Notes:


1. Laxmikant-Pyarelal and R D Burman continue their heated rivalry with the latter inching closer to the former.
2. Rafi makes his last appearance on Binaca Geetmala for a while. Two years after his death he still has 4 songs on the annual charts. His next appearance would be with Mohabbat Zinda rehti hai from Love and God in 1986. Kishore Kumars dominance continues unabated. Asha is the queen bee amongst the female playback singers, and Laxmikant's daughter Rajeshwari makes a memorable debut on the charts.
3. In 1982, we witnessed the most heated competition for the top spot, with the top two songs seperated by 1 point!!
