1980 was a crazy year for music, given Disco’s hold on the charts fading, punk re-emerging, and rock trying to find it’s 80s identity. What were the top songs of 1980?

1. Call Me – Blondie
2. Celebration – Kool & The Gang
3. Another One Bites the Dust – Queen
4. You Shook Me All Night Long – AC/DC
5. Whip It – Devo
6. Love Will Tear Us Apart – Joy Division
7. Rapture – Blondie
8. Back In Black – AC/DC
9. The Breaks – Kurtis Blow

Prologue: Blondie is still popular having played through the Disco era, while AC/DC seems to have grabbed the rock mantle post 70s. A few ‘one hit wonders’ appear in Devo, Kurtis, and the Joy Division – all great tunes, all fading after 1980.
