Where To Watch
Do you remember who sang the biggest hits of 1980?
Are you "Magic" or will "Another One Bite the Dust"?
There may be 52 weeks in a year, but only fifteen songs made it to No. 1 on the Billboard chart in 1980. The list included monsters of classic rock, iconic divas, disco holdovers, and some one-or-two-hit wonders.
Below, we've gathered every song that topped the pop charts in 1980. They are listed in chronological order, too, from January to December.
You've heard them countless times — on television, in elevators, shopping in grocery stores. So, who sang them?
-
This disco band had the first No. 1 hit of 1980 with "Please Don't Go."
-
"Rock with You" would hardly be his last No. hit of the Eighties.

-
This body-part band was a one-hit wonder with "Funkytown."

15/15... not bad considering I was only 10 in 1980
You got 15 out of 15
Talk about "Magic"! You really know your stuff!
If it's from the 70s on up, then you're damned right I know my stuff. Too bad there was so few Rock songs here. The John Lennon was borderline rock and only counts because he was a former Beatle.

15/15 Though the soft rock ballads are ones I wish I could forget
Only the last one was what could be considered "soft rock".

Hi, my name is Connie, and I've just did a quiz, from MeTv.com. The object of this quiz, is to guess who sang the number one hits of 1980. I got 13 out of 15 correct. You see, the 80's, was my era, for music and movies. This decade, was my high school and college era. I had a lot of favorite singers, from the 80's. They were (and still are): Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi and his band, The B52's, Rod Stewart, Lionel Ritchie (minus The Commadors), Bette Midler, The Go-Go's, with Belinda Carlisle, Blondie (with Debra Harry), New Edition (featuring Bobby Brown), New Kids On The Block, N'Sync (featuring Justin Timberlake, and Joey Fatone), 80's KISS, Debbie Gibson, WHAM, Culture Club (featuring Boy George), Donnie Walberg (brother of actor, Mark Walberg), just to name a few. Let me know, on my Facebook page, which is entitled, "Connie Silano", how well you all did, on this quiz. I'd love to hear feedback, on this quiz. Everyone take care, and may God bless you all. Goodbye for now.
