It just happened to sound like everything else on the radio that year. Donny Osmond returned in a big way in 1989 and took this song to #2. You'll find a 12" remix of this song on Spotify, but that doesn't count in my book. From the soundtrack of the film Running Scared, it also peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. I can only imagine that this #7-peaking atrocity is unavailable on Spotify because Paul McCartney insists on it.Īnd suddenly, we're into the realm of, "Hey, what gives?" This song has never appeared on Spotify. Now we're into the range of songs you may remember but probably wish you didn't. You could be forgiven for assuming this was a cut from the True Blue album instead, it was Regina's one play for stardom, and after it peaked at #10, she was never heard from again. In 1986, everyone wanted to be Madonna, and Regina is probably the most obvious one. Sa-Fire fell into that category of dance artists who recorded one ballad and got significant radio play out of it.
I think you have to be exactly my age to remember this #12-peaking hit from the spring of 1989. And it was the summer that my little brother, at the age of 9, became the best breakdancer in Rupert, Idaho. That was also the summer of the movie Breakin'. It was more like a way of capitalizing on an existing trend. The song I'm actually talking about peaked at #77 in the spring of 1986, then came back from the dead in 1989 to make it all the way to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.ĭespite the title, I can't imagine this was really one of the top tunes to breakdance to in 1984. You will find a song on Spotify called "Where Are You Now" by Synch. #10 - JIMMY HARNEN & SYNCH - Where Are You Now? UPDATE: Thanks to the help of some other very attentive fans, I have had to correct some errors in this post! Here's the updated list. Then we'll take note of a few other significant songs that are currently unavailable.
We'll count down the 10 biggest pop hits of the 1980s that are not on Spotify. And as always, I have to say that I'm impressed that Spotify's list is so complete. It looks like the folks at Spotify have been busy, too.įor that reason, I've decided to update my list one decade at a time. I've been busy lately, as all sorts of really deep cuts have been appearing. So I'm constantly checking to see if previously unavailable songs have shown up. My Pop Music Anthology is a website created to link you to all the most important pop songs in history. It's very hard to stay on top of all this. Certain classic songs come and go from Spotify with no clear explanation.
New compilations of old songs are released, and others are removed from availability. The thing is, though - and only really hardcore users notice this - what's available on Spotify changes constantly. A couple years ago I blogged about the biggest hits of all time that are not available on Spotify.
