Plans on freezing in the dark
Nor do I
I was stationed in Okinawa in 1989. I don't remember half these songs![]()
The early 80's were such an odd fun mix of rock, new wave, r&b, and country pop.
Plus, these countdowns take you back and remind you of what was going on in your life at the time. I had just finished my 4 years traveling around the world in the Navy in July '82 and was trying to adjust to civilian life again! Good Times

Got lucky & guessed Billboard- great week in music :bigclap:Going out on a limb and try to predict this weekends playlist- they use several different charts, so it's just a guessing game. If they do, I see a few I'm not at all familiar with! :thumbsup:
