These are the Billboard Hot 100 number one hits of 1983.
The longest running number-one single of 1983 is "Every Breath You Take" by the Police at eight weeks.
That year, 9 acts reached number one for the first time: Toto, Patti Austin, James Ingram, Dexys Midnight Runners, Irene Cara, The Police, Eurythmics, Michael Sembello, and Bonnie Tyler.
Michael Jackson was the only act to hit number one more than once, with three.
An asterisk (*) by a date indicates an unpublished, "frozen" week, due to the special double issues that Billboard published in print at the end of the year for their year-end charts.
