Time
to put the year 1989 on display and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the year
that was closing the 80's 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 the the growing House music
genre led by Inner City and S'Express and Italo disco which evolved into
Eurodance.
Even though the 1989 chronologically belonged to the 80's decade, it
clearly sensed the 90's spirit in all terms and the music styles that
started in late 90's eventually reached their peak points in the 90's
and beyond.
