Every night, the clock rolls back.


The Night Shift with Ryan Lee is a late-night time machine to the 1980s--built around real Billboard chart data, real moments, and the music that defined a generation. Each episode drops you into a specific week from the decade, told in present tense, as if it's all happening right now.


No nostalgia filters. No looking back. Just the charts, the culture, and the sounds of the greatest era in music history--exactly as they were lived.


Best experienced at night. Earbuds in. Lights low.

    It’s Thursday night, May 29th, 1986.


    Top Gun is still packing theaters. Cobra just opened big. “Danger Zone” is starting to climb. And somehow, Genesis is taking over the radio through Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and Mike + The Mechanics.


    Tonight on The Night Shift, Ryan Lee takes you back to the Top 10 songs of the week — with Whitney Houston, Madonna, Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald, OMD, Nu Shooz, Journey, Janet Jackson, Mr. Mister, Level 42, and more.


    It’s part countdown, part time machine, and part late-night hangout for anyone who still remembers what it felt like when the radio, the mall, MTV, and the movies all seemed to matter at the same time.


    Turn the lights down.


    Turn the volume up.
