Description

A TOP 30 countdown of the nation’s favourite 80s songs, as voted for by the British public. A look at some of the most popular songs of the 1980s, an era when Wham!, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Kylie made their debuts. It was also a time when Band Aid attempted to Feed the World, and Stock Aitken and Waterman-related acts dominated the charts. The Human League, Culture Club, Duran Duran, and Adam and the Ants also enjoyed plenty of Top 40 success. This documentary not only discusses the music and the culture at the time. But speaks to the people who created the music of those times.
