The 1984 Sony WM-F10 Walkman was similar to an earlier model, the WM-10, but had an FM stereo radio. Engineers worked hard to figure out how to mount the radio equipment into the small body of this Walkman. They ended up building it into the cassette door, successfully making this model only slightly larger than its predecessor.

Top 10 Billboard Songs of 1984:
1. "When Doves Cry," Prince
2. "What's Love Got to Do with It," Tina Turner
3. "Say, Say, Say," Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson
4. "Footloose," Kenny Loggins
5. "Against All Odds" (Take a Look at Me Now), Phil Collins
6. "Jump," Van Halen
7. "Hello," Lionel Richie
8. "Owner of a Lonely Heart," Yes
9. "Ghostbusters," Ray Parker Jr.
10. "Karma Chameleon," Culture Club
