20 23 SUPERTRAMP - DREAMER
This guy gives Jon Anderson a run for his money.

I used to think of a fake dancing gopher when I heard this one. Now I think of the scene from Yacht Rock.

Notes:
I picked a couple of these (above) because they went along with movies.

(23) 20. DREAMER - SUPERTRAMP - This seemed odd, as it's from Crime of the Century, which came out in 1974 or so. But this version is from a live album.

They re-released the live version of "Dreamer" in 1980 which is the version that charted. The VJs did correctly play the live version in the countdown.

I didn't see that one coming. I can't even remember the song.

Three surprises!
#94 Genesis "Turn It On Again" - I expected it to top out around 25 or 20.
#98 Kings "Switchin' To Glide/This Beat Goes On" - I thought it would have made 40 or maybe 35.
#100 Peter Gabriel "Games Without Frontiers" - I thought this could have made it to 15 or even 10.

I thought that's what I said.

When I see the countdown I see a song that's out of place (because it just says Dreamer). And yes, the live album came out in 1980, but it's an old song.

You did not sound definitive in your wondering.

My point is that just seeing the song in the countdown (without any mention of a "live" version) seemed odd, so I looked it up. I still find it odd that a song that didn't get much notice when first released in the US became a hit 6 years later with a re-release.
 
NOV 1984

EARLIER
John Waite "Missing You"
Prince "Let's Go Crazy"
Tina Turner "What's Love Got"
Stevie Wonder "I Just Called"

Billy Ocean "Carribean Queen"
Ready For The World "Oh Sheila"
Wham "Wake Me Up Before"

LATER
Hall & Oates "Out Of Touch"
Madonna "Like A Virgin"
 
Before listening to the VJ, and without looking at any new posts here, and before making my guess, I realized "Oh Sheila" is 1985 not 1984.

Revised:

NOV 1984

EARLIER
John Waite "Missing You"
Prince "Let's Go Crazy"
Tina Turner "What's Love Got"
Stevie Wonder "I Just Called"

Billy Ocean "Carribean Queen"
Wham "Wake Me Up Before"

LATER
Hall & Oates "Out Of Touch"
Madonna "Like A Virgin"
