About BlackLight Radio
Where the 80s live — all day, every day.
BlackLight Radio is an internet-only radio station, streaming in stereo 24/7 from Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA — for over 15 years and counting.
What We Play
Our library is made up exclusively of music recorded, released, or having charted during the 1980s. We started with the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles from 1980 through 1989 — over 1,000 tracks — ensuring you never hear the same song twice in a 36-hour period.
We've since expanded our rotation to include:
- Deep album cuts
- Concert recordings & parodies
- B-sides, rarities & unreleased gems
- Soundtrack favorites, novelty songs, and genre crossovers
Our programming celebrates all genres that hit the 1980s mainstream — from pop rock to metal, rap to country, Broadway to bubblegum. If it charted in the 80s, it belongs on BlackLight.
Who Curates It?
Our Music Advisory Board is made up of over a dozen 80s superfans. Every week, they review new submissions and vote on adds, drops, and tweaks to keep the playlist fresh and nostalgic.
Our Philosophy
We call it “All of the 80s, All of the Time.” We sound like the best 80s FM station you’ve never had — but always wanted. Curated by superfans, and static-free worldwide. Every song is part of a meticulously built experience — designed to reconnect you with a decade loved across generations.
