Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
This weeks surprises. They were all over the radio here. As mentioned before, the drummer from The Kings goes to my church.
80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule

This is the surprise to me.
I can see Rockpile bubbling under the 40. It was a good tune, but it didn't get a ton of airplay.
The 10 songs below the 100 from 11/22/1980:
Bubbling Under The Hot 100

Comments:
- I found the following information on Pendullum: "There is not a lot of information on this group but I've found that they were from Long Beach, California and were a trio. Two members were David Quintana and Paul Kenny. The group was signed to Venture Records and this single, written by Quintana, was issued. It seems Venture had some money problems and couldn't really promote the group. But it seemed to be enough to get this song on the chart. The group disbanded in 1982."
- "Uptown" should have made the 100.
- I'm surprised and saddened to see LaToya Jackson bubbling under.

When I think of Pendulum, I think of this one:
They later became Knife Party.
They later became Knife Party.
I ran across the newer Pendulum when I was researching. The old "Pendulum" used two "ll" at times which was interesting.
Don't know any of those songs on the Bubbling Under
Knife Party has a few songs I dig. "You blocked me on Facebook and now you're going to die...."
Surprised in a "she shoulda made the 100" or surprised in a "what the heck is she even doing bubbling under"?
Knife Party has a few songs I dig. "You blocked me on Facebook and now you're going to die...."
I knew "Uptown" and had stumbled upon ""If You Feel The Funk", but I didn't listen to it.
The latter. Her singing is atrocious and she should have never been allowed near a studio. Her name helped her to at least bubble under. I did listen to the track and it's the type of forgettable song that anyone could have sang. The musicians and back ground singers did do a good job and there was decent guitar solo.
LOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
It looks like this one is a repeat countdown (links below). This is one of the #40 peaks (Kim Carnes):
Good 18
Okay 5
Bad 17
The top 5 this week are the same as last week's chart. Interesting.
40: INVISIBLE HANDS – KIM CARNES
39: TIME WILL REVEAL - DEBARGE
38: READ ‘EM AND WEEP – BARRY MANILOW
Rough start. Goes to show even my favorite year of pop can have some real stinkers, especially 39 and 38 - yikes!
34: THE SMILE HAS LEFT YOUR EYES - ASIA
Certainly not their best work.
20: MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL – AIR SUPPLY
12: TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART – BONNIE TYLER
6: LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD – PAT BENATAR
Watched both literal version music videos for these again a few weeks ago. Still crack me up every time.
19: TONIGHT I CELEBRATE MY LOVE – PEABO BRYSON AND ROBERTA FLACK
5: CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE – QUIET RIOT
Hate it when they played the CHR edit (or whatever it is) of this song because it cuts out most of my favorite guitar solo of all time.
2: SAY SAY SAY – PAUL McCARTNEY AND MICHAEL JACKSON
My friend's kid guessed this one.
1: ALL NIGHT LONG (ALL NIGHT) – LIONEL RICHIE
My guess at #1. My friend's old roommate guessed this too.
Last week we all picked "Lady" as and it was #1, so a three way tie.
My friend's old roommate's guesses over the last 11 weeks: #1 #1 #1 #2 #1 #2 #2 #1 #1 #1 #1.
How the HELL am I supposed to compete with that?
Here's my last 11 weeks: #1 #1 #16 #2 #1 #16 #2 #17 #20 #1 #1.
Will never get into the top 40
#46 Paul Simon "Allergies"
#48 Pointer Sisters "I Need You"
#49 Jennifer Holliday "I Am Love"
#54 Commodores "Only You"
#61 Linda Ronstadt "What's New"
#65 Earth Wind & Fire "Magnetic"
#66 Moody Blues "Blue World"
#68 Rainbow "Street Of Dreams"
#69 Alan Parsons Project "You Don't Believe"
#71 Four Tops "I Just Can't Walk Away"
#72 Klique "Stop Doggin' Me Around"
#80 Alabama "Lady Down on Love"
#82 Saga "The Flyer"
#83 Eddie Money "The Big Crash"
#84 Men Without Hats "I Like"
#85 Talking Heads "This Must Be Place"

The 10 songs below the 100 from 11/26/1983:
Bubbling Under The Hot 100
#101 Anne Murray "A Little Good News" - (entered the chart at #96 on 9/17/83, peaked at #74 on for two weeks starting on 10/8/83, fell off the chart on 11/5/83, re-entered after bubbling under at #88 for weeks starting on 12/3/83, and fell off the chart on 12/17/83.)
# 102 Rick James "U Bring The Freak Out" - (peaked at #101).
#103 Atlantic Starr "Touch A Four Leaf Clover" - (entered the chart at #93 on 12/10/83, peaked at #87 on 12/24/83 for two weeks.)
#104 Rodney Dangerfield "Rappin' Rodney" - (entered the chart at #96 on 12/3/83, peaked at #83 on 1/14/84.)
#105 The Carpenters "Make Believe It's Your First Time" - (peaked at #101 on 12/10/83)
#106 Elo "Stranger" - (peaked at #105)
#107 Paul Rodgers "Cut Loose" - (peaked at #102)
#108 Streets "If Love Should Go" (entered the chart at #90 on 12/3/83, peaked at #87 on 12/17/83.)

#110 Grand Master Flash & Melle Mel "White Lines (Don't Do It)" - (peaked at #101)
Comments:
• Anne Murray's "A Little Good News" is the first time I've seen a song enter the chart, bubble under, then re-enter the chart. What a ride!
• Duran Duran remade "White Lines" in 1995. I think this is the first time that I recall a band remaking a rap song.
