List of number-one Billboard Hot Single Sales number-one singles of the 1980s

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't believe a list of number ones for every secondary chart in Billboard is needed, especially a component chart like this one that served as a means to compile the Hot 100. Also, as there is no article about the chart itself, there is really no encyclopedic significance to what reached number one on it. For example, even with a song like Candle in the Wind 1997, the discussion would be about how it reached number one on the Hot 100 primarily due to sales, not about being number one on this chart.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Really conflicted on this one, so much work went into it I'd like to keep it. What's needed is a source to substantiate notability - but none is provided on the page, just Billboard's back-issues (which are not a list of 1980's no.1 singles). Searching myself I could not find one. As such WP:GNG failed. - I'd really like to save your article, can you suggest something? FOARP (talk) 20:07, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
