How well do you know Top 40 hits of the 80s?  I present to you 100 Top 40 hits (50 from the UK and 50 from America), plus a bonus section of 20 minor hits (10 from each the US and the UK).  Please enjoy :)


TOTAL LIMIT = 0


UK TOP 40 - 1 point each
UK TOP 100 - 2 points each

US TOP 40 - 1 point each
US TOP 100 - 2 points each


Remember to specify from which section you are answering, otherwise your guess won't count.  Points appear, with the # of songs answered in brackets.  The Limit is for # of songs, not points, so you could get a max of 10 points on 5 songs

ADDED BONUS:  While making this quiz, I made an error.  I thought US TOP 40 song 1 made the Top 40, but it did not, so therefore it only from that section is worth 2 points

Thanks Jason...I get soooo confused with all those 'slippery' numbers... ;D

Jason - wonderful quiz and some wonderful memories once again, thanks so much for your efforts in producing these quizzes  :).

Some of my favourites here....

#17 Ghosts - Japan
#19 Duel - Propaganda
#37 Big Apple - Kajagoogoo

UK Top 100
#6 Eighties - Killing Joke 
#8 When Love Breaks Down - Prefab Sprout

"Eighties" was a big juke box favourite of mine in the Student Union bar, until it was removed at the request of pretty much everyone else because I played it too often  ::).
The guitar riff was also shamelessly ripped off  by Nirvana about 10 years later on "Come As You Are", although Killing Joke never saw a bean in royalites.

I would never have known US #40 if I hadn't used it in one of my own quizzes. I can't remember I've ever heard it on the radio over here (probably because it got stuck in our bubbling under section).

All correct, especially the artist on #32.  Care to venture a song title guess on it? :)

The Limit is now off.  Post away :)

Not much up my sleeve, Jason...

From UK Top 40:
27 - the artist must be Forrest
28 - the artist is Shakatak, I think
35 - Dolce Vita - Ryan Paris

From US Top 40:
9 - Is it Shine Shine by Barry Gibb? ???

All correct, especially the artist on #32.  Care to venture a song title guess on it? :)


Well, they didn't have too many songs in the US Top 40, so I'd have to guess that it's 'Don't Look Down'... :)

BTW, my favorite by them is 'We Close Our Eyes'...


Okay, I just had another listen and I have a few more... :)

24. song is 'I Know You're Out There Somewhere'
27. song is 'Mad About You'
36. song is 'Back Where You Belong'

32. Go West - Don't Look Down
44. Irene Cara - The Dream (Hold Onto Your Dream).


Thats it for now.  A few songs are familiar but I have to think about them a bit.

dang, I knew you'd lift the limit whilst I was away.  I meant to PM you my other answers.  And now I've misplaced the piece of paper I wrote them on.

'We Close Our Eyes' is a very good song.  The animated music video for it was directed by Godley and Creme and was exceptional! :)

Don't Look Down is correct, though the actual title is 'Don't Look Down (The Sequel)'.  It appears on their 1987 album 'Dancing on the Couch'.  The original version simply titled 'Don't Look Down' was a 1985 UK Top 40 hit appears on their self-titled debut album

The rest of your answers are correct :)

'Love Machine' by The Miracles was NOT a UK Top 40 hit in the 80s, so unfortunately it is incorrect :P

You were beaten to Barry Gibb, Ryan Paris and Go West.  The rest of your answers are 100% correct :) 
I was hoping no one would recognize that Bourgie Bourgie one because I had a real good clue for it.  "It appears on one of the infamous UK compilations of 'Now That's What I Call Music' in the 80s"

UK Top 40

#23 Might be Spandau Ballet
#25 Best Years Of Our Lives
#32 Love Machine
#34 Camera Never Lies - Bucks Fizz

I've thrown everyone off with #32 LOL  It is not 'Love Machine' :P

#23 isn't Spandau Ballet, but the rest of your guesses are spot on :)

I've thrown everyone off with #32 LOL  It is not 'Love Machine' :P

Technically it is, but in this instance it's part of Wham's 'Club Fantastic Megamix', which was totally disowned by the pair!

Slightly off-topic, Jason...but 'Bourgie Bourgie' does not appear on any of the 'NOW' or 'Hits' collections (probably because it wasn't much of a hit!)

You may be getting confused with a K-Tel effort!  :P

Also, while I'm here...

UK #21. 'Tossing And Turning' - Windjammer
UK #23. 'I Want To Be Your Property' - Blue Mercedes
UK #24. 'Labelled With Love' - Squeeze
UK #25. artist - Modern Romance
UK #28. title - 'Invitations'
UK #31. 'San Damiano (Heart And Soul)' - Sal Solo
UK #39. 'Don't Try To Stop It' - Roman Holiday
UK #44. 'Me And Mr. Sanchez' - Blue Rondo A La Turk

I could have sworn 'Breaking Point' was on a NOW album.  I read it in a book long ago.  For years, I thought it was a UK Top 40 hit, until I discovered it was not lol

And we have a winner on #32.  I knew it would be one not so easily solved, but you got it!  Your other answers are correct :)

I was starting to think no one was gonna get the Blue Rondo one.  I almost threw in their follow-up minor hit 'Klactoveedsteen' for the UK Top 100 section, but it's just such a strange song, I couldn't bear to do it LOL

And seeing there's so few left, I should bring out the hints, but before I do, I must ask ..

Are there any songs left that anyone atleast recognizes to hear?

US Top 100

Is the artist either LRB or (just Glen Shorrock)?

UK Top 40

#5 sounds very Depeche Mode....

Had another listen...Hints might be helpful for some.

Here's a few guesses from me:

UK Top 40:
#5: sounds a lot like Vince Clarke on keyboard. I'm pretty sure it's not Depeche Mode, so it's either Yaz(oo) or Erasure. I'm thinking...Erasure, maybe? :-\\

US Top 40:
#1: is the artist Michael McDonald? ???

UK Top 40

#5 sounds very Depeche Mode....


Sounds a bit Sinitta-ish to me!  :P

'So Macho', perhaps?

US Top 100

Is the artist either LRB or (just Glen Shorrock)?


If you mean #57, then yes it is Glenn Shorrock with his only US solo hit :)

As for the other guess, as well as Henk and Paul's guesses, they are incorrect.  I should provide hints






HINTS:

UK #5 | A 1980 hit that reached #20 in the UK.  A few years ago, it was remixed and sampled by a group called The Conways who turned it into a popular club hit all over again

UK #50 | 1984 hit that reached #20 in the UK.  The song title is also the title of a long running US dance show

UK #51 | I'm a little surprised no one has gotten this one.  It has been a long popular club favourite that was written by Malcolm McLaren.  In 1997, it helped give Mariah Carey her 12th #1 hit in America

UK #54 | The follow-up single from this artist who is already somewhere in this quiz.  And as you can tell by this and the song already in this quiz, since he went "on his own", the music style is much different from that of the band he used to front


US #1 | A legendary instrumentalist from Brasil.  This song was the theme to a 1984 event, despite not appearing on it's soundtrack

US #2 | A long forgotten 1980 song by a long forgotten band.  Their only other chart single in America was a minor hit cover of the Walker Brothers' 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' in 1981

US #7 | Pretty Poison also has a song with this title

US #11 | Does a jet airliner fly like an eagle?  Maybe not, but this 1981 hit is also the title of a 1983 movie and an album by Linda Ronstadt

US #19 | The name of this band is also the name of af ilm award given in Argentina.  This was their only hit

US #30 | US/Canada only hit for Kylie.  Mum's not the word in this case

US #31 | The only US Top 40 hit for this singer.  His last name describes the type of music he became known for writing, singing and producing

US #49 | The follow-up single to their 1981 hit 'Sweetheart'.  Watch out for those one, two punches

US #52 | A German band that many people think sound like Depeche Mode.  This was their first hit and only US charting single.  They are very hard to spot, but if you part the red sea, you still won't be able to see them lol

US #57 | Glenn Shorrock's only charting single in America as a solo artist.  From his 1983 album 'Villain of the Peace'

HINTS:

UK #5 | A 1980 hit that reached #20 in the UK.  A few years ago, it was remixed and sampled by a group called The Conways who turned it into a popular club hit all over again

Hokay! It's not Sinitta then!  :-UK #50 | 1984 hit that reached #20 in the UK.  The song title is also the title of a long running US dance show

'Soul Train' - Swans Way

UK #54 | The follow-up single from this artist who is already somewhere in this quiz.  And as you can tell by this and the song already in this quiz, since he went "on his own", the music style is much different from that of the band he used to front

Sal Solo (again) - 'Music And You' (you finally 'found' this one, eh?  ;))

US #30 | US/Canada only hit for Kylie.  Mum's not the word in this case

'It's No Secret'

I'm just guessing here...


UK #50 | 1984 hit that reached #20 in the UK.  The song title is also the title of a long running US dance show


"Come Dancing"..?  ???



US #1 | A legendary instrumentalist from Brasil.  This song was the theme to a 1984 event, despite not appearing on it's soundtrack


Sergio Mendes, I assume.


US #11 | Does a jet airliner fly like an eagle?  Maybe not, but this 1981 hit is also the title of a 1983 movie and an album by Linda Ronstadt


That's the Steve Miller Band. No idea what song - they had no 1981 hits over here.
