About this listen

August 1983 was the season of late-night drives, neon-soaked arcades, and radios blasting the soundtrack of a generation. On this week’s Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we rewind to a chart that caught the pulse of the summer: swaggering rock, soaring pop, and synths that lit up every roller rink floor. From school hallways to suburban streets, these were the songs that carried us through the last stretch of summer and etched themselves into our teenage memory. Press play and relive the Top 20 for the week of August 13, 1983.
