Billboard Top Hits: 1984 is a compilation album released by Rhino Records in 1992, featuring 10 hit recordings from 1984.

The track lineup includes seven songs that reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with the remaining three songs—"Hold Me Now", "Jump (For My Love)" and "Talking in Your Sleep"—each reaching the top 5 on the Hot 100.

Critical reception

Giving the album four-and-a-half out of five stars, Heather Phares of AllMusic cited the album as "one of the decade's strongest collections of singles."^[1] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice gave the album an A rating and wrote: "After four Brits and Eddy Grant in two years, we get five black artists, five U.K. artists, and 'Talking in Your Sleep.' It didn't mean much—this was also the year of Reagan rampant, with 'Karma Chameleon' the only vaguely progressive moment. But give two cheers for formal evolution, the mass marketplace, the pleasures of false consciousness, and England swinging like a pendulum do."^[2]
