Dance Music Report (USA) - Hi-NRG Top 200 – Hits of the 80's (1990)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

Re: Dance Music Report (USA) - Hi-NRG Top 200 – Hits of the 80's (1990)

Post by 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.

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

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.
