As #totp are doing 1986 right now, a friendly nudge in the direction of my book, #IntoTheGroove, in which I have attempted to cover every single musical base of the 1980s. Month by month.

Traditional Friday reminder of my book #IntoTheGroove, a chronological travelogue through the pop and surrounding events of the 1980s, including just about every genre you can think of. These people enjoyed it! Maybe you will too! Reposts welcome.

Incidentally, one of the off-cuts from #IntoTheGroove: part of why Seven Tears by the Goombay Dance Band came out in the UK when it did (Jan 1982) is someone from their record company commented on how much it sounded a bit like Auld Lang Syne. I had a word-count limit, okay.

Hey Wannabes, what a month. No news on CoaDF2, but Madonna’s Into the Groove is back on the UK charts 40 years later thanks to TikToker Gymskin. The power of TikTok + the Queen 👑

When I was putting together the 300-track #IntoTheGroove playlist, This Ole House was so close to being included, but it just didn't fit into the running order when push came to shove. It's a great single. #totp

There are a lot of ‘facts’ in #IntoTheGroove but they’re arranged very carefully. They all propel the story of the 80s forward. If you’ve not yet taken the plunge… maybe a long weekend (for many of us) is the ideal time to dive in.

Annie Nightingale was born OTD in 1940. My book #IntoTheGroove is partly dedicated to her work in broadcasting and when she died I put together a playlist of just some of the music I first heard on her request show. www.tunemymusic.com/share/N4UNN2...

Thank you again to everyone who’s bought a copy of #IntoTheGroove so far because it did well enough in the run up to Christmas to earn me a sliver of royalties. So sincere cheers for that. X

Forty years ago this weekend, (yes, forty not sixty - 29 Mar 1986), the first official Beatles releases in what was then the Soviet Union, specifically 'most' of A Hard Day's Night, but also a compilation called A Taste of Honey. Find out more in #IntoTheGroove.

The image shows a stylish, carefully arranged vinyl listening setup with a strong mid-1980s pop aesthetic. On the left, a silver Technics turntable sits atop a black shelving unit. Its transparent dust cover is lifted, and a black vinyl record with a bright yellow center label is spinning. The tonearm is lowered onto the record, indicating that music is currently playing. Behind the turntable, small decorative elements—like miniature guitars—add a personal, music-centric touch. On the right, a vinyl sleeve is prominently displayed: Into the Groove. The cover features Madonna alongside Rosanna Arquette, both dressed in black and posed back-to-back in a classic 80s style. The bold vertical “MADONNA” text runs along the right edge of the sleeve. Their inclusion reflects the song’s connection to the film Desperately Seeking Susan, tying music and cinema together in the display. Beneath the album, a compact audio unit features a vibrant LED equalizer panel. Multicolored bars—pinks, blues, greens, and yellows—form a dynamic pattern, suggesting the music from the turntable is actively being visualized. The entire setup rests on a black cabinet with vinyl records stored neatly below in vertical slots, their spines visible. The scene feels curated and intentional—blending audio gear, visual flair, and a clear appreciation for both vinyl collecting and 80s pop culture.
Day 27: A song by a solo artist that used to be in a band. Madonna played drums for the Breakfast Club and then fronted Emmy & The Emmys before becoming a pop superstar.

Got a review recently which 'accused' me of writing a book 'about the British charts, but in American', which I would strongly contest on both counts. Regardless, there is a vast amount in #IntoTheGroove of interest to N American readers. And it's out in July.

Seeing yet another 'what's your song from hell?' question doing the rounds, and I've been in the privileged position of talking about *five* of mine. Because I guested on the @hellishpod.com podcast last autumn. #Hellish (*And* we talked about #IntoTheGroove!) shows.acast.com/hellish/epis...
