I graduated from high school in 1989. Wind Beneath My Wings was played at the graduation ceremony. Really liked Roxette, and B52s. I saw Billy Joel Storm Front tour that year.

[@davepedersen2115]

Class of 89 here!! Such wonderful memories ❤️ 😁🤗

[@angelingelheM]

I love 80s music ❤

[@momster64]

I love these compilations cause oldies stations seem to play only a select number of 80’s songs repeatedly. Some of these songs I haven’t heard in years!

[@marcus813]

My local classic hits station, Q105 (WRBQ), plays mostly '80s songs, but I don't hear more variety on the station until it runs its Saturday Night Dance Party show. Even various adult contemporary stations don't play some of these tracks for some reason.

[@theevn7]

11:39 I love the last part with cherry, this segment is amazing, goosebumps when she said, "90's come with a good new decade" (truth & amazing decade in everything)

[@danmorley8116]

Great as usual. Brings back some memories from high school. My favourites include Another Day In Paradise, the two Fine Young Cannibals tracks and The Living Years, which is a very powerful song. And who could forget Milli Vanilli or NKOTB? Or the girl-next-door style of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson?

[@francispelletier3647]

1989 is a great musical year in USA, Billboard was fantastic at this era (better than in Europe). Lot of fantastic hits, and 1989 was the first time I went to America, so I love it more ! My favorite songs are "This time I know it's for real"n "Second change" and "Eternal flame", but I love many more. Thanks for the video !

[@kelleyklase1308]

Thanks Random for taking me down memory lane. This is the year I finished high school and started college

[@paleksander5192]

Thanks a lot, SRG! 1989 was a hell of a crazy year and you can hear it in almost every second of this set. Some songs made me burst into laugh (boysbands / fakebands mostly), while others brought so much nostalgia ( 1:38, 3:32, 7:40), but we should be grateful to all creators / performers. Janet 11:15 and Cher 11:26 at their best. And look how strong stood European music in the US in 1989 - 10:46, 11:09, 9:17, 1:49, 2:32, 5:33, 8:54 !

[@jayo.7086]

No ten for you: Songs peaking at No. 11 were “Holding On” by Steve Winwood, “Electric Youth” by Debbie Gibson, “Crazy About Her” by Rod Stewart, “Keep On Moving” by Soul II Soul, “Don’t Look Back” by Fine Young Cannibals, “Get On Your Feet” by Gloria Estefan, “Leave A Light On” by Belinda Carlisle, and “Don’t Close Your Eyes” by Kix.

[@TheLionTheLambRom1221]

Leave a Light On, peaking at #11, is criminal. The song to this day has over 100 million hits (Spotify, KZbin, etc and is growing fast). Should have been a least a Top 10. #11 is great but not high enough for Leave a Light On

[@cassiepittman1489]

I was a freshman in high school that year 🎶 thanks for sending me down memory lane ✨ there was so many great songs that year 😎 great job, some random guy ✌️💖🤩

[@andrievska]

Tricky thing - some #1-s are no in roll anymore, but some lower hits - still masterpieces!!

[@joaquinfernandez4119]

All these songs could have been number 1, They're really gooddddd I was 16 at that time What a good age for your influence in music!!! Now every song sounds the same ... At that time pop, rock, dance, black music, teensge music .... Ufff incredible 🎉😂!!!!!!!

[@darrellcook7766]

The year I graduated....many memories!

The end of the 80's and of my adolescence.

Sorry I can't make a Spotify playlist for every video, sometimes I add them later.

[@claudiazamora8420]

Love these videos 📹 they were when I was barely leaving middle school and entering high school 🏫 good memories

[@perseusjoppa426]

The year of chart domination by New Kids On The Block, Bobby Brown, Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli, Madonna, Richard Marx and Bon Jovi, and the release of Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation 1814", then becoming the #1 album of 1990.

My best life began in 1989... although I wouldn't realize it at the time!

[@margaretceline2711]

Thanks alot Random, your the best❤

[@stevegallo8483]

1989 was a great year for music (other than that B 52s song I hated then and still hate!), and it was a huge year for NKOTB and for Milli Vanilli. (We all know how things turned out for Milli Vanilli though.)

[@Pietervdv]

Actually I think quite the opposite. A lot of crap music was made this year and this list proves it. Of course with a few exceptions.

[@ForeignerFan74]

Thanks For Sharing!

[@diaz5621]

Just remember won a dance competition on the track pump up the jam, in school thank you for reminincing those moment back to my mind

[@pikespice]

1989 saw me finish my freshman year in high school, have to attend summer school, then start my sophomore year. These songs encompass all 3 stages of my memories. lol

[@halfbloodprince7840]

Hope you had a great Day. 💕 Love your Videos. 💞 Greetings from Germany ❣️ ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍

[@some.random.baldie2111]

1989 is a really strong year musically. So many good songs here. Thank you 👍 My favourites are 'Dreamin'', 'Superwoman', all of the Madonna, Paula Abdul, Neneh, Janet and Guns N Roses entries, 'Eternal Flame', 'Miss You Like Crazy', 'Toy Soldiers', 'Don't Want To Lose You Now', 'Heaven', 'If I Could Turn Back Time', '18 and a Life', 'Love Shack', 'Angelia', 'Poison' (my #1 of 1989) and 'Just Like Jessie James'. Can I add Cher, Janet Jackson and Madonna were at their most beautiful at this point.

[@paleksander5192]

It's not just beauty - personally for me "Rhythm Nation", "Just Like Jesse James" and "Like a Prayer" stand still as the most valuable songs of each of the Ladies

[@juliusnepos6013]

Excited if you will do 1990 next

[@Desire123ification]

Magnificent! Thx. ✨💯

[@grzegorzjanowski8353]

So now SRG you've finished the US Top 10 Hits of the 1980s which decade will you do next, the 90s or the 70s?

[@somerandomguy_music]

I will pause the series for now, but I plan on continuing with the 70s backwards (starting with 1979) in the future.

[@clairefunnell8481]

All for Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Skid Row, White Lion, Richard Marx, Bad English. Great songs here. Thanks for the memories. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathrynjames2744]

I fell in Love hard with my husband that year. ❤I wish I had a time machine to go back and relive a few months!!❤❤❤

[@marcus813]

I'm not sure how I missed a few of these songs! I have no excuse for missing Tiffany's hits from '89. Thankfully, I heard Exposé's songs in this compilation within the last decade. "When I Looked at Him" is my favorite ballad from the group. I think this is when Exposé started to transition away from its usual freestyle sound to more of a pop/adult contemporary sound.

[@AndySp3080]

Glad to see that New Kids on the Block had many hits back in 1989.

[@FallenAngelTeam]

*Just for having everyone's favorite fake in the thumbnail, this post deserves a thumbs up!!!*

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ FallenAngel: Silly Vanilli certainly ain't my favourite of anything!

[@JoeyDEMITRO-tj1zi]

AWESOME MUSIC TOO MY FRIEND

[@katwil89]

"The 80's are over just like that"🙁 It went by so quick.

[@AmerieFanbase]

Rhythm Nation was a cultural reset!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

'The Living Years' is the best song of the last 35 years.

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Cool, I know all these songs 🥰

[@marsgal42]

Some real quality here. Some forgotten, after 30-odd years they just don't hold up. And a few that are memorable for all the wrong reasons... "Walkin' through a crowd the village is aglow..." 😛

[@TheFamousRleon]

1989 is such an underrated year, too bad everyone thinks of Taylor Swift when it comes to the year. These songs are the REAL 1989.

[@danrumble74]

I wouldn't even assume that Taylor Swift was alive in '89. Pretty sure she wasn't.

[@danrumble74]

Did you mean Taylor Dane? 😆

[@juliusnepos6013]

Well she was born at the last weeks so I don't think that shouldn't be a comparison. Anyways happy to hear All This Time

[@arturoromero951]

Well it’s called 1989 just because she was born that year. The songs on that album are pretty catchy and cool too. However, these songs from the actual year are cool too.

[@danrumble74]

@@arturoromero951 Thank you. That makes sense. I didn't know she had a song called that 🙂

[@homersimpsonsfatguyhat9541]

Bobby Brown was the worst thing that happened to Whitney Houston

Please can you do every US top 10 hit from 1990?

[@lauracaywood3006]

Love Shack is a great song. It rose to #3 on the Billboard hot 100 in the US but #1 in Australia and New Zealand, respectfully. Five members of the B-52s are gone.

[@cktan2739]

Brings more so much memories when I was a 17 year old.

[@banksofbarcelona3893]

1989 a number another summer (get down) sound of a drama. Music hitting you hard cos you know I got soul. Sad that fight the power wasn't a hit in 1989! What I am? A Smooth criminal! We need to get back to life, back to reality! When I pump up the volume pump up jam no gold digger will win my love it's young Neneh's sweetness that I'm thinking of. As 1989 went just like a snap of Neneh's finger so will our blessings come. I think you should do something similar to what you did at the end for your future videos.

[@mrtelevision]

Just as in 1988, there were 2 weeks in 1989 with no new entries in the Top 10- February 4 and December 2.

[@MILUNGAO]

In 1989, 2 opposites worlds collided. On one side, there were some really great songs from great acts (Guns N' Roses, Def Leppard, White Lion, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Skid Row, Mötley Crüe, Poison, White Lion, Jeff Healey Band, Great White, The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, Roy Orbison, Tears For Fears, The Cure, Richard Marx, Roxette, Mike + The Mechanics, Phil Collins, Love And Rockets, The B-52's, Bad English, Prince, Cyndi Lauper, Cher, Fine Young Cannibals, Bette Midler, Doobie Brothers, Natalie Cole, The Bangles, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) and on the other side, there were some really godawful and very embarrassing stuff (Milli Vanilli, NKOTB, Madonna, Taylor Dayne, Donna Summers, Janet Jackson, Technotronic, Neneh Cherry, Bobby Brown) that anticipated the worst that was to come in the 90’s and 00’s. But despite some of these unbearable songs (for my ears), I keep some good memories from the 1989 year because there were still popular songs I enjoyed and a lot of great albums came out this year. And beyond these Top 10 songs, there were a lot of triumphant comebacks: The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, The Doobie Brothers, The B-52's (they're seen in this video), and also Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker, Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt. There were also debut albums from Garth Brooks and Lenny Kravitz. So, 1989 was finally a good year for me.

[@astrosonra6314]

Roxette were phenomenal!!! (They also peaked number 2 in 1989 with Dangerous)

[@trinaq]

Shame that Milli Vanilli were exposed so publicly during a live concert. They had so much promise, with Rob Pilatus dying from a drug overdose at only 32, though at least Fabrice Morvan is still performing on his own terms nowadays.

[@arturoromero951]

I felt mostly bad for them because they could have gotten more vocal training and other stuff done to help them gain a lot of potential, but instead Frank Farian had to get slimy and make them lip sync most of their material. They’re great dancers and their songs bop a lot, but they ended up following through a dirty industry tactic, robbed the New Artist Grammy, and when they got exposed their career was over. People are still gonna hate on them but I don’t think it was even their fault to begin with since their business wanted them to do that.

[@marinhusky8863]

I didn't buy alot of cassettes in those days, but I bought theirs and listened to it non-stop.

[@NOTHEOTHERGUY]

Cyndi Lauper's last top 10 on the American charts. Very sad!

You gotta respect the Milli Vinilli scam a little bit. They fooled the world. Best music scam since Boney M (2 of the 4 didn’t sing).

[@SzatanistaDzezowy]

Wait, really? Any more info on that with Boney M? I love some of their songs!

[@HughJorgan1]

@@SzatanistaDzezowy Bobby Farrel (RIP) only lip synced the words on songs like Rasputin and Ma Baker. He was great dancer and showman but couldn’t sing. Same goes for one of the women, Maizee Williams, who only mimed along with songs. All of Boney M’s songs were sung by Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, and the male vocals on certain songs (such as Rasputin and Ma Baker) were by Frank Farian himself, the writer and creator of the group.

[@aileenblas7669]

I still have that album. I don't care who really sang on it, I still love it.

[@ayanp353]

Damn, Paula Abdul dominated this year

[@erinnswan7063]

Millions Vanilli they need to start showing the real voices of this band instead of those fake lip syncers. They don't deserve younger people to think they actually sang these songs.

[@perseusjoppa426]

Rob and Fab are the ones the world fell in love with, their appearance, their moves, their fashion, their show, plus the great music made for them. When The Real Milli Vanilli came to light in early 1991 literally no one cared.

[@ravikiranshekhar1968]

Does 'peak' mean only till the end of da' year 1989,as i know a couple of songs in dis' list were no1 back in the day but here in the video it shows the peak position as #2 or #3 or even something ridiculously below that.

[@somerandomguy_music]

No, the peak position the song reached no matter in which year (in most cases 1989, in a few 1990).

Some ideas for more videos: an updated best-of of italo-disco (your previous video was missing big italo bands, like radiorama), and also, "classic hits of the 80s that didn't make it to the US top-10" (e..g. scorpions, early madonna singles like holiday, nick kamen, etc).
