80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule
- Thread starter SIRIUSaboutXM
- Start date
I thought about a few other things. #19 was the peak position for "Don't Stop the Music" which I thought was pretty high. The song was a #1 R&B hit too. It's interesting to see where #1 R&B songs land on the Hot 100. There are some that don't even bubble under.

Good 8
Okay 9
Bad 23
(17) 30. CELEBRATION - KOOL & THE GANG **
How could I forget this one in my list of 81 above?
(14) 20. THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL - ABBA
My wife says she wants to see Mama Mia again. I do not.
( 8) 9. KEEP ON LOVING YOU - REO SPEEDWAGON **
Not only did I forget this one, but Alan said it peaked at #7. Nope, it's a (as we say in New England) chaat taappaah.
( 5) 7. CRYING - DON MCLEAN
( 1) 2. RAPTURE - BLONDIE **

I had to say this in mind to get the total effect.
This song was a #1 R&B hit, but peaked at this position.
I don't think this one should have hit the 40, but I think it's an example of a song that may have fared better before the disco fallout.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
This weeks surprises/non-surprises. Rush is always a surprise but not since they only had 1 top 40. Yoko is a surprise to have actually made the hot 100. I have NEVER heard one of her songs played on any radio station anywhere.
I wrote the following on another forum: I knew “Walking on Thin Ice” was a club hit, but I didn’t know it cracked the 100.
I saw someone stated that the popularity of the song may have been spurred by John Lennon's death.
No surprises, but it's always good to see Rush on the countdown.
The new Alex Lifeson song from Envy of None is pretty good.
The song he does with Tom Morello is pretty good too.

Comments:
- I'm loving the sleeper yacht rock tracks bubbling.
- "Fool In Love With You" gets the cheesy video award for the week. It's good to see another bubbler hit the 40.
- "When Love Calls" is a quiet storm classic.
- "Foolish Child" is my favorite from the tracks that I hadn't heard before.
- I'm certain I've heard "You're Too Late" on Studio 54.

BTW my friend's kid went with "Bette Davis Eyes" (#33). My friend's friend went with "Rapture" (#2) like me, ending his 13-week streak of correctly guessing the #1 song. This week, he was only one week off. Nuts!

I was thinking I missed the 1980 one.
With the 1 week delay, they guarentee that they will have a repeat 1980 countdown.
