1980 was not a landslide because the popular vote margin was less than 10%.
In fact, Reagan did not win a majority in enough states to win the electoral college. He won by winning a plurality in some states and did receive a big majority of electoral votes, due to the fact that there was a strong third party candidate.
The definition of a landslide is when the winner get 10% more than the second place candidate.
