[@somerandomguy_music]

Thank you so much for this fantastic video, 1984 was one of the best years in music ever!

[@patrickmeisinger825]

Wie immer tolle Arbeit! Erinnerungen an damals werden wach und man kann bei fast jedem Song aus dem Stegreif mitsingen!

[@marklineham2533]

Excellent, Francis!! We have been waiting for this and really hope you will continue with many more years of German charts - this is such great stuff and brings back great memories on our youth!! Merci beaucoup!!!!

[@cid39rk]

A very nice musical review by German Charts from 1984. Thank you!

[@rolandvoellmer5679]

How much gems we forgot....! Thanks for relieving them.

[@exil-hesseimwestfalischena3120]

Großartig, einmal mehr!

[@dietmarthies4261]

Eagerly waiting for this one, thanks again so much, Francis! For me, 1984 is the year I've got the best memories of! Dance school, new friends, first (unlucky) love etc. I forgot about the three versions of "Kalimba de Luna", all published within a few weeks (I wonder, which band inspired the namegiving of "Pepe goes to Cuba" ... ). And I was absolutely sure, that "Smooth Operator" was a number one hit! Sometimes, memory is delusive!

[@MrRoztoc]

1984 - to me the best year in music ever! A year full of smashs. New artists came to rise as Cyndi Lauper, Alphaville, FGTH, Talk Talk, Nik Kershaw or Howard Jones. Some had their greatest hit song that year: Laura Branigan, Limahl, Duran Duran, Kenny Loggins, Van Halen or Stevie Wonder. Giants like Queen, Slade or Tina Turner have had one of their biggest years ever. Many, I mean really many of 1984 songs are well known classic hits now. Think about "Do they know it's Christmas", "Last Christmas", "One Night in Bangkok", "Shout" or "Wild Boys".

[@nightcoremagic2373]

this songs will turn 40 years, glad to hear the throwback 80s hits!

[@ritaymbernon5397]

Muy buen año! Thanks so much for fantastics songs!👌🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶⭐🪄

[@wesleyvalk9129]

OMG, this was my favorite year by far, but the rest of the 80ties was also very very good, can't wait for more!! these are my favorite video's, hope you continue this German list until 2000, then move on to the dutch charts!!

[@berkcan5602]

Merci, Francis! You madem another amazing video of German chart. 1984 is one of my favourite years of Music. More beter than 1983. Year full of hits. The following years 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 is also great hit years! My favourite songs on this video is: Relax, Big in Japan, People are People, Self Control, Sounds like a melody, Time after Time, 25 Lovers, Such a shame, High energy, Careless whispers, When the Rain begins to fall, The second time, Private dancer and The wild Boys. ✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@othini]

Amazing. Thanks for the upload. 1984, the year everything ( including hard rock) sounded synth poppish. 1984 is the year i bought my first album, Forever Young / Alphaville. That leads me to the surprise that Forever Young ( the single) never went to number one in Germany? Holy. Nevermind that, it did actually not go to number in many other countries as well. The song is a classic either way, clearly a symbol for the 80s melancholy romantic pop sound.

[@TheArrow1987]

well at least Big In Japan was #1, Sounds Like A Melody #3 and Forever Young #4. Not many bands / artists had 3 top 5 hits in germany in 1984!

[@MichaelSpengler]

@@TheArrow1987 besides.. many preffered buying the LP to the single anyway.. this is whx Thriller as a song peaked at 21 in germany..

[@juangelfernandez1131]

GREAT 👍 RECOPILATION! THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@PileOfEmptyTapes]

So many hits. This may be as good as 1986.

[@paultreadaway102]

Another nice list that could go on endless with the amounts of research top notch again Francis this is just endless class can't be touch forever to be part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s.Who wouldn't want abit of Nena she's so hot and beauty German Chick that 99 Luftballoons captured the World in German or English we had it both.This Country we have a show What Now started in 1981 we all kids got captured by the theme that came along we got up to watch it and Matt Bianco Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed pretty catchy like all themes to TV Programmes all over the World and those eras Soaps and Shows and Cartoons with all legend stuff

[@danny6092]

I found that really interesting, a lot of the songs that were big top 10 hits in the UK, peaked a lot lower in Germany, and vice versa. Lots of brilliant songs. compared to the crap of 2022 !.

[@ToyTiger666]

Fantastique! 😉

[@javiiwilliams851]

Excellent 80's tracks!!! Thanks for the video!!!! Great job!!!!!

[@tatjanakiel7194]

Ein geiles Jahr 🙃

[@PlutoPebble]

Thank you this will be an inspiration along with Some Random Guy to do my own video on the 80s

[@ToyTiger666]

Fun fact: Roger Whittaker does not actually know German but he sings it as if he could!

[@Andy-From-England]

Nice one brought back memories I get mixed up with Paul Young Howard Jones and Nick Kershow still do same type of music

[@Igel_und_Maulwurf]

Danke für diese geile Zusammenstellung...youre the best 🙂

[@robmclean4352]

As an American, it fascinates me that nearly all of the German hits were sung in English!

So many "lost Tracks" i found here! Thanks from a new Subscriber!😃

Danke für die Mühe

[@zeproo]

Amazing amazing amazing.Thank you, really some crazy gems found in here !! Roberto blanco the clap clap sound gosh, i remember all those pirate stations here in belgium using that tune. More of these instrumental tunes please !! subscribed

[@uztre6789]

Kinda shocked when I realised that Like a Virgin, Last Christmas and Do They Know It's Christmas all entered on the same day. I would've bet money on all three being #1 hits.

[@Glamking1]

Last Christmas finally reached number one at the end of 2021 in Germany, as for Like a Virgin it topped the chart in its native United States and Australia which gave Madonna her first chart-topper and for the thought too, her first German chart-topper had to wait until 1987.

[@jasonjones8178]

The best is 1984

[@ScoobyToursXL]

So viele tolle Songs aus dem Jahr. Ich kenne so viele als ich 11 Jahre war. 😃❤👍 Leider auch die Schlager, die mein Vater gerne gehört hat. 🤮

[@Voyagemen]

Great selection of songs! I am also the creator of the fan club of the French singer 80s DESIRELESS.

[@MILUNGAO]

Pour sûr, l'année 1984 était beaucoup, mais alors beaucoup plus fun que 2022. Et pour s'évader, oublier les problèmes quotidiens (surtout en ce moment; il n'y a rien de mieux que les chansons des années 70-80 (chacun a ses préférences; pour ma part, j'opte pour Huey Lewis & The News, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Idol, Van Halen, Slade, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Sade, Bonnie Tyler, Shakin' Stevens, Nik Kershaw, Stevie Wonder). A noter que parmi les extraits présents, il y a des chansons en faveur de la paix (ce petit détail ne m'a pas echappé 🙂).

[@jesperv.nielsen6090]

Great list again. I think there is a mix-up at 23:17. This song (from 1983) is Another Word, not World (album The Party's over). The extra "L" might confuse one or two due to Living in Another World from 1986 (The Colour of Spring).

[@karlranseier1961]

Great Job. Thanks

[@some.random.baldie2111]

My birth year! (November baby here) Thank you for another great video. Amazing 'Thriller' wasn't a hit there - guess everyone had the album. The year of Madonna's emergence and well rewarded too. Schlager and NDW still around with the latter established in the charts now. Italo starting to make it's presence known now and taking off. Shocked 'Its A Miracle' wasn't a hit there! Their Eurovision entry 'Aufrecht gehn' which deserved more in the contest didn't do well either. Shame really as it's a touching heartfelt ballad. The god awful ESC winner 'Diggi-loo' made the chart. No thanks. Too high. 'Its Raining Men' a flop!! Big here in the UK. Some evergreens here and big hitters which are still known as well as the local hits. Laura Branigan's version of 'Self Control' is better than the RAF one I feel. Noticing the duplicate covers are still about too albeit not as prominent as the previous years. 1984 best year for music and the Germans having taste. Still want to know or rather not know what 'Slice Me Nice' was about lol oh and Eartha Kitt loves the men lol (same here only if they're nice men not horrible).

[@mikekaraoke]

Thriller wasn't a hit in Germany, you def read wrong pal it got to number 21-very confused-didnt get to number 42 lol Now P.Y.T. Wasn't a hit a single there only getting to number 51! Yea It's Raining Men was a flop shame really-but least it was a hit/very big hit single in other countries!

[@some.random.baldie2111]

@@mikekaraoke 21 is respectable, but compare it to UK (10), US (4) and France and Spain (1 in both) it's a flop compared to those countries. It's subjective what you would call a hit but that's is bad compared to some. It's weird how a song is known worldwide, but can not be a hit domestically in a country. Interestingly, the UK was where the Weather Girls had their best place - 2nd!

[@andimusicjunkie3990]

But It's raining men is still a banger at every German party and Aufrecht geh'n is immortal. Sometimes the chart ranking isn't everything. 😉

[@some.random.baldie2111]

@@andimusicjunkie3990 That's so true. Looking at the videos on this channel, there are many excellent songs that have never made the top of the charts and became popular in their own right. There are many songs that have made it to the summit and been forgotten.....

[@Peter1999Videos]

Wow 3 differents "Kalimba de Luna" in my country the official always was with Tony Esposito

[@Goddybag4Lee]

Männer! ❤❤❤

[@oooooo-ji2nn]

23:16 The Song is called "Another Word"

[@danmccarthy4700]

I've been watching a lot of these German chart videos and have noticed that very few German-language songs end up charting in their top 10.

[@roygoodhand1301]

14:55 is that a German language version of Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't it be Good"? If so, that would be much like how in 1993 Ricky Martin recorded a song in Spanish whose English title translates to "What Day Is It?" that is basically a Spanish language version of "Self Control"...

[@80ssynthfan48]

It has to be. Can't be a coincidence.

[@EFXVoila]

Yes, she just sings a different song/lyrics but based on the melody.

[@wesleyvalk9129]

Also, wtf, I always thought Herman van Veen's Hilversum III was an original song, but it seems it was stolen from Haindling - Langscho nimmer g'sehn...

[@rjjcms1]

The big WTF on this for me is I've heard of coals to Newcastle,but pigs to Beirut?

[@paleksander5192]

A year like no other and this hit parade is just beyond words, so as the passion of Francis......7:28 - this is not the same Paul Young as in 28:13, can someone confirm it for me please?.... 11:53 - now that's what I call crossover :)......13:11 and 13:30 - they debuted at the same time, what a pity they didn't replace themselves at the top spot!

[@rjjcms1]

Yes,it IS the same Paul Young. There was another Paul Young around at the same time,singer with Sad Cafe and Mike & the Mechanics who passed away some years ago. Hence the confusion.

[@MegaMaxiepad]

It's funny how Relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood, with that video that takes place in a gay BDSM club, was such a huge hit in Britain and, of course, Germany.

[@miserablemozz8714]

Roger Whittaker singing in German? That made me do a double take.

[@Normann.Hillesheim]

He had some German hits in the early 80s (he could sing the language only phonetically), which were most successful amongst the older generation, while young Germans hated that kind of cheesy schmaltz. ;-)

[@cartoonfan959]

Francis you plan some "Volume 2" from the 90s ? stuff like Voices of the beehive, Stretch Princess etc

[@serienundfilm-freak8091]

How could John Lennon have a hit in 1984 when he had been gone since 1980?

[@DrewKent]

It's Julian Lennon his son!

[@paultreadaway102]

No he had 2late singles that got released in 84 that's why it charted it does happy to legends who pass that unrelased works come out.Nobody Told Me and Borrowed Time which are superb that's why he's one half of the greatest songwriter in history

[@paultreadaway102]

That is his Son whose first solo album started in 84 with a couple of hits Valotte and this Too Late For Goodbyes

[@ingobund730]

At Pure Lust am Leben i wasn`t 🏠 in GER. But i don`t feel sorry 4 that. Have just discovered that now!!! (Only knew Geier Sturzflug`s Bruttosozialprodukt.) Nowadays it`s a fckn' Ballermann song.....And i hate Ballermann songs!!! Those stupid things, u can only listen 2 it if u`re drunk!! NeVeR been 2 that isle yet. 2 "our" 17th "Bundesland".

SUZANNE = SUSANNAH

[@wesleyvalk9129]

No, this was the Dutch version, it is called Suzanne here in the Netherlands, they released a totally different version for English language, much like Nena did with her 99 luftballons and Peter Schilling with his Major Tom, in the Netherlands and Germany we had the original versions.

[@robertanthonyfairweather3416]

@@wesleyvalk9129 I didn't say it was German, did I?

[@robertanthonyfairweather3416]

No, I was talking about the musical rhythm, that I remember hearing in Modern Art - Susannah (or was it Susanna?)
