1985
The 1985 Trackslistan chart was filled with a mix of rock from acts like Bryan Adams and Foreigner, alongside the infectious sounds of European synth-pop and Euro-disco from artists such as Modern Talking and Sandra. The undeniable presence of global pop icons like Madonna was felt throughout the year, with four of her songs making the year-end list.

For the years 1985-1989, the Trackslistan charts were compiled through a weekly voting system. Listeners would send in postcards with their votes, giving the audience a democratic voice. The year-end chart was based on a song’s cumulative performance and placement on these weekly lists throughout the year.
