Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems most #1s had just 1 or 2 weeks at the top, a few had longer. But no-one had more than 7/8 weeks except Stars on 45 (12 weeks), making it the longest runner of the 80s?

The ladies started out with 4 sisters.

Not to mention Duet Songs aswell On My Own, Friends And Lovers and The Next Time I Fall surpreme

Pues dejame decirte que estas adelantada a los de tu generacion y ademas demuestras tener un muy buen gusto musical. No que todo lo que sale o ha salido en este nuevo siglo halla sido o sea malo,pero la diversidad musical y todos los musicos que la trajeron a la vida en sus grabaciones es algo que rara vez se ve estos dias!.

@@MarcosCorderoBALDO si yo pienso lo mismo pero creo que hasta la primera década de los 2000 fue buena para la música. Se perdieron muchos los valores, la inspiración y las ganas de hacer música. Ahora más que nada lo hacen por dinero

@@claritazigaran5560 Opino lo mismo, la primera decada de este siglo fue decente, despues entre el 2011 hasta la actualidad ha habido un deterioro masivo de la calidad musical,casi todo lo que la internet y las radios tocan suena a lo mismo ( la musica latina ha sido tomada como rehen por la musica urbana,y sus letras que rayan en pornografia y demas ) y ni se diga de la musica en ingles, igualmente venida a menos por el balbuceo de lo que algunos creen es Rap y no lo es..En pocas palabras,decadencia total.

@@MarcosCorderoBALDO ah claro que no soy crítica ni nada por el estilo: pero yo pienso que los medios de comunicación se están encargando de hacernos escuchar lo que ellos quieren que escuchemos, y los artistas de ahora sólo lo hacen por dinero

Hello Clarita, you might also like the playlists on my channel of each year. 1983 is my favourite.

Surprisingly, Bryan Adams had more success in USA than Canada. He had only 2 top 10 in the 80s in Canada : "Run to you" (#4) and "Heat of the night" (#7)

@@francispelletier3647 ,as many hits he had in the 80's and only two cracked the top 10 in Canada. That's crazy. When Corey Hart had a few number ones in Canada and was Canadian too , I believe. Not knocking Corey"s talent, but Bryan should have had more top 10 hits and at least one number one song in Canada during the 80's

@@nathangrogan1105 - Corey Hart is originally from Montreal. Going back to Bryan Adams. His best hits came in the first half of the 1980"s. During that time Canada was hit by what was called "The Second British Invasion".

On the other hand, Bryan had 10 number one hits in the 90's in Canada !!!

I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks for your comment. I already made some videos of #1 songs by countries (New Zealand, Australia, France, Netherlands, Spain)

@@francispelletier3647 Go all-in and make such videos for Portugal and Japan.

Unfortunately!

She has French-Canadian ancestry through her mother.

10 in Canada and 8 in Usa! She was huge in the 80s

@@danielgomez2933 she has over 20 #1 singles on Canada in total, more than half were from 1990 onwards, so I wouldn't say she was huge JUST in the 80s, she was an international chart beast until about 2008-2009, hit after hit in every country, her albums still debut at #1 but her singles aren't as successful in the last 10 years which is normal for an older 50 plus year old act

Damn, Madonna actually has 24#1 singles in Canada for in total, 10 in the 80s, 8 in the 90s and 6 from 2000-2012, more than anyone male or female in Canadian chart history

You really took to Rick! 4 number ones! He only had the one here in the UK, Never Gonna Give You Up. Mind you, that was our best-selling single of 1987.

Bryan Adams was more successful in the 90s.

Awesome song, hope you looked it up 😁

Some songs seem to be number one everywhere: US, Canada, UK, Australia, Sweden, Netherlands. Like Let's Dance by David Bowie.

"Careless whisper" is at 11:07 ;)

@@francispelletier3647 sorry, my fault!

When they say an international superstar, it really means something.

The reason was back in the 1980's there was a "cultural protectionism" in place in North America applied by record companies. During that decade around 95% of the music played on radio and on MuchMusic (Canada's MTV) were from performers from Canada, The United States, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. During the 1980's music video became the #1 promotion tool for music artists. If you were a musical artist that wasn't from the countries previously mentioned (mostly artists from Continental Europe) and wanted airtime on both radio and TV you had to come out with an "out of this world music video" to get that airtime. The best example of this was the Norwegian band A-Ha with the song "Take On Me" which got plenty of airtime because of the popularity of the music video. Many non-british music acts in Europe such as Valerie Dore, Sandra, Modern Talking, Ken Laszlo and many others who were big musical acts in Europe in the 1980's never got their music played here in Canada because of that "cultural protectionism" that was in place. If you simply look at the year-end-charts here in Canada and in the United States (Billboard) during the 1980's you will find out that the number of musical artists that were not from Canada, USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand on those year-end-charts.....you can count them on the fingers of one hand.

I already made french charts

@@francispelletier3647 how about Australia, Britain, or USA 1980s charts?

close it peaked at #2

From RPM

Yes it was a Canadian number 1,but I don't know the exact date.

He had lot of #1 in the 90's. None in the 80's

But she didn't, her international numbers have always been poor on comparison to Michael and Madonna

They're hits from the eighties
