This week on Billboard Rewind, we’re landing in a chart moment that perfectly reflects its time — emotional songs, big hooks, and a mix of sounds that wouldn’t all end up sharing the same chart today. It’s a reminder of how broad and adventurous mainstream music once was. This week we rewind to week ending April 12, 1980
