2nd Most Popular Song Each Month in the 80s

Updated thoughts about the videos of this channel are in the pinned comment, posted on April 30, 2024.

Old description:

We could name many songs the second most popular in a month, especially when looking at different countries together, but I felt like nobody would make this video in a long time, so I did it.

Mostly based on Wikipedia charts.

I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life.

Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if there was ever a time in the beginning where there was nothing, wouldn’t there still be nothing? Then it’s wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed, causing the existence of everything else.

Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill:

THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com

I was 62 in 1989 and I still love hearing all these songs. I'll be 97 in August.

Happy New Year to all

[GregVD]

Proud to born in 70s and live that 80s!!! Great memories, great music!!!

[patriot]

The golden years of music! Unlike the rubbish being produced today!

[azzurasquadra]

Music from the 80's is like a free time machine for me....with all that is happening right now, listening to all these 80's songs, its like a mix of happiness and sadness. The 80's where like the top of the Everest. World is going downhill since then, Glad to see im not the only one who misses the 80's that much...

God bless you all

[MrNSFC]

I am 54yo this year. A rocker in my blood and throughout the 80s it was Iron Maiden, DIO, Scorpions, Def Leppard, RATT, Loudness etc etc. But these top 40 hits in the 80s are in my blood too! Awesome tracks.

[WonderWhatHappened]

Some of these #2 are more iconic than many of the #1 songs of the 80's. Thanks for the video.

[elmerogallo]

Durán Durán, Phil Collins, Madonna, Laura Branigan, Wham, Air Supply, Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, etc.

[euandrecampos]

Dang! this hit me hard. Every song and every year is a fragment of my life.

[jamesr]

Thank you for this. I went mentally month to month, where I was, what I was doing, who I was hanging out with. It was a great 20 minutes of memories.

[ajjohnston]

In 81, I was 17, probably the best year of my life ! The music went to my soul and is still there !!

[danielm]

I was there for it all. I was born in 1973. These songs are a time capsule to the whole decade, from first grade through eleventh grade. A lot of these songs trigger many specific memories. It’s 2022 now, and all those memories come back in a flash listening to this playlist. Amazing how that works.

[nikgeo]

It is funny how between 1980-1982 you still feel the 70s influence, whereas in 1983 the 80s spirit kicks in...

[emiliodagdug]

I was born in 1959 this music makes me feel brand new i am so happy love you all

[PaulJones-uiqb]

Absolutely fantastic. Born 1967 - 80's/90's were my clubbing days. Thanks for making this compilation. great memories :)

[bobcrane]

18:14 That was a good one, I like how the 80's had a lot of comebacks from Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Everly Brothers etc.

[brendancredence]

I'm such a suckered for 80s music. I can regonize most of it, I never get tired of hearing it and 80s music has been referenced and sampled times without number. It's really a great decade for music and there are some songs here that will still be played 20 years from now

[shadowboxer]

😭😭😭😭😭… August 85 until early 1993 i was in the USA attending my college years there.. listening to all these songs on the radio ..watched MTV.. went to concerts.. travelling during summertime.. … bring back the happiest time of my life indeed..

[algypsy]

All those songs are absolute legends !!! N° 1 or n°2 doesn't matter anymore 30 or 40 years later they are all just the best !!!
