Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I always thought her version did better. It is a tolerable listen as opposed to Whiney's butchering of it years later.
This weeks surprises. The last 2 were played a lot here in Canada being Canadian bands.
Peaked at #38, #3 R&B
Peaked at this position, #3 R&B
I only knew the Jeffrey Osborne track which was much better than "The Woo Woo song".
I think the lack of awareness of these songs are two-fold. 1) The bottom of the forty usually contains songs that were in the process of being added to more radio stations. If the momentum didn't pick up, it may have resulted in a peak. 2) There may not have been very much music video exposure.

I didn't recall these so I had to look them up.
Devo is credited on this track which is interesting.
Interesting entry from a singer that first had success in the 60s.
I didn't remember this one either.
One of my favorites.
Donna was keeping her career going. I read she wasn't too fond of Quincy Jones.
Two more favs.

I saw several of these songs on the Bubbling Under charts while researching for this week.

Did you want to marry him!?!?! He's a stereo salesman!!!
Such a good song. It should have been close to 20.
I thought this would have made it to 30 or 25 or so.
I thought this would have been a top 10 song.

Agreed! Here's some backstory: DEVO and Jermaine Jackson team up for Halloween with ‘Let Me Tickle Your Fancy’
The 10 songs below the 100 from 8/21/1982:
Bubbling Under The Hot 100
#101 Stacy Lattisaw "Don't Throw It All Away" (peaked at this position, #9 R&B)
#102 Imagination "Just an Illusion" (peaked at the position, #27 R&B, #15 Dance, #2 UK).
#103 Stephanie Mills "Last Night" (peaked at 101, #14 R&B)
#104 Grand Master Flash "The Message" (entered the chart at #84 on 10/16/82, peaked at 62, #4 R&B, #5 UK)
#105 Odyssey "Inside Out" (peaked at #104, #12 R&B, #3 UK).
#106 Deniece Williams "Waiting by the Hotline" (peaked at #104, #29 R&B)
#107 Pete Townshend "Faces Dances II" (peaked at #105)
#108 Chris Christian "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing/You're All I Need to Get By "(entered the chart at #88 on 10/28/82 and peaked at this position).
#109 Stray Cats "Stray Cat Strut" (entered the chart at #43 on 12/25/82, peaked at #3)
#110 Tommy Tutone "Which Man are You" (peaked at #101)
Comments:
#101 - Stacy was 14 when this was released. The only thing she should have been throwing away is the garbage.
#102 - A fav of mine. I think it could have made it into the lower reaches of the 100.
#105 - Another fun track, but a little too dancy for the 100.
#108 - This track is credited to Amy Holland too.
#109 - It took a long time to enter the chart. I wonder what catapulted the song into the 100. Maybe video airplay.

When I first heard it, I thought "Is this Prince? No, can't be because 1999 is about to hit the shelves and this ain't on it."
If it was Jermaine’s idea to seek out DEVO, it was a good one, and Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale—introduced here as “Spud and Pud Devo”—gamely agreed to pitch in.
Speaking of Gerald Casale, he just released a new song and I like it
LOL
It went from Bubbling Under straight to #43? Wow! As Nina would put it, it went up a "whopping" amount.
I found this quote too; "And it was his idea to have the Devo members sing the backing vocals to enhance the new wave feel of the song."
This wasn't bad at all!
It fell off the Bubbling Under chart before its ascent. I took a peek at the Billboard Magazine for the week before and the song was only added to about five radio stations. It could have been due to a TV appearance too.

I thought it would be more fun. Too much Jermaine, not enough DEVO.
I would give MTV credit for their big jump in fame.
erp......I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Fun, but I want a little more hook.
Do you have coupons for Captain Hook's Fish and Chips?
This looks great. I'm going to check to out. I learned about Imagination through a friend. They were huge in the UK.I wouldn't be familiar with this group at all, except for having listened to this podcast literally just last week :

I agree.
This makes senses too.
Yep. The song was too mature in my opinion.
I missed a small detail. Bruce Springsteen wrote and produced this track.
