We now come to #1 and for all songs released in 1981, there could only be one top song. It has never lost its popularity over the years, the meaning of its lyrics are still debated to this day, and it contains one of if not the most famous drum riffs in all of pop/rock music – the kind that will make you stop whatever you’re doing when it comes up and air drum it. The #1 song that turns 40 years old this year is In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins.
