December Singles Round Up

Best of 1982 - The Singles List

After having been propelled further by the New Romantic movement and becoming much easier to handle, Synthesizers became dominant in pop music and a possible formula for future success. The Human League were still ruling the charts and won the BRIT Award for the best Breakthrough act. Following their success story other bands like Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Soft Cell adopted synthesizers as main instruments which had an impact in launching of the Second British Invasion in the US. This  brought the new styles, rhythms and stars to the States including Duran Duran, The Human League, Eurythmics, Billy Idol and more. Sadly some of the great bands from late 70's and early 80's disbanded which included most notably Blondie, Adam and The Ants, Abba and Japan.

During our 30 year anniversary of 1982 in 2011, the following albums were voted Top 50 singles by Burning Flame friends and readers including in-house votes.

Updated: 06/2020


01. Yaz(oo)- Don't Go 
02. Tears for Fears- Mad World 
03. Heaven 17- Let Me Go 
04. Talk Talk- Talk Talk 
05. Yazoo- Situation 
06. Duran Duran- Rio 
07. Tears for Fears- Pale Shelter 
08. Eurythmics- Love is a Stranger
09. A Flock of Seagulls- I Ran (So Far Away) 
10. Japan- Ghosts

Next Wave: Easter

Berlin based Easter is our new hip. Consisting of Max Boss and Stine Omar Midtsæter, the duo was formed few years ago after Max and Stine decided to make music together. Easter music is where cold and hypnotic electro beats meet with chic cheapness. Last year, they released their debut album on Ramin Ton and this year we are just days away from their second release. It's due out on December 20th. Stick around for this record, it might be your last one.
