1984 at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
There's more musical time-travelling through the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s archives with this trip back to 1984, with hits such as Wham!'s Freedom, U2's Pride, Madonna's Like a Virgin and Lionel Richie's Hello.
There's more musical time-travelling through the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s archives with this trip back to 1984 which proves that, unlike Orwell’s predictions, this was a truly great year.
Wham! were offering the prospect of Freedom, Frankie were encouraging everyone to Relax, U2 filled us all with Pride, and Phil Collins was battling Against All Odds. And that was just the UK’s biggest chart stars - when it came to American acts, Stevie just called to say he loved us, Madonna was still Like a Virgin and Lionel Richie just offered a simple Hello.
All were huge hits then, and they - and many more - remain some of the best-loved and most familiar songs.
