![]() ![]() I think it's notable that 86 singles sold in excess of 200,000 copies during 1983 - an astounding statistic. I mentioned upthread that I thought 1983 was an outstanding year for singles and honestly, there are only five or six in this entire list that I don't care for.

Thank you all for making this thread one of my favourite diversions during 2023 and special thanks to Morrow for continuing to helm the ship.
