I knew Escape went back to #1, but I didn't realize it held the spot again all the way until Rock With You. Yeah, you're right, he was closer than I thought. One song off (like I was).

I really thought this would have made it to about 20 or so.
I would have thought this would have made it to the top 10.
I didn't think it would break the top 40 with the buzz-saw guitar, but I thought it would have been close.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
These are surprises. That last not so much as they are Canadian.
Please tell me this is not the Stones song done by Bette Midler. Insert Bevus & Butthead here if so.
That Night Ranger one surprised me also, it was all over the radio during the 80's, and all over Classic Rock radio later.

One thing I noticed about Alan Hunter's comment on "I Guess That is Why They Call it the Blues". I think this was probably the 3rd release from "Too Low For Zero" preceded by "I'm Still Standing" and "Kiss The Bride". Yet Alan said it was the debut. This makes no sense given "Too Low For Zero" was released in 1983. I check the billboard charts and see "I'm Still Standing" on the chart in the late spring. However, when I check Wiki I see "I Guess That Is Why They Call it the Blues" as the first release. I think this is in error unless they released that first in Europe or something. I guess we know where Alan Hunter does his research.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Holy shit! That was 10 years ago, I think that one was a more recent discovery. Even though it's now 30 some years old.
Billy Idol "Rebel Yell" #46 PEAK
Yeah this surprises me too, I thought the song was bigger than that. It also surprises me that "Eyes WO A Face" made #4. I had no clue that one was so huge. I woulda thought they'd both peak around #30 like "Flesh 4 Fantasy" did.
Night Ranger "(You Can Still) Rock In America" #51 PEAK
I woulda thought this would scrape the top 40 for a week and day.
Motley Crue "Looks That Kill" #54 PEAK
Sounds about right. But being the song that kicked their career into high gear, I woulda thought it woulda topped the Rock Chart. But nope, only reached #12. The bigger surprise, however, is that "Home Sweet Home" peaked at #89. I woulda bet money that song was a top 40 hit, but alas didn't even come close. Can't believe that one tanked, but "Smokin' In The Boys Room" went top 20. I woulda thought the opposite.
Bette Midler "Beast Of Burden"
Sure is the Stones! I remember the video back in the day featuring Mick Jagger. Bette stradles Mick and says something like "Stay and watch me perform your song!"
Elton John "I Guess That is Why They Call it the Blues"
I thought the exact same thing. I've seen many instances where their research relies exclusively on Wikipedia. "Standing" peaked in July 1983. "Kiss The Bride" peaked in October 1983. "Blues" peaked in January 1984. I knew he was wrong simply because I moved from NH to Mass at the end of summer 1983, and I remember listening to "Standing" in NH and "Blues" in Mass.
Michael Jackson "Thriller"
Yeah I was surprised when I learned "Thriller" didn't hit #1 too.

I liked more songs than I usually do for a 1988 countdown. I guess that it's early in the year helped.
I like that Depeche Mode song a lot also.
I like that Depeche Mode song a lot also.
My two cents: The 40 wasn't too intriguing for me. Most of the songs are pretty well known.

I remember this video was heavy rotation.
#60 Elisa Fiorillo "How Can I Forget You"
I wasn't aware she had more songs like the 100.
#63 Prince "Hot Thing"
I wasn't aware this was released as a single. I don't think there was a video for this one.
#69 REM "It's the End of the World as We Know It"
I'm surprised this didn't make the 40.
#76 Depeche Mode "Never Let Me Down Again"
I'm really surprised about this one too.
#89 Pepsi & Shirlie "All Right Now"
I had no idea they charted in the US. They were backup singers for Wham.
#94 Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle "Without You"
This came before A Whole New World which is interesting.
#95 Eurythmics "I Need A Man"
This was cool song.
#100 Georgio "Lover's Lane"
He wasn't too talented.
