On this week’s Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we time-travel back to December 3, 1988, a week when pop ballads met rock grit, and unexpected mashups topped the charts. From Poison’s tear-soaked anthem to George Michael’s smooth restraint, from Bon Jovi’s adrenaline to Duran Duran’s stylish defiance, this countdown has it all.
And we’re celebrating in style, because we’ve just opened the vault and dropped two bonus episodes: the Top 20 Latin Tracks from August 13, 1988, now available in both English and Spanish. Originally for Patreon, now they’re here for everyone.
