100% Années 80

The French station 100% Années 80 makes its focus clear from the name alone: it plays pop from the 1980s, with no detours into other decades. Listeners hear synthesizer sounds, catchy choruses and big pop ballads that defined the decade.

The programme features tracks that capture the spirit of the eighties: danceable dance-pop numbers with pulsing bass lines, playful new wave influences and songs in which guitar riffs and drums really drive things forward. French-language pieces from the era also form part of the obvious repertoire.

For listeners who want to revive memories of youth, disco nights and mixtapes, the station is a clear choice. The focus is clearly on the music and on a decade whose influence in France and internationally continues to this day.
