No. 20: Strangelove

If you went to clubs in 1987 or 1988, chances are good you heard this song dozens of times. Top 10 in other countries, it only reached No. 50 in the US -- but it was the band's first of 9 No. 1's on the dance chart.

No. One of his best-selling but Iโ€™d say Changes, Suffragette, Space Oddity, maybe Young American โ€ฆ.

No. 21: Let's Dance

David Bowie's 1983 song (featuring Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar and Nile Rodgers on rhythm guitar) reached No. 1 in 14 countries, including the US and UK, and No. 2 in six others. That's some serious moonlight.

You donโ€™t see The Ocean Blue on Bluesky (or anywhere) often. They are on tour so hope to see them in December. This is a beautiful song, though my favorite is โ€œVanity Fair.โ€

No. 23: Call Me

Debbie Harry and Giorgio Morodor wrote this massive hit, which stayed at No. 1 in America for six weeks in 1980. Also went to No. 1 in the UK and Canada.

No. 23: The Look of Love

"Sisters and brothers
should help each other"

This 1982 classic by ABC made it to No. 1 in Canada, No. 4 in the UK. While it topped the American dance chart, it only reached No. 18 on the Hot 100.

No. 24: The Edge of Heaven

La-da-da-da-da-da ...

This No. 1 hit in Europe (No. 10 in the US) was Wham!'s final single and it is the definition of '80s pop music. Miss you, George. We'll see you in the #90sTop30.

Yes! I grew up in Northeast Ohio ... my brother is in Lakewood, dad is in Warren. I consider Cleveland to be home.

Suede's 'Sci-Fi Lullabies' was released #OnThisDay in 1997.

A collection of B-Sides that come in at just over 2 hours of glam and alternative rock, the power and quality of which puts the greatest hits of many contemporaries to shame.
