Multiple outlets are reporting on lists of the best songs of the 1980s, with some outlets listing 200 songs and others compiling larger lists, such as the top 500 or 850 songs of the decade. The lists appear to feature a range of artists and songs from the 1980s, including some that have experienced revivals in popularity. The specific rankings and inclusions on these lists are not entirely consistent across outlets, suggesting some variation in opinions on the best songs of the decade.
