If the Big 80’s was the best decade for music then 1982 was the best year.

I miss the early 80s so much it makes me cry

1982: The year the 80s truely started. After a bore of 1980 and 1981, 1982 brought the 80s into motion because of synths and ROCK!

[MasteroftheVirtualIntergalacti]

Tainted love broke the record of most consecutive weeks on the hot 100 with 41 weeks at the time

[kathleen]

Loved 1982 many good things and songs happened that year. Guess it took 1980 and 1981 to get it kick started

[ABCDEFGH-oreb]

40 years ago, with probably the most ludicrous pre-SoundScan sums!

Almost all songs here spent at least two weeks at their peak, some a lot more than that!

And more than 10 songs were in the top 10 for at least 12 weeks! Some eras never had a single song with at least that many weeks in the top 10!

While there was still remants of the 70s, 1982 was the moment the 80s really begins with MTV taking off, with new wave really exploding this year. Other genre's managed to thrive such as rock, r&b, and country. I used to think this year was more closer to the end of borderline decent but no this was a truly great year for music with so many classics people still recognize. Even with the early inception of MTV, the decade found it's sound pretty early. If anything, I wanna say that 1982 might actually just be the most diverse year end chart of the 80s, although 1983 would prove to be even better.

It seems as if 1982 was sort of the transition year from the vibe and style of the 70s into the 80s. What we get here are a few last gasps of genes that dominated in the previous decade such as California yacht rock and Philly soul while at the same time we get major breakthroughs for new wave, synth pop, and the Minneapolis sound.

Siempre me gusta diferenciar exitos trascendentes de exitos intrascendentes....los 70s y 80s en el balance tuvieron mas exitos trascendentes...de eso no hay duda.
