All chart positions are peak positions from Billboard charts. These are my personal top 80 singles of those that peaked on the Billboard charts in 1980. The list is solely my opinion. Using Joel Whitburn's book, Pop Annual 1955-1999, I started with the 470 singles that peaked on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 chart in 1980. An initial pass through that list narrowed it down to 119 tunes, then listening, ranking, and editing began. The top 80 are presented here, in order.
