Opening Song: "Purple Rain" - Prince and The Revolution <br />Warner Brothers Records <br />TW: 12 weeks T40: 11 weeks T10: 7 weeks <br />Peak: #2(2 weeks) Date: 11.17.1984 <br /> <br />I'm finishing up the 1980s Year-Ends despite them being completed elsewhere to fill out the playlist, so here is 1984. This is when MTV started doing year-end lists, which are available for viewing on my Youtube and Vimeo channels. <br /> <br />From this year until 1991, almost every song is a Top 10 hit, for reasons you can decide. (Rule changes in 1991 resulted in longer chart runs and slower chart turnover which ended this trend to this day). <br /> <br />With the start of music videos, means I'm using trailers less, the following are from other media: <br />#80 is from the film Breakin' <br />#47 was the love themes used in the serial Santara Barbra <br />#42 is from Twist of Fate <br />#13 is also from Footloose alongside #4 and #59 <br />#5 is from the film Against All Odds <br />and finally, #1 and #21, as well as the opening song, are all from the film "Purple Rain" (the opening song is actual footage from the movie). <br /> <br /> <br />Opening Song: "Purple Rain" - Prince and The Revolution <br />Warner Brothers Records <br />Peak: #2(2 weeks) Date: 11.17.1984 <br /> <br />For more info, see here: https://weeklytop40.wordpress.com/
