29 yrs ago today we lost Jermaine Stewart (1957–1997). Soul Train dancer turned 1986 hitmaker with “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off.” Gone at 39 from AIDS-related liver cancer. RIP, legend. đŸŽ¶đŸ•ș #80smusic

Journey perfected the balance between big emotion and mass appeal, writing songs that worked just as well on a car radio as they did in a sold-out arena, which is why their music never really went away.

The Goonies worked because it felt like the kind of wild adventure every kid swore they’d stumble into one day
 booby traps, treasure maps, secret tunnels
 and somehow it still hits that same nerve today. It’s one of the rare 80s movies that never stopped feeling fun.

Miami Vice didn’t just use 80s music
 it shaped the entire mood of the decade, with neon nights, brooding synths, and stories that hit harder because the soundtrack knew when to breathe, a reminder that sometimes a TV show becomes the era it lives in.

New Year’s Eve on Wave 80 is officially a tradition now. The sixth annual all-request 80s show runs 7 PM–3 AM Eastern, counting it down every hour for every time zone. Same regulars, same decade, same chaos. Stream it at wave80hits.com.

Nov 28, 1987: USA lost its mind & let cheesy, sweater-vest-humping “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” hit #1 for 2 weeks. Swayze’s ghost raw-dogged the charts while the world snorted better tunes. Congrats, Reagan’s America
 your taste peaked between coke & shoulder pads.

1980, Sound Affects, The Jam’s fifth kick in the nuts to the music industry. Flopped harder than a drunk uncle at a wedding in America, limping to a pathetic #72 on Billboard, while back home in the UK it shot straight to #2 because Brits still had functioning eardrums and taste.

1982 – Lionel Richie drops “Truly,” that diabetic-coma love ballad, and somehow this syrupy slow-dance bait claws its way to #1 in America for two goddamn weeks. Yeah, from November 27 to December 10 the entire country decided blue-balls wedding music was peak culture. Shoot me.

1981 – “Don’t You Want Me” by The Human League The synth-pop stalker anthem that cockblocked the entire planet, parked its neon ass at #1 in America for three straight weeks like it owned the place, then went full colonial tour: Basically everywhere except your ex’s heart.

Nov 27: Soft Cell drops debut “Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret”. Pure 80s sleaze. US peaked #22 (too busy w/ hairspray), UK #5. Incl. “Tainted Love” – turned 1981 bedrooms into synth-pop orgies. RIP virginity.

đŸš€ Let’s cruise back to the pastel‑suit era of Miami Vice — which aired its Season 3 episode “Baby Blues” on Nov 21, 1986. Sunglasses, speedboats and synths — that’s your Friday night.

🎧 On this day in 1984, Michael Jackson got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — yep, 6927 Hollywood Blvd. Ceremony chaos included throngs of fans, minor injuries, fainting
 welcome to pop royalty. Cue the moonwalk memories.

🧐 Throwback Q of the Day: Which one 1980s album could you listen to on repeat and never skip a track? No pressure
 just your entire musical identity on the line.

🎾 Flashback: On Nov 20 1989 the glam‑metal juggernaut Mötley CrĂŒe dropped their single “Kickstart My Heart”. That’s right — you can safely accelerate your air‑guitar today. “Kickstart My Heart” still revs loud decades later.

The 80s weren’t afraid of strange ideas
 sometimes the biggest hits were the ones that made no sense on paper but felt perfect the second you heard them.
