Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK: February 20, 1981 – A Little Bit of Everything!

  • Résumé

  • It’s time to rewind to February 20, 1981, when rock, new wave, funk, and a little bit of novelty magic collided on the UK charts!


    🎧 This week’s countdown is packed with legends—John Lennon, Blondie, Phil Collins, Madness, and Dire Straits—along with some surprises, like the rockabilly swagger of The Stray Cats and the powerhouse glam comeback of Slade. Plus, the infamous Number 1 hit that blocked Ultravox’s Vienna from the top spot!


    As always, we’ll dive into the stories behind the songs, test your 80s knowledge with some trivia breaks, and take a trip back to the golden age of arcades in our mid-show segment.

    🔊 Bonus: Our Patreon-exclusive series is in full swing with Episode 2 of the Top 100 Rock Songs from 1985—check it out for even more deep dives into the greatest rock tracks of the decade!
