Time
to put the year 1989 on display and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the year
that was closing the 80s decade. Known as the year of revolutions that
swept through the eastern block countries in Europe as well as the year
of innovations which brought the first commercial internet services.
Musically the charts were still dominated by Stock-Aitken-Waterman hits
also introducing Donna Summer to their hits factory.
The
second half of 1989 was also dominated by a growing House music
genre led by Inner City and S'Express and Italo-disco which evolved into Euro dance.
Even though the 1989 chronologically belonged to the 80s decade, it
clearly sensed the 90s spirit in all terms and the music styles that
started in late 90s eventually reached their peak points in the 90s
and beyond.
