This week on Gen X 80s Countdown, we’re traveling back to March 11, 1989, a time when boy bands were rising, new jack swing was taking over, and rock legends were proving they still had what it takes.

🎧 Get ready for Debbie Gibson’s chart-topping ballad, the boy band explosion of New Kids on the Block, and the dance-pop energy of Paula Abdul and Milli Vanilli. Plus, we’ve got rock anthems from Guns N’ Roses and Rod Stewart, smooth R&B from Bobby Brown and Anita Baker, and a few surprises along the way.

🔥 And don’t forget, our exclusive Patreon series, Top 100 Rock Tracks of 1985, just wrapped up. If you’re a rock fan, head over to Patreon for more deep-dive episodes.

Follow us @GenX80sCountdown on Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and Mastodon for even more 80s nostalgia. And if you love the show, buy us a coffee at BuyMeACoffee.com, because keeping the 80s alive takes a LOT of caffeine. ☕
