Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK: Chart Crusaders, Pop Outlaws & Sunset Slow Burns – April 24, 1987
Description
This week on Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK, we rewind to April 24, 1987; a chart where passion pulsed under polish, and pop dared to get personal. From Madonna’s sun-drenched dreamscape to U2’s aching intensity, this countdown is a collision of slow burns and big swings. Bon Jovi rides the storm, The Smiths sharpen their wit, Terence Trent D’Arby makes his debut, and Glenn & Chris do… whatever that was.
It’s a lineup of ballads, anthems, curiosities, and absolute bangers that defined the week when ’87 got emotional.
And don’t miss the big news; Gen X 90s Top 20 Countdown launches this week! New decade, new chart, same nostalgic obsession.
