About this listen

This week on the Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we rewind to December 13, 1986, a week where funk met fire and pop went deep. Bruce Hornsby delivered truth with a piano, Wang Chung told us all to have fun, and Janet Jackson claimed her place in the spotlight with pure, undeniable control.


From synth to soul, slow burns to stadium shouts, this countdown has it all.


And don’t miss this week’s Bonus Vault drop: Episode 2 of the Top 100 Rock Tracks Turning 40 is out now!
