Top 100 MOST POPULAR Songs of the 1980's: 10 - 1

The 80's countdown is complete! You can click here for 100 - 91 to view the whole list from top to bottom if you missed any part of it, using the links at the bottom of each post or the blog archive on the side to browse through it. If you are new this week, I had a goal recently to determine what the top songs of all time where based on a formula that I came up with to keep track of the Billboard charts. I went through each year of the charts week by week giving points to the songs that made the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. There are a lot of songs whose runs spanned over two years, or even two decades in some instances. With my yearly lists I go strictly by calendar year and thus those songs get short-changed. This is made up for in my decades lists where their entire runs are taken into account. With the songs that spanned two decades, I included their entire runs in the decade where they had the bigger run. I'll start the 90's soon, but before that I will give you my personal favorite hits from the 80's, so stay tuned for that! Now without further ado, let's take a look at the top 10 songs of the entire 1980's!
