This week on Gen X 80s Countdown, we’re taking you back to February 21, 1981, when the charts were packed with everything from new wave and soft rock to disco and country crossovers.
🎧 We’ve got Dolly Parton working hard at 9 to 5, Blondie bringing hip-hop into the mainstream with Rapture, John Lennon delivering heartfelt ballads, and Kool & The Gang getting us on our feet with Celebration!
Along the way, we’ll dive into the stories behind the hits, throw in some 80s trivia, and share a nostalgic memory that will take you right back to the magic of the early 80s.
Follow us @GenX80sCountdown on Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and Mastodon for even more 80s nostalgia. And if you love the show, support us on Patreon for exclusive bonus content—like our current series on the Top 100 Rock Tracks of 1985—or buy us a coffee at Buy Me a Coffee dot com, slash Gen X 80s Countdown to help keep the music alive!
