About us
Love 1980s music? You've found your people.
80s Music Connection is a virtual Zoom meetup for fans who enjoy going a little deeper into the music of the decade: from huge Top 40 hits to forgotten favorites, one-hit wonders, chart history, MTV, radio culture, and songs that deserve another listen.
Each meetup explores a different theme. We listen to music together, share some of the stories and chart history behind the songs, mix in trivia and conversation, and leave room for member requests and favorites.
Recent and upcoming themes include individual years and music charts, cover songs, people and places in song titles, forgotten hits, and other corners of 80s music.
New to the group? You're welcome to simply listen. Cameras are optional, and there's no pressure to speak or request a song. This isn't karaoke; it's a relaxed place to listen, discover, reminisce, and talk about great music with other 80s fans.
Whether your tastes run toward pop, rock, new wave, dance, R&B, adult contemporary, or the songs that rarely make today's 80s playlists, you're welcome here.
Join us for an upcoming Zoom meetup and see what we're listening to next.
We also maintain a free companion website, 80s Music Chart Challenge, featuring a daily 7-question 1980s music trivia quiz, public quiz archives, themed trivia collections, and printable trivia resources. The daily quiz is free and no signup is required.

Join us on Zoom as we turn the clock back to 1986 and explore one music chart from the year, song by song.
We'll listen to selections from across the chart: from the biggest hits near the top to songs further down that may have been forgotten, overlooked, or become more familiar in the years since.Along the way, we'll look at what was climbing, what was falling, which songs were at their peaks, and some of the chart history and stories behind the music. Expect a mix of familiar favorites, forgotten songs, and a few surprises.
There will also be trivia, conversation, and opportunities to share your own 1986 favorites and requests.
New to the group? You're welcome to simply listen. Cameras are optional, and there's no pressure to speak or request a song.
