I'm 68 and the '80's had some of the BEST tunes. Plus, the older we get the more WE appreciate what WE had in music 🇨🇦

[xtremedeath]

Der Kommisar is such a heavily underrated song of the 80s. I wish it was represented more

I'm almost 60, the 80's were a phenomenal time for our generation of music...and the songs are still outstanding and still aired, much to my delight. Rock on 80's.

[russellburton]

I miss the 80’s! I miss Sunday’s listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 of the week and jamming out to some of the best music ever!! Glad I was a part of it

[Buick]

There are a number of songs on this list that were possibly one hit wonders in the US, but in other counties there were follow up hits. A-ha had several hits in many countries. A great list with memories for all the songs. One you missed was "99 Red Balloons", both German and English versions

[JDPwatching]

In Britain, Madness wasn't a one-hit band, having a string of several great songs that just didn't make much noise this side of the pond. And among them was my favorite Madness song, "It Must Be Love, " and it's SORELY underrated. ❤️

[jasonchristen]

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. Summer of 1987 or 86 we had an end of year baseball pool party at my coaches house and that song was playing over the speakers at his house. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of just how lucky I was to grow up in such an awesome time and how great my Mom was in raising me. Very happy child for sure!

[DesertbikerAZ]

My favorite song of the 80s of all time is Level 42, Something About You.

[tikimax]

Kim Wilde - Kid's in America; The Vapors - Turning Japanese; Falco - Rock Me Amadeus; Peter Schilling - Major Tom; When In Rome - The Promise; Big Country - In A Big Country; Animotion - Obsession

[ckorhonen]

Why does "One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head from Chess never get the respect it deserves? That song is massively awesome! I would have had that in the top 5 personally.

[bubhub]

A-ha is a phenominal band that has put out 11 studio albums, with over 100 million records sold worldwide of some of the best recorded music of the last 40 years. They're far from just a one hit wonder band. They have several number one hits over the decades in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The vocal genius of singer Morten Harket, along with brilliant guitarist Pal Waaktaar Savoy and equally brilliant keyboardist/guitarist Magne Furuholmen have created some of the finest music that will ever touch your soul.

[MarcBourcier]

I honestly believe that you can do a top 100 of one hit wonders of the 80's and the list wouldn't be long enough

[bretstine]

Don’t forget “ I just died in your arms tonight “ by the Cutting Crew. #1 in Spring of 1987.

[wbrandao]

One note about A-Ha. I live in Brazil. Here, they definitely were NOT a one hit wonder. They were a HUGE success! Several tracks on radio. Songs on TV shows. 200.000 people went to see them on 1991 Rock in Rio. They were more famous here than in their native Norway!

[MichaelFeyrerJr]

When in Rome “ the promise “ probably my favorite.

[JoaoSilva-wcgj]

List of A-Ha hit singles in Brazil: Take on me (Big hit in 1985), The sun always shines on TV (1986), Hunting high and low (Big hit in 1986), I've been losing you (1986), Scoundrel days (big hit in 1987), Cry wolf (big hit in 1987), The living daylight (1987), Maybe maybe (1987), Stay on these roads (big hit in 1988), Touchy! (1988), The blood that moves the body (1988), You are the one (big hit in 1989), There's never a forever thing (1989), Crying in the rain (big hit in 1990), Early morning (1991), Move to Memphis (1992), Dark is the night (1993), Summer moved on (2000).

[shoppingamericanarecording]

Maybe it's songs and bands that were one hit wonders over there Rick, but in the UK, Madness, Dexy's, Aha and others had shedloads of other top hits.

[ordinaryperson]

The fact that me and my friends who were born in the 2000s know most of these songs and love them, shows you how amazing and timeless music from the 80s are. I feel like a lot of today’s songs will be forgotten in 5-10 years.

[redporschekilla]

Rick, I’m about to turn 58…. So the 80s was my decade….. I grew up in Germany and when Soft Cell was first played in the radio, MTheSarge youth went bananas! Thank you for walking with us the memory lane.

[stephendevine]

I tried not to laugh when Rick said Madness. One of the biggest bands of the 80's and still going strong
