1980 – 1989 · Billboard Hot 100 (EE.UU.) y UK Singles Chart (Reino Unido) · 200 canciones con link directo
Este apéndice cuenta la historia del éxito masivo, año por año, en los dos mercados que dominaban la música popular mundial durante la década. Es la banda sonora de fondo mientras los movimientos del capítulo narrativo ocurrían en los márgenes.
Billboard Hot 100 — Estados Unidos (top 10 anual oficial)
UK Singles Chart — Reino Unido (números uno representativos del año)
Una nota sobre las fuentes: El ranking de Estados Unidos viene del Billboard Year-End Hot 100, calculado con un sistema de puntos por semana en el chart. Para el Reino Unido, este apéndice mantiene la misma metodología del resto del libro: los números uno se listan en orden cronológico de aparición (hasta 10 por año), no por ventas totales — la consistencia con los demás apéndices importa más que mezclar criterios de ranking distintos entre décadas.
1980 El último eco de la disco y el primer synth-pop. Post Beatles, pre MTV.
