This week on Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK, we’re rewinding to the electric spring of May 14, 1982!

From the synth-pop shimmer of Yazoo and Depeche Mode to the stadium-sized anthems of Joan Jett and Paul McCartney, this chart is pure early 80s magic.

We’ll relive the hits that soundtracked bedrooms, football matches, first loves, and maybe even your first Walkman!
