🇬🇧United Kingdom · 1980 Year-End Top 10

1980

New wave and post-punk flowered in the UK, with The Police and Dexy's Midnight Runners transforming British music. ABBA and disco-influenced pop lingered, while the M*A*S*H theme became an unlikely number one. John Lennon's assassination cast a shadow over year's end.
