Hearing the intro, it sounds a lot like "(Why do you have to be a) Heartbreaker"
80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule
- Thread starter SIRIUSaboutXM
- Start date
It looks like "All the Loving in the World" was the last release from the Heartbreaker album. Both were produced by Gibb-Galuten-Richardson. I guess they were like "Yea....just use that other intro again...". LOL
Pretty sure I know the #1 song this week, but I have 4 candidates in there for anyone else trying to guess.
Also, I wonder if I came up with every 1989 chart-topper from memory. I might not be missing any....?

I think I like more songs on the 'Won't Make the..' list than I do the actual top 40.

I'm about the same for '89. I like a lot of songs from '89 but it's a very polarizing year because the bads are SO BAD. While the world was listening to Milli Vanilli, Expose, New Kids, Taylor Dayne, Rick Astley and Tiffany, I was listening to Cure, Love & Rockets, Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smithereens (and the resurgence of decent hair band music).

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
31 good for 1983.
No surprises from the bottom 60 for 1983.
Surprised "Holiday Road" didn't do better from the bubbling under for 1983. Great song.
3 good for 1989. Horrible countdown.

1989 surprises. Both songs better than most of the crap in the top 40.
I've got to be missing one or two in the later section. I think there's one before and one after Kris Kross down there. But all I keep getting in my head are Autumn 1982 songs like "Jack & Diane", "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" and "Abracadabra".
