Little did we know that it would only take 25 years for Rhythm of the Night by Corona to age like spoiled milk for reasons that aren’t even close to its fault

Okay so I’m gonna bring this thread back to life, because I’m gonna be posting lists for the 80s. And I’m gonna say upfront: go ahead and throw out the official year end lists, because they’re terrible. Even beyond the actual data being held together by duct tape and string, the structure of the charts themselves is abysmal. The cutoff date fluctuates year to year (in 1984, the chart started at the beginning of November, and then ends midway through the following November). It also runs on an inverse that is different from the all time lists. More specifically, it uses a pure 90-1 inverse for 11-100 (leading to a bunch of ties), but then the top 10 has this bizarre, disorganized inverse that has no real logic behind it. So you know what? Screw Billboard, I’ll be using my own inverse. And for the sake of making it at least somewhat comparable to the 2010s lists, I’m gonna be using the same basic inverse for the bottom 40 as I used for 2017, but with the top of the chart weighed much heavier. In addition, there will be bonuses for multiple weeks at #1. Definitely looking forward to doing this Are you gonna do 1990 and 1991 too? I know the last few weeks of 1991 are Nielsen weeks and thus it doesn't entirely make sense to use the inverse formula but it's better than not having a 1991 chart at all

Of the 15 songs that missed this but made the original Toss up for 1994Short Dick Man So, the (probably) worst hit of the 90s might've been caught between years if Billboard used the actual calendar year? Just another reason for Billboard to do the logical thing that any thinking human being would do and use the actual calendar year for their Year-End charts. {Spoiler} Although, had Billboard always used the calendar year, Beautiful Day by U2 would've been caught between 2000 and 2001, so maybe it's not worth it after all.

That's debatable, even if you exclude the first 2 years of the '90s that had easy targets like Ice Ice Baby and Everything I Do. Short Dick Man is absolutely terrible, but at least it's a weird and unique kind of bad that was a product of its time.

Also it is 5 minutes of being forced to listen to the voice of Bryan Adams.

I put the "(probably)" in there because I haven't looked at every year of the 90s (I've only looked at 1992, 95 and 98). However, I have a hard time seeing anything being worse than Short Dick Man, so I felt confident in calling it the worst hit of the decade anyway.

Yeah I’ll do 90 and 91. I’ll probably just use the inverse all the way through 91 for the sake of consistency.

Songs that made the official list and missed here
I Would Do Anything For Love But I Wouldn't Do That - made 1993, maybe top 10 but hopefully not this song sucks Keep Ya Head Up - caught between years (was #104) Just Kickin' It - made 1993 Mr. Vain - caught between years :( U.N.I.T.Y. - caught between years Always In My Heart - #102 What Is Love - made 1993 And Our Feelings - #103
And yes, this means Short Dick Man didn't make any year end list. However this chart had a bit of a tragedy I thought Elton John's Circle Of Life would advance onto the year end list because it was kinda close the first time but it finished exactly one week short at #101. Seriously General Public's I'll Take You There isn't good at all so that fact that it turned out that way is a total hot girl bummer.

For my first year, we're gonna start off with my personal favorite year of all time: 1983. As a reminder, the inverse I'm using is different from the official 1983 list, because that inverse sucks and mine is better. But in any case, I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Rank | Song | Artist | Peak | Top 10 | Hot 100 | Points | 1 | Every Breath You Take | The Police | #1 (8 weeks) | 13 | 22 | 706,480 | 2 | Flashdance...What a Feeling | Irene Cara | #1 (6 weeks) | 14 | 25 | 676,770 | 3 | Billie Jean | Michael Jackson | #1 (7 weeks) | 11 | 24 | 597,850 | 4 | Total Eclipse of the Heart | Bonnie Tyler | #1 (4 weeks) | 11 | 25 | 545,650 | 5 | Beat It | Michael Jackson | #1 (3 weeks) | 10 | 25 | 519,820 | 6 | All Night Long (All Night) | Lionel Richie | #1 (4 weeks) | 12 | 16 | 508,210 | 7 | Islands in the Stream | Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton | #1 (2 weeks) | 12 | 19 | 474,380 | 8 | Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) | Eurythmics | #1 | 9 | 26 | 466,250 | 9 | Say Say Say | Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson | #1 (4 weeks) | 9 | 12 | 450,490 | 10 | Maniac | Michael Sembello | #1 (2 weeks) | 9 | 22 | 438,550 | 11 | Let's Dance | David Bowie | #1 | 10 | 20 | 431,730 | 12 | Down Under | Men at Work | #1 (4 weeks) | 9 | 17 | 422,410 | 13 | Shame on the Moon | Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band | #2 | 8 | 19 | 418,130 | 14 | Electric Avenue | Eddy Grant | #2 | 8 | 22 | 412,310 | 15 | Making Love Out of Nothing at All | Air Supply | #2 | 9 | 23 | 393,660 | 16 | Do You Really Want to Hurt Me | Culture Club | #2 | 9 | 21 | 392,880 | 17 | Baby, Come to Me | Patti Austin & James Ingram | #1 (2 weeks) | 9 | 17 | 375,540 | 18 | Hungry Like the Wolf | Duran Duran | #3 | 9 | 22 | 374,980 | 19 | Come on Eileen | Dexys Midnight Runners | #1 | 6 | 23 | 369,930 | 20 | She Works Hard for the Money | Donna Summer | #3 | 8 | 21 | 368,430 | 21 | The Safety Dance | Men Without Hats | #3 | 7 | 24 | 355,970 | 22 | Uptown Girl | Billy Joel | #3 | 10 | 15 | 354,950 | 23 | Never Gonna Let You Go | Sergio Mendes | #4 | 8 | 23 | 354,400 | 24 | Jeopardy | The Greg Kihn Band | #2 | 7 | 22 | 351,210 | 25 | Time (Clock of the Heart) | Culture Club | #2 | 9 | 18 | 343,080 | 26 | Tell Her About It | Billy Joel | #1 | 7 | 18 | 341,930 | 27 | Mr. Roboto | Styx | #3 | 8 | 18 | 331,360 | 28 | She Blinded Me With Science | Thomas Dolby | #5 | 8 | 22 | 317,100 | 29 | Overkill | Men at Work | #3 | 8 | 16 | 314,100 | 30 | You Are | Lionel Richie | #4 | 4 | 18 | 299,930 | 31 | Maneater* | Hall & Oates | #1 (2 weeks) | 7 | 12 | 296,250 | 32 | True | Spandau Ballet | #4 | 6 | 18 | 295,950 | 33 | Stray Cat Strut | Stray Cats | #3 | 5 | 18 | 293,790 | 34 | Puttin' On the Ritz | Taco | #4 | 6 | 21 | 291,510 | 35 | Little Red Corvette | Prince | #6 | 6 | 22 | 284,870 | 36 | We've Got Tonight | Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton | #6 | 7 | 18 | 284,560 | 37 | Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) | Journey | #8 | 7 | 17 | 284,250 | 38 | Back on the Chain Gang | The Pretenders | #5 | 5 | 21 | 280,920 | 39 | One Thing Leads to Another | The Fixx | #4 | 7 | 19 | 280,850 | 40 | Stand Back | Stevie Nicks | #5 | 6 | 19 | 274,640 | 41 | You & I | Eddie Rabbitt & Crystal Gayle | #7 | 6 | 17 | 270,240 | 42 | One on One | Hall & Oates | #7 | 6 | 18 | 269,800 | 43 | Africa | Toto | #1 | 6 | 12 | 269,250 | 44 | Say it Isn't So | Hall & Oates | #2 | 7 | 10 | 268,390 | 45 | Der Kommissar | After the Fire | #5 | 5 | 21 | 265,810 | 46 | Love is a Battlefield | Pat Benetar | #5 | 7 | 15 | 265,120 | 47 | King of Pain | The Police | #3 | 5 | 16 | 263,340 | 48 | Is There Something I Should Know | Duran Duran | #4 | 6 | 17 | 261,970 | 49 | Cum on Feel the Noize | Quiet Riot | #5 | 5 | 16 | 259,520 | 50 | Wanna Be Startin' Something | Michael Jackson | #5 | 6 | 15 | 248,160 | 51 | Sexual Healing | Marvin Gaye | #3 | 7 | 12 | 245,200 | 52 | Don't Let it End | Styx | #6 | 5 | 16 | 239,150 | 53 | Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair) | Sheena Easton | #9 | 3 | 20 | 239,080 | 54 | Twilight Zone | Golden Earring | #10 | 2 | 22 | 235,500 | 55 | Too Shy | Kajagoogoo | #5 | 4 | 19 | 231,870 | 56 | Affair of the Heart | Rick Springfield | #9 | 3 | 18 | 225,130 | 57 | (She's) Sexy + 17 | Stray Cats | #5 | 4 | 15 | 224,880 | 58 | Solitaire | Laura Branigan | #7 | 4 | 17 | 224,280 | 59 | My Love | Lionel Richie | #5 | 5 | 16 | 223,300 | 60 | (Keep Feeling) Fascination | The Human League | #8 | 3 | 20 | 222,960 | 61 | Our House | Madness | #7 | 4 | 19 | 222,350 | 62 | It's a Mistake | Men at Work | #6 | 4 | 15 | 221,910 | 63 | Tonight, I Celebrate My Love | Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack | #16 |

Holy s**t that top 5 is like impossibly amazing I remember this year being almost 2009 levels of stacked.
Sad that "What About Me" didn't make any year end list though although I think even for the original they kinda just dumped all its points in 1983 instead of dividing them between years, it still only would have had like 13 weeks in the chart year
I do have a question does the formula you have weigh the top 10 heavier? Because I noticed that all 6 of the songs that got bumped out peaked below 15 and had decently long chart runs. But that could also just be because the first chart was weird i really know nothing about 80's charts

I mean, this is the year where Every Breath You Take, Come on Eileen, Billie Jean, Little Red Corvette, Photograph, Africa, Down Under, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Sweet Dreams, Maniac, Sexual Healing, Beat It, 1999 and Hungry Like the Wolf all made the year end. All are enduring classics to this day. You could easily make a top 10 from that list alone, and I just listed 13 songs. And in this new version, you get to add Say Say Say and Uptown Girl to the list.
And even despite how great this list is, it still could have been even better. A Flock of Seagulls had two top 30 singles, one of which was Space Age Love Song. One of my favorite songs of the entire decade. And Wishing (If I Had a Photograph) was a damn good song too that I would have loved to see be a hit.
Also, can I just point out how insane this year was for Michael Jackson? 6 year end hits, and PYT was only a few spots away from making it 7. Guess that’s what happens when you release the biggest album of all time.
Edit: I just realized I Melt With You by Modern English also charted in 1983. Best year in Billboard history, I stand by that

It weighs the top of the chart heavier, yes, but the top 20 is weighed about the same as mid-2010s. It’s more that the bottom of the formula is very weak, with the 98-100 range having less than 1,000 points. But even aside from that, every single song’s run during this era followed a bell shaped curve (debut low, rise to the peak, and rapidly decline afterwards). Songs with higher peaks tended to have longer runs overall, particularly in the key top 20 region.
Those songs mostly made it in the original chart because of the pure inverse from 11-100. So spending two weeks at 50 was worth more than spending one week at 11. So having a lower peak was fine if you had longevity, because the difference in positions was so small. In my inverse, it would take five weeks at 50 to earn more points than one week at 11.
My goal was to make the chart comparable to the modern era, use a formula that was similar to the all time chart (though not the same, because the drop off after the top 10 is inexcusable), and had a consistent rate of change. So #1 is 50k, #10 is about 22k, #25 is about 10k, #50 is about 4k, and #100 is 920. Oh and bonuses for consecutive weeks at #1.

So glad No Rain made the January-December 1993 YE, one of the most iconic one-hit wonders of the '90s doesn't deserve to be caught between years.

Reason To Believe is so out of place on the 1993 Year End list. Don't get me wrong, it's great song from the early 1970s, but it's something that should belong on a 1971 or 1972 Year End list, not 1993.

Looks like on the 1983 list, I had forgotten about Telefone and Love is a Battlefield. So Mickey and Photograph both get pushed out. So you know what? I Was thinking about doing this anyways, so now I'm gonna go ahead and post the first 10 out from now on for all of these retrospective lists Rank | Song | Artist | Points | 101 | Mickey* | Toni Basil | 158,210 | 102 | Photograph | Def Leppard | 157,300 | 103 | Owner of a Lonely Heart | Yes | 153,840 | 104 | Take Me to Heart | Quarterflash | 151,340 | 105 | All This Love | DeBarge | 148,050 | 106 | P.Y.T. | Michael Jackson | 147,050 | 107 | Twist of Fate | Olivia Newton-John | 142,690 | 108 | Why Me? | Irene Cara | 142,580 | 109 | I've Got a Rock 'n Roll Heart | Eric Clapton | 140,150 | 110 | Fall in Love With Me | Earth, Wind & Fire | 139,940 |

Owner of a Lonely Heart makes the 1984 list, though, and probably in the Top 10.

The 1984 list. For what it's worth, yes, I realize that the numbers are lower here than in 1983. Starting this year and continuing through the rest of the decade, the chart runs for songs became significantly shorter in comparison to the the early years of the decade. Which is why I chose to start with 83 and 84 as opposed to the beginning or end of the decade (that and the insanely high quality) Rank | Song | Artist | Peak | Top 10 | Hot 100 | Points

The 1984 list. For what it's worth, yes, I realize that the numbers are lower here than in 1983. Starting this year and continuing through the rest of the decade, the chart runs for songs became significantly shorter in comparison to the the early years of the decade. Which is why I chose to start with 83 and 84 as opposed to the beginning or end of the decade (that and the insanely high quality) Do you plan to do one of these rankings of years prior to 1983? Or even earlier than 1980?
