  • These are the top 10 biggest selling songs of each year in the 1980s. From the beginning of 1980 to the end of 1989. The source for this list is the Billboard chart and because i couldn't find the sales figures from a truly reliable source i opted against including any i did find.

    Fair Dealing
    Source: www.gov.uk/gui...
    Certain exceptions only apply if the use of the work is a ‘fair dealing’. For example, the exceptions relating to research and private study, criticism or review, or news reporting.
    ‘Fair dealing’ is a legal term used to establish whether a use of copyright material is lawful or whether it infringes copyright. There is no statutory definition of fair dealing - it will always be a matter of fact, degree and impression in each case. The question to be asked is: how would a fair-minded and honest person have dealt with the work?
    Factors that have been identified by the courts as relevant in determining whether a particular dealing with a work is fair include:
    does using the work affect the market for the original work? If a use of a work acts as a substitute for it, causing the owner to lose revenue, then it is not likely to be fair
    is the amount of the work taken reasonable and appropriate? Was it necessary to use the amount that was taken? Usually only part of a work may be used
    The relative importance of any one factor will vary according to the case in hand and the type of dealing in question.
    Source: www.bl.uk/busi...
    The concept of fair usage exists within UK copyright law; commonly referred to as fair dealing, or free use and fair practice. It’s a framework designed to allow the lawful use or reproduction of work without having to seek permission from the copyright owner(s) or creator(s) or infringing their interest.
    Fair dealing law is not only applicable to text-based works; it applies to musical, dramatic, artistic, literary and typographical works too. However, it does not cover the copyright of printed music.
    As an exception to British copyright law, fair dealing is governed by Sections 29 and 30 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, which outlines three instance where fair dealing is a legitimate defence:
    If the use is for the purposes of research or private study;
    If it is used for the purposes of criticism, review or quotation;
    Where it is utilised for the purposes of reporting current events (this does not apply to photographs)
    A statutory definition for fair dealing does not exist; it will always be a matter of fact, degree and interpretation in every fair dealing case. Nor is there a percentage or quantitative measure to determine fair dealing. The Intellectual Property Office lists the key factors used to determine the validity of whether a particular dealing with a work is fair as follows:
    Has the use of the work impacted negatively on the market for the original work? If the creator or owner has lost potential revenue through the re-use of their work, it is not likely to be fair.
    Was it reasonable and necessary to use the amount of work that was taken?
    The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 also outlines the potential fair dealing defences that permit the use of copyright works without permission from the author(s) or creator(s) under UK copyright law.

    It's a pity that We Are The World the most iconic song of 1985 didn't make it to the Top 10 on the year end charts. In fact it should have been the top song for that year!

    • @Media_Ranker
      @Media_Ranker  5 місяців тому

      Yeah thinking about it it must have been in a different category or something, as a charity single, as it makes no sense it wasnt in the year end top 100 for 1985 or 1986, that cant be true in terms of sales generally speaking. Cheers

      @@Media_Ranker Ahm no, Billboard used a combo of airplay and sales to compile their charts back then (they weighted them differently at different times). They also relied on sales figures from record companies etc before the soundscan era. By rights true sales I believe We are the world was the biggest selling single in the US in the 80's. Another example is Push it by Salt n Pepa was the only gold record (1 million sales at the time) for one of these years and again not even here. But thanks for posting none-the-less :)

    o After reading that, I went through Madonna's music videos...and afterwards not only 100% agree with them for "Artist of the Decade" but also feel incredibly more satisfied with 80s music with her as the spokesperson.

    This is clearly only in the United States, this list makes no sense, change the title or I will report the video. How is Karma Chameleon not going to be in 1983 or Let's Dance? and Irene Cara's song is the first that year. Change the title, you are lying.

      just read the description...also whatever you have read for any supposed global charts, you shouldnt trust, as well as sales figures too, thats why i didnt include them. Global charts didnt exist officially until very recently. Lets Dance was 18th in 1983 for this, Karma Chameleon was 10th in 1984 (it came out in the second half of 1983). Cheers
