 these songs bring back so many memories of my childhood 😊

[imnotgonnasay]

Child of the 80's and I got like, 7 right. I didn't even get Paula Abdul and I idolized her. Sadly, my memory is definitely starting to slip....

[NickolaiVolkov]

24.5/40. I gave myself a half-point for getting either artist or song title. On 2 of the ones I "missed" I knew the song and artist, but didn't have enough time to get to the chorus in my brain and be like, "There we go!" These are SO much fun. Thank you!!!

[marcekessen]

Apparently I was more a rock/ alt chick, the poppy songs threw me, sorta knew em but had no desire to know em, ya know?

[joannedixon-jackson]

38.5/40. Not hard. Mind you, I grew up listening to the UK Top 40 every week, and remember the 80s very well!

[TheTotalMusicLover]

22/40. Because for a handful I only knew either the artist or the title and a couple others I just honestly forgot that I even have the songs. Not bad for a guy born in 91!

I listened to so much variety of music in the 80s, that I could name almost any song, including Classic Rock, Pop, New Wave, Europop, Disco, Chicago House, FREESTYLE, and song country songs. I even knew songs such as Forgotten Season by Lee Yong, Only The Sound Of Her Laughter by Lee Moon Sae, and Julia Ni Heartbreak (aka Oh My Julia) by The Checkers.
