Next week perhaps I will show a comparison of the top 10 against what was in my top 10 when "Babooshka" by Kate Bush got to #1, to show how the chart in 1980 was so much better than that in 1990. (Essentially 1980 was better pretty much all the way down, and in May it was too).

In 1980, possibly, the US backlash against disco did not see an end to dance-orientated songs in the chart (e.g. Funkytown was still a massive hit), but there was a lot more rock-orientated music too. At present, the US chart is mostly R&B, a lot of it slushy stuff by boybands, or hip-hop based music. Essentially little really in the way of contribution. The UK has some rock like Thunder and the Little Angels but even those I don't find particularly exciting. Madchester is what I really remember 1990 for, but that's only a handful of songs.
