I thought it would be fun to look at the 10 songs outside the Hot 100 from 6/12/1982. I looked up some information on the songs too.

Bubbling Under The Hot 100
#101 Meco "Big Band Medley” - (peaked at this position)
#102 Scorpions "No One Like You” - (entered the 100 the next week at #89)
#103 Junior "Too Late" - (R&B and UK hit, but peaked at #102)
#104 Larry Graham "Don't Stop When You're Hot" - (peaked at #102)
#105 Buckner and Garcia "Do the Donkey Kong” - (peaked at #103)
#106 Split Enz "Six Months in a Leaky Boat” - (peaked at #104)
#107 A Flock of Seagulls "I Ran” - (entered the chart on 7/17/1982 at #86)
#108 Jethro Tull "Fallen on Hard Times” - (peaked at this position)
#109 Bonnie Raitt "Me and the Boys” - (peaked at #104)
#110 Randy Crawford "One Hello” - (peaked at this position)

Any surprises with the entries? Are there any songs that should have charted higher?

A few more observations:
  • Only two songs from this week entered the 100.
  • "I Ran" bubbled under for five more weeks before entering the 100.
  • "Too Late" is my pick for a song that should have made it into the 100.
  • "Do the Donkey Kong" is a follow-up to "Pac-Man Fever". Both were not good songs.

Good 13
Okay 9
Bad 18

All seven of my potential guesses were in the top 30. That makes up for all 5 of my 1978 guesses not being on the Hot 100 at all.

40. ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY - GREAT WHITE
39. DOWN BOYS - WARRANT
37. LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - BON JOVI
21. COMING HOME - CINDERELLA
8. CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER - LITA FORD AND OZZY OSBOURNE

I miss seeing hard rock on the Hot 100. It sucks when a few songs with guitar make it into the top 40 and it's a news headline as a "significant moment" (this is from the UK)...

While the charts have been dominated by rap and pop in recent years, Olivia Rodrigo’s four-weeks-and-counting spell at Number 1 with Good 4 U on the Official Singles Chart appears to be ushering in a wave of rock-inspired hits to the Official Singles Chart.

Rodrigo's pop-punk hit is now the longest-reigning rock influenced chart-topper since 2003, when Evanescence spent four weeks at Number 1 with Bring Me To Life.

Two more entries in this week’s Top 40 are waving the flag for the genre: Italian rockers and Eurovision winners Måneskin climb into the Top 10 for the first time at 7 with I Wanna Be Your Slave, and Willow (as in Willow Smith) enters at Number 33 with pop-punk track Transparent Soul ft. Travis Barker.

It’s a significant moment to see three guitar-driven songs in the Top 40 in 2021, two of which are firmly situated in the Top 10.

26. TOY SOLDIERS - MARTIKA

At least one of the other two playing guessed this one.

11. ROCK ON - MICHAEL DAMIAN
2. WIND BENEATH MY WINGS - BETTE MIDLER

Forgot about these two. Also forgot "Batdance" at #53 and "Like A Prayer" at #56.

4. SATISFIED - RICHARD MARX

My choice. I'm a winnah! It'll be #1 next week. Not bad for a span where there's a new #1 song seven weeks in a row.

1. I'LL BE LOVING YOU FOREVER - NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

#46 Cure "Fascination Street"
#50 Queen "I Want It All"
#87 REM "Pop Song 89"
#98 10,000 Maniacs "Trouble Me"

It's a surprise (and a sin) these didn't break the 40.

#67 Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock "Joy & Pain"
#92 New Order "Round & Round"
#99 Skid Row "Youth Gone Wild"

Like these ones, but not surprised they aren't top 40s.

Will never reach the top 40
