I'm an American. It was interesting to see what songs of ours charted in your country. There were a few American songs which did better in NZ than they did over here.
Joy Division's Atmosphere being knocked off number one by Kool and the Gang's Celebration has to be greatest contrast between two consecutive chart toppers ever.
Fantastic video! It's always very interesting to see which songs went to number one in smaller countries like New Zealand. Joy Divison, for example, had 2 number one hits, something that they didn't achieve in any other country.
Oh wow, ten years of my life just flashed before my eyes! Even some of those video clips brought memories flooding back. Some of the sounds and sights I hadn't thought about in decades.
I'm a Kiwi, born in 1980. When The Cats Away, The Holidaymakers and Margaret Urlich bring back very vivid memories... of course, as a kid I had no idea that they were "just" New Zealand artists. And 'Slice of Heaven' by Dave Dobbyn + Herbs is one the quintessential songs of my childhood. The nostalgia is REAL.
Can't believe The King of Pop did not have more than one #1 hit outside of "Beat It" in the whole 1980s.
My take away from this compilation is that Kiwis like to groove.

"Let's Dance" David Bowie didn't even credit Stevie Ray Vaughan for doing the lead work on the track but instead faked his own playing on his video.
Kiwis had better taste then us Aussies in those days!! 😉
OMG...Twistin by the pool...... why Mark why ? Ya better than this
Trio at No.1 in New Zealnd wowsers
In 1984 when U2 reached #1 with "Pride", it was the band's first single to top the charts outside of Ireland.

I was 8yrs old in 1980,& remember these No.1 songs through the 80s.
Even though I don't know the majority of the songs, they are still better than the music we have now. Good one francis 👍!!!
