1980 in music "Other notable hits"

I am just wondering why there isn't a section for other notable hits or other significant hits like the other years from the 1980's in music. 1980 is the only year of the 80's that does not include this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.81.220.3 (talk) 00:15, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You could add that info yourself, you know. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is a guest star in the context of a movie ?

In a TV series, it's somebody who only appears in one (or maybe a few) episodes. In a movie, does it mean they only appear in a single scene ? Is this term used of more famous actors who just do cameo appearances ? For an example, the movie Barabbas lists Ernest Borgnine as a guest star. StuRat (talk) 18:13, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It all has to do with billing and the contract the actor negotiated. Consider Lost in Space, where Jonathan Harris was listed as "Special Guest Star" despite appearing in pretty much every episode.

Wikipedia does have an article titled Billing (filmmaking), as well. --Jayron32 01:28, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
