Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown: Top 20 Hits of June 7, 1980 - The End of an Era, The Start of a New Decade

  • Summary

  • This week on Gen X 80s Countdown, we’re heading back to June 7, 1980—a time when the 70s were fading, and the 80s were kicking the door wide open.


    🎧 We’ve got Lipps, Inc. bringing the funk at Number 1, Paul McCartney proving Beatlemania never really ended, and Blondie, Bob Seger, and Elton John delivering the timeless classics we still love today.


    Plus, we’ll dive into the game-changing sounds of new wave, the ballads that broke our hearts, and the movie soundtracks that made history.


    🎸 And BIG news for our Patreon fans. Our Top 100 Rock Tracks of 1985 series just wrapped up, so if you haven’t heard the grand finale yet, now’s the time to catch up. Join us on Patreon for even more deep-dive episodes.


    Follow us @GenX80sCountdown on Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and Mastodon for even more 80s nostalgia. And if you love the show, buy us a coffee at BuyMeACoffee.com —because keeping the 80s alive takes a LOT of caffeine. ☕
