Die 80er: Ein digitales Denkmal.

"Wir haben Spotify seziert: Das ist die unsterbliche Top 300 der 80er."

Wie alles begann

Aus reiner Nostalgie und Neugier geboren: Wir wollten wissen, welche 80er-Songs heute noch die Tanzflächen (und Kopfhörer) erobern.

Nicht alle 80er-Jahre-Songs sind gut gealtert. Erinnerst Du dich an "Looking for Freedom" von David Hasselhof? In Deutschland und der Schweiz war der Song wochenlang auf Platz 1. Heute? Naja, sagen wir mal so: Man hört ihn eher selten... und das ist vielleicht auch gut so.

Wir haben uns durch Hunderte von Spotify-Playlists gewühlt, um die wahren Überlebenden zu finden: Unsere Top300! Neben den üblichen Verdächtigen wie "Take on Me" oder "Sweet Dreams" sind wir auf ein paar echte Juwelen gestoßen.
