Not much else can be said for now.  Refer to Wikipedia for weekly chart performances and year end performances.  (Wikipedia)

I would like to briefly note my opinion of the "Big Time" music video.  I fully understand music videos being unique to an artist's song.  The theme may be defined by the tone of the song and perhaps the lyrics.  In the 1980s, with the rise of MTV, creativity abound.  "Big Time" was certainly creative with strong use of animation but, unfortunately, one I do not prefer.  Therefore, I did not feel comfortable posting.

Musical creativity is as subjective as any other form of art.  I may not prefer the video but do like the song, whereas you may feel differently.  Explore YouTube to consider for yourself.  In the end, though, just enjoy!
