Chart drops or busters:

TW LW Artist/Title
-- 104 Dana Valery/I Don't Want To Be Lonely [This son bubbled for two weeks, charted for five, then returned to the bubbles for one week before trailing off.]
-- 105 J.D. Souther/White Rhythm And Blues
80 106 Karla Bonoff/Baby Don't Go
-- 107 The Inmates/The Walk
-- 108 Instant Funk/Bodyshine
-- 109 Alan Parsons Project/You Won't Be There
-- 110 Pearl Harbor And The Explosions/You Got It (Release It)

Comments:
  • There are seven bubble debuts this week.
  • "Stomp" is a rare bubbles success!
  • We have a few number #1s from other charts in this week's bubbles.
  • Vaughn Mason later formed an early house group called Raze. Raze had success in the UK and the US dance charts.
  • I was surprised to see the disco tinged "Don’t Cry for me Argentina" in the bubbles. Festival doesn't have a wiki page, but their album, Evita - all cuts, was on the disco chart at #4 (down from #3 the previous week).
  • "I don't Need you Anymore" was from a 1979 movie called Together? staring Jacqueline Bisset.
  • I saw a documentary about Phyllis Hyman's life. She was signed to Arista years before Whitney Houston. Clive Davis wanted to mold her, but Whitney ended up filling that role.

Playlist:
 
MAR 89

EARLIER
Phil Collins "Two Hearts"
Sherif "When I'm With You"
Bobby Brown "My Prerogative"
Paula Abdul "Straight Up"

Debbie Gibson "Lost In Your Eyes"

Mike + The Mechanics "The Living Years"

LATER
Bangles "Eternal Flame"
Roxette "The Look"
Paula Abdul "Forever Your Girl"

Phil Collins "Two Hearts"

That song to me is to Phil Collins what Jack and Diane is to John Mellencamp. Overplayed and not worth the play it gets.

When #40 started playing, she thought it was #14. I never noticed the similarity before.

13 25 ROXETTE - THE LOOK

My friend's kid guessed this one.

04 08 BOBBY BROWN - RONI

Both Nina and Alan pronounced it 'ronnie'. It's a long O like 'macaRONI'

01 01 DEBBIE GIBSON - LOST IN YOUR EYES

I guessed this. So did my friend's old roommate.

At 12 noon on Valentine's Day 1987, album rock KMET 94.7 in Los Angeles switched to what was then called "new age" music as KTWV, "The Wave." End Of The Line was the last song they played. The first song played on KTWV was Sting's grammatically incorrect If You Love Somebody Set Them Free. KMET listeners were not amused by the song's message. Here is an extended remix of End Of The Line:

Am I reading this wrong? "End Of The Line" came out in 1988. How did they play it in 1987?

Not much of a surprise, but it has great staying power for a low charter.

I didn't hear it until SXM. I wish I'd heard it back then!
 
Mister sadchild, my memory is not what it used to be. It was 93.1 KNX-FM that played End Of The Line just before switching from "mellow rock" to oldies as KODJ. That was on March 2, 1989. It happened at 12 noon. At least I got that part correct! Here is the changeover:



The last song – or songs – played on KMET was the Beatles' Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.
