Biography:
Buggles were a UK electro-pop band formed in 1977 consisting of Trevor Horn (bass guitar, guitar, percussion, and vocals), Geoff Downes (percussion and keyboards).
Buggles' sound was characterised by a deliberately synthetic quality in keeping with the technological subject matter of their songs.
Buggles had a smash hit with the first single from their debut album, The Age of Plastic. Video Killed The Radio star was famously the 1st music video ever played on MTV (on August 1, 1981).

NB.
I think I hear a Cadd6 chord but for playability, use C6 chord.
Since I play solo, I use a progression in chords during the song, from more open chords /
low fretting, to higher. In the song this does not happen that way: the higher notes are more accentuated
further into the song.
