Once again, this quiz is based on Canadian Charts. I am proud to present 30 BIG HITS of 1980. Many of these were successful in the US and/or the UK, among other countries, but here in Canada, every one of them made the Top 50. Enjoy!
NOTE: There is no puzzle behind the quiz this time. The squares with the blue cars means that clip has been solved :)
THE LIMIT = 0
CatwomanofV = 4 | Henk =

When I do 1981 through 1989, they should begin to get easier. 1980 songs are always a challenge

#1 and #5 are correct
#29 is Daydream Believer, but #3 isn't Boogie Nights. Good guess though :)

Hi Jason...
#3. 'Last Train To London' - ELO
(Actually a 'spillover' from the previous year in Britain...the refrain from this was recently used in another song, much to my annoyance!)
#17. 'It's Hard To Be Humble' - Mac Davis
(Who had loads of fine charted songs in his homeland, but this proved to be his biggest seller over here!)
#20. The evergreen 'Echo Beach' - Martha & The Muffins
