This is great, would love to see these kinds of list for the 90's as well. So many forgotten songs that never hit it big on the charts, but in my opinion, still good tunes! Thanks as always for the hard work you put into these videos!!
"With You I'm Born Again" by Billy Preston & Syreeta peaked at #4 in 1980 - granted a lost hit not played on radio anymore, but the biggest hit of all from this collection. Some standout tracks for me here - Kurtis Blow/The Breaks, Dynasty/I've Just Begun To Love You, Zapp/More Bounce to the Ounce.
Tourists were doing a cover. Dusty did the original in the 60's ( written by a songwriting team that you can look up ). Pretenders were covering a Kinks song ( Stop Your Sobbing ).
Never knew there was a song about J.R. And that M J surprise duet, wow! I love the songs that are sometimes at the bottom bc I still heard of some of them.
Les amoureux des 70's et des 80's n'ont pas oublié ces chansons, celles-ci seront toujours dans leurs coeurs :) Il y a plusieurs titres ici (pas tous, bien sûr) que je connais bien (Robert Palmer, Bonnie Raitt, Molly Hatchet, Rush, Journey, Blondie, The Boomtown Rats, April Wine, Foreigner, John "Cougar" Mellencamp, Jefferson Starship, John Denver, Survivor, Stevie Wonder, Karla Bonoff, Warren Zevon, Jimmy Buffett, Styx, Nazareth, The Babys, Eddie Rabbitt, Pat Travers Band, The Motors, Van Halen, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon, Player, Fleetwood Mac, Triumph, The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Grateful Dead, Roy Orbison & Emmylou Harris, Firefall, J. Geils Band, ZZ Top, Hotel, Gerry Rafferty, Rossington Collins Band, Ted Nugent, Touch, Foghat, Pete Townshend, 707, The B-52's, Eddie Money, Eric Clapton). Les titres en question figurent sur des albums que je possède. Sinon, j'ai été agréablement surpris de découvrir la présence de The Inmates, The Kingbees, Humperdinck Engelbert (le gardien de mon immeuble est un inconditionnel de ce chanteur) et The Silencers, des artistes sous-estimés du grand public.
And how many songs we did hear in our region that charted higher than 50. I don't recognize more than half of the songs listed but I recognize most of the artists.
What I'm wondering is do radio stations play 100 songs a month but not as many rotations for the weaker songs we realise that there's songs being played from 100 to 1 and these are the most played songs I never realised that their radio stations would play songs but not as many Rotations if they weren't big hits but they did play on a few weeks and other places where regional
Thanks for the vid, it does indeed contain some forgotten gems! 👍

I so appeciate your efforts. Big New Wave fan, and I forgot all about Roxy Music's "Over You". Such a great song.
This is great! I truly enjoyed this!

Very nice, good work. Would love to see 1981-1984 episodes.
Thanks For Sharing!
I wish you did more of these. "Forgotten" "Vol.2" vids.
I made a lot of these, volume 2 from 1963 to 1994
Not the best of Eighties and Seventies,
but still better than the " very best " of today.
Especially from the year 2000 on.
Muy buena música..
Só músicas incríveis. Amei o vídeo.
All these great classic artist trying so hard and hoping to have a huge hit in the 1980's. Many failed.

It's amazing How many songs are out each year

Check out "the marketing of terri gibb" it pretty interesting on how the whole system works....
17:01 zapp just blew away every song in this video.
Some classics there like Star and can we still be friends and Spirit of Radio.
The person with Roberta flack is peabo Bryson in the video n not Donny Hathaway
I remembered more than I thought I would . Lol
13:06 RIP Dusty Hill
Did you check the R and B billboard for some of these songs. I remember alot of them and they charted a lot higher than 50-100
It's not about R&B billboard, but the Hot 100 singles
Blondie ❤️
Hello
That is Annie Lennox, singer for the Tourists!
I dont like Mondays by Boomtown
Rats a forgotten song ?!
TIL that Warren Zevon had another top 100 hit besides Werewolves of London. I wouldn't have guessed that it would have been A Certain Girl though.
Ahhhhh - oooooooooh werewolves of London. Lol
Excitable Boy is perhaps the other most well known by him. No idea if it was in the 100.
Sao Paulo/Brazil
I always thought it was called Firecracker not Computer Game...oh well
Ha its old car i had
Was class of 1980 go class of 1980 best 80s class
