Prince's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 was "Soft and Wet" (1978), which peaked at number 92. The following year, he released "I Wanna Be Your Lover", which became a top-40 hit in several countries and peaked at number 11 in the United States; it topped the Billboard R&B chart in early 1980. The album Prince spawned a top-20 R&B hit single ("Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?") and a top-five dance hit ("Sexy Dancer"). His next two albums, Dirty Mind (1980) and Controversy (1981), furthered his success on the dance/R&B charts, spawning the top-five hits "Dirty Mind", "Uptown", "Head", "Controversy", and "Let's Work". In 1982, Prince released the album 1999, which spawned the Billboard Hot 100 hits "1999", "Little Red Corvette", and "Delirious" throughout 1983, during which time he earned distinction as one of the first black artists to be played on MTV alongside Michael Jackson. Purple Rain (1984) gave Prince two American number one singles ("When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy") while the three other singles, "Purple Rain", "I Would Die 4 U", and "Take Me with U" became worldwide top-10 hits and established him as one of the most popular performers of the decade.[1]

His success in Europe and Asia increased throughout the late-1980s with his 1988 album Lovesexy which crafted the top-40 hits "Alphabet St.", "Glam Slam", and "I Wish U Heaven". Prince closed the 1980s recording the soundtrack to the massively successful 1989 film Batman, which included the worldwide number-one hit "Batdance" as well as the top 20 hits "Partyman", "Scandalous!", "The Future" and "The Arms of Orion".

The list of top singles for 1980s come from the Playback.fm charts. These artists had only one top 10 hit which charted during 1980-1989. Chart appearances and counts span from 1900-2016 only, so artists who charted from 2016-2022 may be falsely classified as a one hit wonder if they had another hit during this period. Chart appearances include Pop, R&B, Country and Rock. This list only includes first billed artists for the given song or release. It may include writing credits and/or featured credits in the future.

Recommendations for routine second doses of measles-containing vaccine were issued by both ACIP and the AAP. During the mid-to-late-1980s, a high proportion of reported measles cases were found in school-aged children (5-19 years old) who had been appropriately vaccinated. These vaccine failures led to national recommendations for a second dose of measles-containing vaccine. 1989
In terms of CEO compensation based on realized stock options, CEOs of major U.S. companies earned 20 times more than the typical worker in 1965. This ratio grew to 30-to-1 in 1978 and 58-to-1 by 1989. It surged in the 1990s, hitting 368-to-1 in 2000, at the end of the 1990s recovery. The fall in the stock market after 2000 reduced CEO stock-related pay (e.g., realized stock options) and caused CEO compensation to tumble in 2002 before beginning to rise again in 2003. CEO compensation recovered to a level of 346 times worker pay by 2007, almost back to its 2000 level. The financial crisis of 2008 and accompanying stock market decline reduced CEO compensation between 2007 and 2009, as discussed above, and the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio fell in tandem. By 2014 the stock market had recouped all of the value it had lost following the financial crisis, and the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio in 2014 had recovered to 296-to-1. The fall in CEO compensation between 2014 and 2016 caused the CEO-to-worker pay ratio to fall. The ratio bumped up in 2017 and basically was stable in 2018, dipping a bit to 278-to-1. Although the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio remains below the value achieved in 2000, at the peak of the stock market bubble, it is far higher than it was in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
