Interesting how half of these are iconic classics and the other half are songs that absolutely no one remembers. Probably happens with almost every year in music.

WOW! A wonderful recap of the German Singles Charts of 1982! Fantastic songs of my late childhood! Some already foreshadowed the onset of the Italo Disco trend, which fully manifested itself a year later in 1983. I look forward to more German Singles Charts 1983 and 84. Thank you for posting on YouTube !!!

Great job Francis, it's very interesting to see which songs were on the German charts 40 years ago. From today's point of view it's quite astonishing that 2 of the most iconic songs of the 80s, Africa & Eye of the Tiger, failed to reach the German top 10!

Wie immer: tolle Musik und traumhafte Erinnerungen. Ich denke schon wieder an meine Sabine - meine erste große Liebe! 😊😊😊

Thanks, 1982 is one of my favourite years for music.

Great trip down the memory lane. Amazing work.

I was 13 back in 1982. Being very interested in hit charts and growing up in Denmark was a bad mix at that time. Lucky for me I lived in a part of Denmark where we had access to German television and radio. “Der Internationalen Hitparade” on NDR2 every Saturday night hosted by Wolf-Dieter Stubel was a life-saver for me.

So funny to watch the big transition from German schlagers into Die Neue Deutsche Welle in this period and your video tells this story pretty well. On telly you could watch Nana Mouskouri, Depeche Mode and Huberth Kah in the same show within 12 minutes. Loved most of it.

Thanks for the great work, Francis.

Großartige Alice und der beste 80er SOng, Maid of Orleans.

Thanks for making Queen on this list, Las Palabras De Amor, vBack Chat & Body Language.

Thank you with another brilliant video. It's interesting notice this and previous years (haven't seen all) you get about two to three covers of a song. I'm not surprised 'Ein bißschen frieden' spent a while at the top as it's a lovely song and their first ever Eurovision win. Glad they appreciated the beauty of Culture Club and you can see the influence of NDW in the German Charts.

Great list Francis so many beauties rareness supreme talents u name it diverse go Germany and from the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s

The Stranglers' "Golden Brown" only went to #63?! And Men at Work "Who can it be now" #71? Conversely, I wouldn't have expected Rachel Sweet to make the charts, or Fehlfarben for that matter. Kim Wilde's angsty "View from a bridge" went rather surprisingly high, and good to know that Alice's "Messaggio" and Helen Schneider's "Hot Summer Nites" got some love. The latter could have been a hit internationally, I reckon. (Ironically, neither singer was particularly happy making rock music.) I hadn't heard the Claudia Mori track before, that's a nice one.

Overall, '82 seems like a fairly mixed bag compared to some of the next few years.

This is excellent again, Francis!!! More like this - fantastic work!!

[ilonabeck]

Ja man kennt es halt weil man damit aufgewachsen ist und es sehr traurig und schade das so viele davon gestorben sind.
Aber ihre Lieder sind und werden für immer bleiben.
Und alle leben in den Herzen weiter und werden niemals vergessen.
❤🙏🌹😢

Weird how there's stuff with one week at a low chart position I can still sing along, and stuff I will swear I haven't ever heard in my life with multiple weeks in the upper third. But I guess that shows why there are separate single, album, and radio charts...

[dasjediqiinstitut]

Thank you for that great job! Please more of that!

[paleksander]

Hi Francis, what a wonderful discovery, sometimes I looked in disbelief, more often with delight Well, maybe close is the day when the number of German alternative songs will equalize the number of "schlager - melodies" - maybe in 1983? (btw - isn't it strange that Nina Hagen, DAF and X-Mal Deutschland were more appreciated elsewhere than in their homeland?) I was very surprised by 7:46, because it's a single from the 70's, and here it was probably a re-issue after the success of "Don't You Want Me". Can't wait for 1983, thanks a lot!

[JeanLuc]

Thank you! Some really good music - and a few really strange… But did I miss Falco‘s version of „Der Kommissar“? He was very successful in 1982 with this song…
