About this listen
It’s December 12, 1986, and we’re turning the synths up, the collars high, and the volume way past ten. This week on Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK, Europe crashes in at number one with “The Final Countdown,” but they’re not alone, Erasure, Bon Jovi, Swing Out Sister, and even a reissued Jackie Wilson hit are climbing the charts and blasting from every Walkman in town.
We’ve got all the usual goodies: 2 trivia breaks (including one about banana-scented fashion?!), a wildly nostalgic midpoint story, and the kind of track intros that’ll make you feel like you’re flipping through Smash Hits with a can of Tab in hand. And hey, our Bonus Vault drop this week is Episode 2 of the Top 100 Rock Tracks Turning 40, so don’t miss that either.
