Fairly KickAss Podcast - Billboard End-of-Year Reorder: 1981 Edition

What this episode covers

Ass-Kickers! We're rewinding back [counts on fingers and toes] [abandons fingers and toes and opens up calculator app instead] 44 years for one of our Billboard Rerank episodes! We're talking about the Billboard Year-End charts for the year 1981. It was a transitional year, as we moved away from the sounds that made up the 1970s - especially the latter half of the 1970s - and began to usher in what we would come to know and... love? about the 1980s. It's an interesting journey, and - as usually happens with these things - we all looked at it a little differently. That's what makes it fun though! It would be boring if we all had the same list, and there was a lot of variety on offer in this episode. So, as always, let us know: did we get it right? Did we miss with any of our picks - good OR bad - or were we all on-point? (Strike that last one from the record, it'll never happen.) Let us know in all the usual ways: Twitter: https://twitter.com/fairlykickassInstagram: https://instagram.com/fairlykickassTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fairlykickassThreads: https://www.threads.net/@fairlykickassNext week: we preview the biggest show of 'em all, at least in terms of US-based music awards shows. Get lost, AMAs. Until then, we hope that y'all Keep. Kicking. Ass.
