Top hits are not eligible

[VacantJoy]

https://80shinrgeurobeat.com/record-mir ... arts-1982/
In 1990 Casey Jones, a leading New York club DJ throughout the 1980s, and remixer of many Hi-NRG tracks for the Disconet Program Service in the 80s, put together a list of 200 top Hi-NRG tracks spanning the whole decade, from 1980 to 1989. His top 200 (actually a total of 246 songs) was later published on hotdiscomix.de. Casey’s list is as good a place as any to start a discovery into 80s Hi-NRG. The songs are not ranked in any particular order, being listed purely alphabetically by song title. The major artists associated with Hi-NRG appear in this list, and their names will keep cropping up in subsequent posts – Sylvester, Bobby “O”, Lime, The Flirts, Hazell Dean, Dead Or Alive, to name but a few.

Top hits are not eligible

so its not about hits

i moved it to ''Single critics'' even though he he wasn't a critic but a DJ but i cant find more info about him , neither i can find if the list was created with the contributions of other members from that magazine

[panam]

A list called "Top Hits" couldn't be a critic list. Not even the name of the critic is important in this thread.

[VacantJoy]

A list called "Top Hits" couldn't be a critic list. Not even the name of the critic is important in this thread.

its from a printed music magazine and its a DJ these are posted in the topic ! and its not about charts sales , its just the name of the title

[panam]

Apparently, as you say, it is based on a curator's selection, but that is not what a list of critics does, and even less so coming from a magazine that wanted to report on club hits. It seems that the only criterion here has been popularity. The title confirms this.
