Good 18
Okay 9
Bad 13

NO BAD SONGS after #16. Great countdown.

36. SITTING AT THE WHEEL – THE MOODY BLUES
33. LADY LOVE ME (ONE MORE TIME) – GEORGE BENSON
32. DON’T YOU GET SO MAD – JEFFREY OSBORN
25. TELEFONE (LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR) – SHEENA EASTON
12. FAR FROM OVER – FRANK STALLONE
10. DON’T CRY - ASIA

Talk about your forgotten hits! I remember these from back then being pretty popular, but aside from channels/shows dedicated to 80s music I haven't heard them since '83. And I agree, that's a surprisingly high peak for Frank Stallone.

34. DON’T FORGET TO DANCE – THE KINKS

"Destroyer" (81), "Come Dancing" (82) and "Do It Again" (84) are so good! But this is so bad!

31. TONIGHT, I CELEBRATE MY LOVE – PEABO BRYSON AND ROBERTA FLACK

29. BIG LOG – ROBERT PLANT

This reminds me. I finally made a decision about ass-kodak vs cologuard. I went with cologuard.

4. MANIAC – MICHAEL SEMBELLO

Nina said the music director asked Sembello to 'slightly change' the words. Changing "And she's dancing like she never danced before" to "He will kill your cat and nail him to the door" is a small change??

1. TELL HER ABOUT IT – BILLY JOEL

I guessed right. So did my friend's old room mate. My friend's kid guessed "All Night Long" which came in at #43. It's very rare his kid picks a song outside the top 40, I'm shocked!

Will never reach the top 40
#44 Heart "How Can I Refuse"
#48 Animals "The Night"
#52 Donna Summer "Unconditional Love"
#59 SOS Band "Just Be Good To Me"
#60 Wham "Bad Boys"
#61 Kansas "Fight Fire With Fire"
#67 Midnight Star "Freak-A-Zoid"
#68 Beegees "Someone Belonging To Someone"
#71 Sergio Mendes "Rainbow's End"
#72 Al Jarreau "Trouble in Paradise"
#75 Jim Capaldi "Living On The Edge"
#76 Herbie Hancock "Rockit"
#77 Eddy Grant "I Don't Wanna Dance"
#80 Commodores "Only You"
#83 Eddie Rabbitt "You Put The Beat In My Heart"
#84 Crystal Gayle "Baby, What About You"
#85 Anne Murray "A Little Good News"
#86 Bette Midler "All I Need To Know"
#88 Berlin "Masquerade"
#90 Carly Simon "You Know What to Do"
#92 Styx "High Time"
#93 Cee Farrow "Should I Love You"
#94 Glenn Shorrock "Doin't Girls Get Lonely"
#95 Minor Detail "Canvas of Life"
#96 Graham Parker "Life Gets Better"
#98 Ronnie Milsap "Don't You Know How Much I Love You"
#99 Liquid Gold "What's She Got"

@sadchild - I'm not sure if you had time to dig around, but I found your "Will never reach the top 40" from the previous week.

I don't know when it was done but I had it in a .txt file and the only place I get those is when I save them with a VJ40. Date on the file is 2018/09/23.

Page 85. @Aaron posted this one.
