Welcome to The 80's Pop Channel
Prepare to experience the great impression of all the terrific pop tunes from the 80s.

The 1980s genre in music is music created and performed in the 1980s. This music decade saw the emergence of teen pop, new wave and glam metal and it is perhaps best defined by the introduction of the synthesizer. The music of the 1980s continued the trends of the 1970s pop culture, just as the 2000s continued those of the 1990s. By 1980, the disco production of the 1970s, largely dependent on orchestras, is replaced by a lighter synthpop production. Duran Duran gains fame with their pop hit Girls on Film, which had a Godley & Creme-directed video, which was banned by MTV for it's s..ual nature. They continued throughout the 80s with a string of pop hits, including Planet Earth, Hungry Like the Wolf, The Reflex, and Rio. In the second half of the 1980s teen pop has its first wave. Bands and artists include New Kids on the Block, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Tommy Page, New Edition, Stacey Q, The Bangles, Madonna and others. Urban pop music acts of the 1980s include Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Deneice Williams. Artists such as Madonna, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, The Pet Shop Boys and Janet Jackson ruled the charts throughout the decade and achieved tremendous success worldwide. Their fame and commercial success lasts up to date. Michael Jackson released Thriller in 1982, which became the best selling album of all time.
