In 1980 I was 12.
So in 1990 I was 22.
Yep; I’m a child of the eighties.
Music.
Music played a big part of my growing up.
Then it faded away a little.
And now it’s back.
I get nostalgic.
The Eighties.
So here I am.
Listing the best selling singles from 1980 to 1990.
The top 10?
No.
The top 11, actually.
Because one of my favourite tunes ever is at 11.

Great tunes. I think the 12th one should be Blue Monday by New Order. Just saying!
Yes! Great tune, Matt.

Spotify makes me brilliant playlists automatically. They get updated every day. Chock full of nostalgic loveliness.
