Have you listened to the highly-anticipated Top Gun: Maverick motion picture soundtrack yet?! Legendary composers Hans Zimmer, Harold Faltermeyer, and Lorne Balfe collaborated with multi-Grammy and Academy Award-winning superstar Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born, House of Gucci) on the entire score to create an unparalleled cinematic experience that captures the original 1986 film's nostalgia in a modern fashion. The movie's two leading singles, “Hold My Hand” by Lady Gaga and “I Ain't Worried" by OneRepublic, were also written by the artists themselves and released in advance of the Paramount Pictures film. And of course Kenny Loggins's ”Danger Zone" makes an inevitable comeback.&nbsp;How do the soundtrack's songs and original score compare to Hans Zimmer's greatest previous works? Will the Interscope Records album surpass one billion streams on Spotify? Vote up the best songs from&nbsp;Top Gun: Maverick (Music From the Motion Picture), and vote down the tracks that fail to highlight the Tom Cruise film's timeless essence.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A closer listen to the decade that brought us everything from Run-DMC to Mötley Crüe to Rick Astley.

Oh Yeah, It's '80s Night

The 1980s was a huge decade in terms of breaking pop stars. 80s artists benefited from the rising popularity of cable television. MTV was a cultural phenomenon that became a kingmaker in terms of helping create larger than life 80s pop stars. Singers like Michael Jackson, Prince, and Madonna, largely considered three of the biggest 80s pop stars, were greatly impacted by these new outlets. Their trailblazing&nbsp;music videos revolutionized the way people consumed music.

In a sense, the 80s turned run of the mill musicians into major pop stars. Artists like Billy Ocean, Huey Lewis &amp; The News, Rick Springfield, and Richard Marx all had brushes with fame during this decade&mdash;even becoming the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-artists-of-the-_80s?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top artists of the 80s</a>. While the merits of their respective widespread fame and acclaim can be debated, no one can doubt or diminish their achievements as some of the biggest stars of the 1980s and most widely known and remembered 80s groups. Some of the decade&#39;s biggest pop artists and pop artists have endured to the present day. Bon Jovi, Journey, and the late Whitney Houston are examples of 80s singers whose music was able to endure and are considered classics from that time period.

Here is your chance to pick the best 1980s pop stars. This ultimate list will determine who was the greatest pop star of the decade, and it&#39;s up to you decide who takes the honor.
