Lionel Richie (pictured in 2011) had four number-one singles and spent a total of seven weeks at number one in the Canadian adult contemporary chart in 1984.

In 1984, RPM magazine published a chart for top-performing singles in the adult contemporary category in Canada. The chart, entitled Contemporary Adult in the beginning of 1984, has undergone numerous name changes throughout its existence and has become Adult Contemporary from August 1984 until the magazine's final publication in November 2000. In 1984, thirty-seven individual songs topped the chart, which contained 30 positions and is based on record sales and adult contemporary radio station playlist submissions.
