The biggest records on Global Music Power that entered the chart in the 1980s, ranked by Record Power. Click a column to re-sort.
Record Power is the song's own figure: each week on the chart is worth its position as a share of a full chart — a #1 week is 3.5, a #21 week is 1.8, a #100 week is 0.11 — added up over the run. No credit split and no discount for what else the artist had charting. What a song earned each artist is on the artist pages.

Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart combined, weighted · UK Singles Chart data ends Aug 1, 2025 · How it works
Each week an artist's share is the weighted mean of their Power Share across Billboard Hot 100 ×1 and UK Singles Chart ×0.45 (weights ∝ √population, US = 1). The divisor is every chart's weight, so a number one is worth the same share in any era — and a week before every chart exists, or after one's data ends, sums to less than 100.
UK Singles Chart data runs to Aug 1, 2025; later weeks combine the Billboard Hot 100 only, so their shares — and the most recent years' Era Power — are lower than a full week's would be.
A derived chart has no songs of its own: they are on the member charts.
