**contains minor spoilers for The Crown season 4**
Season four of The Crown has finally arrived, with the 10-part series taking us back to the 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister and Princess Diana’s face was splashed across the front pages of every newspaper.
It’s not only the period costumes and hairstyles that transport viewers back to the 20th century, but also the music – from Billy Joel and Duran Duran, to Stevie Nicks and Ultravox.
While the main score of season four was composed by Martin Phipps, there are several classic ’80s hits that feature throughout the series, so if you’ve been trying to put your finger on the name of a particular song, we’ve listed all of them for you.

Who wrote the music for The Crown season 4?
The score for season four of The Crown was composed by Martin Phipps, who also wrote the music for season three.
