One (Jun 21, 1990) with a magnitude of 7.4. One other came close; it was on Oct 17, 1989, with a magnitude of 6.9.
This is a tough question to answer because earthquakes occur in so many places all over the world. They are generally recorded by magnitute, death tolls, and frequency for each country, but I was unable to find a list that compiled all of the data together.

Without earthquakes, there would be a greater population and less damage. Also, earthquakes kill so many people.

Approximately 10-15% of all earthquakes have a magnitude greater than 6. This category includes significant earthquakes that can cause considerable damage, although they represent a small fraction of the total number of seismic events. Most earthquakes are of lower magnitude, with many occurring daily around the world.
This is not a record of a Magnitude 8 or Greater Earthquake during the year
In the world there are approximately 53,139 earthquakes per year of magnitude 3.0 or greater which equates to an average of 145.6 per day. Major earthquakes of 6.0 or greater happen at the rate of 1 every 2.5 days.
