1980 telde enkele zwakke, maar langdurige nummer één hits.
Daardoor kwamen sommige klassiekers te weinig aan bod.
Het is een scharnierjaar ... van disco naar new wave.

Gelukt.

Minder goed dan 1979 (maar dat was ook een bijzonder goed jaar), maar toch veel goede hits en albums. Rap deed ook zijn intrede in de hitlijsten. Toch veel dance/disco bij de nr.1-hits (ook PAUL McCARTNEY en QUEEN gingen de discotoer op). Deze 18 vind ik zeker prima.
