Rewind to May 18, 1980, for this week’s Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK! Join your host, Bret, as we revisit a chart bursting with timeless classics, from Johnny Logan’s Eurovision-winning ballad to the ska energy of The Beat and the futuristic synths of Gary Numan.
Along the way, we’ll dish out some fun 80s UK trivia—did you know Pac-Man fever hit Britain in 1980? Plus, don’t miss a hilarious faux ad for the infamous Maserati Biturbo—because every great countdown deserves a little turbo trouble!
Crank up the nostalgia, and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky at @GenX80sCountdown for behind-the-scenes fun and next week’s listener poll. It’s time to relive the music, the memories, and the madness of 1980!
