All chart positions are peak positions from Billboard charts for 1984. These are my personal top 84 singles of those that peaked on the Billboard charts in 1984. The list is solely my opinion. Using Joel Whitburn's book, Pop Annual 1955-2005, I started with the 434 singles that peaked on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 chart in 1984. An initial pass through that list narrowed it down to 106 tunes, then listening, ranking, and editing began. The top 84 are presented this week, in order.
