- Start date
They did this exact same countdown last year.
My old notes:
80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule
New notes:
Good 7
Ok 7
Bad 26
My wife's too. She said it makes her feel the way I do when "Feliz Navidad" comes on *shudder*
34. NEVER LET ME DOWN - DAVID BOWIE
I can't stand Bowie's music from '83-'87. This is no exception.
24. IT'S NOT OVER ('TIL IT'S OVER) - STARSHIP
I prefer the earlier Chris Thompson recording from the Playing For Keeps soundtrack, a cassette my friend used to play over and over and over. Pretty mediocre soundtrack in my opinion, and long forgotten nowadays. Can't find half of its songs anywhere on the internet.
21. ONE HEARTBEAT - SMOKEY ROBINSON
Oof, terrible. I respect his earlier work but this was just awful.
20. U GOT THE LOOK - PRINCE
I like a fair amount of Prince's music, but I despise all 4 singles from this album. However, one of the VJs said my musical idol Robert Smith once said it's one of the best albums of the 80s?! Hmph, now I may have to give it a full listen start to finish...
#99 INXS "Good Times (from Lost Boys)"
Wow forgot about this one. The same friend who listened to Playing For Keeps a thousand times used to play the Lost Boys soundtrack just as often. #shortfatfrannysgonnabetheretoo
Won't ever reach the top 40:
#45 38 Special "Back To Paradise (from Revenge Of The Nerds 2)"
#49 Pointer Sisters "Be There (from Beverly Hills Cop 2)"
#54 Yello "Oh Yeah (from Secret Of My Success/Ferris Bueller's Day Off)"
#67 Hooters "Johnny B"
#73 Great White "Rock Me"
#85 Def Leppard "Women"
#99 INXS "Good Times (from Lost Boys)"

True. I actually didn't realize it was new for Ferris.
So is it a 1 hit wonder?

303 Yello Oh Yeah (85) 9/12/2017 11:58:45 AM
But as I've said many times lately, I disagree with them on their definition of 'one hit wonder'.
I mean, they play A Flock Of Seagulls, Eddy Grant, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Outfield, A-ha, Katrina & The Waves and Men Without Hats. And none of them are one-hit wonders in my opinion.

We heard this exact same countdown last year.

New notes:
Good 8
Okay 8
Bad 24
She still hit #1 on the Country chart 3 more times in the 80s, but her pop-crossover success faded over the next few years.
81 "Queen of Hearts" #2
81 "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)" #7
82 "Love's Been a Little Bit Hard on Me" #7
82 "Break It to Me Gently" #11
82 "Heart of the Night" #25
84 "Can't Wait All Night" #66
And every time I hear it, I can only think of this parody...
lol!
33. WE'RE IN THIS LOVE TOGETHER - AL JARREAU
I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it's a fun one.
17. THE BREAKUP SONG - THE GREG KIHN BAND
They really don't write 'em like that anymore. You won't find anything slightly resembling good ol' rock 'n roll on the Hot 100 these days.
7. ARTHUR'S THEME (BEST THAT YOU CAN DO) - CHRISTOPHER CROSS
Watched this movie for the first time since the 80s just last month. Still holds up.
#85 Meat Loaf "I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us"
We won't ever hear him on a VJ40. He had no top 40's between '78 and '92.
#90 Billy & The Beaters "At This Moment"
...but it will go to #1 five and half years later thanks to Family Ties.
Songs that won't reach the Top 40
#43 Debbie Harry "Backfired"
#49 Squeeze "Tempted"
#54 Don Felder "Heavy Metal"
#66 Art Garfunkel "A Heart In New York"
#68 Devo "Working In The Coal Mine"
#85 Meat Loaf "I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us"
#87 Dolly Parton "The House Of The Rising Sun"
#90 Billy & The Beaters "At This Moment"
#98 Jefferson Starship "Stranger"

I love me some DEVO!

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Too many weeks in a row to be a co-incidence. Next week last year was 1985? It's also not like they are not re-recording them. Last year they had Martha.
Surprised at Squeeze. I thought Devo would have also grazed the top 40.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
It's not bad outside a couple of songs (such as the one from Whiney). Unfortunately I will be away from a radio for almost all the replays.
1985 was a good year for pop music in movies. It was the peak of MTV that year as well.
