  • Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown - UK (Nov 8, 1981)

    Get ready for a trip back to the golden era of music as we count down the UK Top 20 hits from November 8, 1981! This week’s chart is packed with everything from heartfelt ballads to head-banging anthems, and even a few reggae-inspired gems.

    Join your host Bret as we celebrate timeless classics from Blondie, David Bowie, Motorhead, and ABBA, while sprinkling in fun trivia about the artists, the songs, and the UK in the 80s. Did you know Lemmy wrote Ace of Spades in just 10 minutes? Or that Blondie’s The Tide Is High was originally a Jamaican track? You’ll learn it all right here!

    So grab your Walkman, crank up the volume, and prepare for an hour of nostalgia, music, and a little 80s magic. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky at @GenX80sCountdown for more updates, behind-the-scenes fun, and next week’s trivia vote.

    It’s time to rewind—because the 80s never go out of style!
