List of number-one hits of 1982 (Argentina)

The Argentine record charts in 1982 reflected a diverse musical landscape, encompassing both international sensations and homegrown talent. While comprehensive, officially archived chart data for Argentina in 1982 is often incomplete and inconsistently available, this entry attempts to compile a list of songs that are widely regarded as having reached the number-one position on recognized Argentine music charts during that year. Due to the fragmented nature of historical Argentine chart information, particularly before standardized national charts were implemented, pinpointing exact dates and chart runs with complete certainty can be challenging. Popularity was gauged through radio airplay, record sales (where available), and anecdotal evidence from music publications and cultural commentary of the time.

Artists appearing on the list include a mix of English-language pop and rock artists, Italian singers with strong followings in Argentina, and prominent Argentine musicians. This highlights the cross-cultural influences prevalent in the country's music scene during the period.

It is important to note that the order of songs listed below does not necessarily represent their chronological order of reaching number one. Instead, it is offered as a general overview of prominent hits from 1982 in Argentina. Further research and access to more complete archival data would be needed for a definitive ranking and specific chart dates.

• Men at Work – "Down Under"
