This week on the Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we rewind to January 12, 1985, a week that had Madonna sparking a revolution, Jack Wagner breaking hearts from the soap set to the stereo, and Duran Duran unleashing a sci-fi music video fever dream.

From Bryan Adams’ gritty romance to Foreigner’s gospel-tinged plea, this countdown brings pure 80s fire, velvet vocals, and unforgettable flair.
