Thank you @tansleyjames.bsky.social for the #80sTop30 ... loved seeing everyone's picks. Based on everyone's picks, I'm going to predict two Bowie and two Tears for Fears in the Bluesky Top30 ... we shall see.

No. 1: Never Let Me Down Again

My favorite song by Depeche Mode was released on my 18th birthday in 1987. At first I didn’t know what to make of the layers of sounds — but I had to keep listening. And I have never stopped “taking a ride…”

No. 2: The Sun Always Shines on TV

My favorite by a-ha. After I heard it, I bought "Hunting High and Low," and I've been a mega-fan of the band ever since. A No. 1 hit in the UK and Ireland, it made it to the top 10 in 12 other countries.

No. 3: New Years Day

One of my favorites by U2, this went Top 10 in Ireland, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands. Wiki says the bassline stemmed from Adam Clayton trying to figure out the chords to Visage's Fade to Grey during a soundcheck.

No. 4: When Doves Cry

My favorite by Prince reached No. 1 in the US and Canada. Rolling Stone ranks this No. 37 on its Greatest Songs of All Time list. I first heard it when I was 14 during lunch at school. You just knew it was special.

João Fonseca’s reaction after beating Davidovich Fokina in the Basel final to win the biggest title of his life.

Big celebration from his family.

He kneels and puts his head on the court.

Beautiful, historic scenes.

João Fonseca after beating Davidovich Fokina in the Basel final

“To my family, I’m gonna talk but I can’t look at you. 🥹 They believed in me since I was a kid. It’s a pleasure to be your kid.“

“I watched on tv Roger playing this tournament since I was young and winning like 10 times.“

João Fonseca with his Basel trophy.

To win the biggest title of his career in the place where he watched his idol Roger Federer lift this same trophy so many times.

What a moment.

What a player.

What a future. 🇧🇷🏆🥹

No. 5: Billie Jean

Signature Michael Jackson song hit No. 1 in 11 countries. Video by Steve Barron (who did Take On Me by a-ha). Here's the Motown 25 performance, which helped send the song and the "Thriller" album into the stratosphere.

No. 6: Holiday

Have to have Madonna in the Top 10, and this has always been a favorite. Curtis Hudson and Lisa Stevens-Crowder of Pure Energy wrote it, and it was produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez.

Let love shine...
