Billboard's Top 100 Songs of 1982 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Although there was plenty of great music this year, 1982 will go down as probably the biggest joke of all the year end countdowns because nobody is going to convince me that "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John was the most popular song released that year.

This wretched piece of crap spent 10 agonizing weeks at #1 and while doing so Kept Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like you" out of the top spot. I know that these are ranked by airplay, record sales etc... but I'll never be convinced that this year's countdown was on the level.
