Comment:

The '80s brought a new layer of polish to the pop spectacle. More color, more energy, and a new level of sincerity coupled with a new definition of outrageousness. iTunes takes a look back at the decade in pop - through new eyes. Below you'll find 80 '80s pop hits, as covered by a (mostly) new generation of fans. Some were barely walking at the time (Britney Spears, *NSYNC) and some were major players in the game (Rick Springfield covering Mr. Mister? Phil Collins covers Cyndi Lauper? The mind boggles).
