    Take on Me is one of the only songs that is universally beloved. Even ppl that hate it still love it. Just about the perfect song

      I was into it during the Corky Romano era. I feel nothing from it anymore, but if it's paired with the music video then I'll take a moment to enjoy it.

      It is! While I tried to share it, UA-cam deleted the link. I’m sorry. You can find it pretty easily using “Billboard,” “80s” and “number ones.”

      I have Spotify playlist I've made for research that was "summer number 1 hits of the 90s".. and I would add only number 1s. I don't think they were public... but now when I hear songs I think ooooh this is a summer 92 hit!!

    0:50 - I don't know what it was, but that song from Xanadu was just awesome in my eyes. You really feel like Olivia Newton John is some sort of angelic muse from another realm singing this especially to you.

    This just brought me back to when I was between the ages of 9 through 14, and it was exactly what I needed today 😊 The idea of being able to go back in time sounds amazing, but at the same time I wouldn’t want to. Mainly because who wants to go back to their pre-teen days??

    As a bass player, I forgot how good many of these musicians were even though the songs themselves were campy.
    Awesome video, thank you.

      I am surprised that Roger Waters didn't get his panties in a wad for "The Wall". Though it is well known that the Eagles are militant on strikes.

      I had to cut two seconds from Like a Virgin, three seconds from Let’s Dance, and two seconds from Open Your Heart. Oh, and two seconds from Heaven is a place on Earth. Those copyright claims came after I posted the first video and made it through checks ok. 😊

    i have most of these in my library. actually i went through the annual hot 100 from the beginning. anything i liked, i added to my library. any artist that made it into my library, i want farther into their discog and added what i liked, placed on a chart or not. i think i did the math once and came up to around a month of 8-hr weekdays to play through the entire library without any repeats. TAKE THAT classic rock stations bragging about no-repeat workdays.

    • @SuperMarioBrosIII

      @dhtsoadsdhtnadi9575 Ditto for me and then some! But what makes my collection more definitive to this list is that I have stuff from overseas The UK, Germany, Australia, so I have CD's by artists you've never heard of but deliver that warm crisp sound of the 80's which is not like anything else in mainstream music today! Have you heard of Stock Aitken and Waterman? The production team known as the British Motown! You may recall songs like Never Gonna Give You Up, and Venus by Bananarama but how about artists like Sonia, Big Fun, Sinitta, Jason Donovan, Brilliant, Spelt Like This, Romi And Jazz, Pepsi And Shirlie, Brother Beyond, O'Chi Brown, Hazell Dean, Cliff Richard, Kylie Minogue to name a few. Then you have other artists like Modern Talking, C.C. Catch and Sandra who were blowing up the European charts. Again most of these artists didn't make a dent on US soil. 💽🕺💃🧑‍🎤

      @@mysocalledgenxlife 🧑‍🎤Michael Damian actually sang the original Saved By the Bell theme song! It's on the series soundtrack CD but when the show went into syndication the opening sequence with alternative scenes with the cast from seasons 1 and 2 NBC 🦚claims they lost the master tapes hence why syndication has the generic intro for all 4 seasons which feature another person singing the title song most are more familiar with.🏫📚🔔🛹
