80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule

Only 4 songs have changed since the countdown they did just last month. I didn't listen, I just did the 3-minute video.

My great/good/ok is 21 (again)

For lasvegaskid... each week there's a competition where my friend's kid, my friend's old college roommate, and I try to guess what the #1 song on the Big 40 will be:

04 06 INXS - NEED YOU TONIGHT
My friend's old room mate guessed this one

02 01 WHITNEY HOUSTON - SO EMOTIONAL
I guessed this one

01 02 GEORGE HARRISON - GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU
My friend's kid guessed this one

#83 Depeche Mode "Never Let Me Down Again" - It's a crying shame it didn't make it.

I've Got My Mind Set On You was first recorded by James Ray and the Davie Hutch Chorus and released by Dynamic Sound Records (#503) in December 1962. Harrison shortened the title and omitted some of the lyrics. Ray is best known for the early 1962 hit If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody.

 
Great album. Just listened to it for 100+th time last night.

We just heard these songs three weeks ago!
This is the third repeat in a row. Grrr.
I won't be listening AGAIN.
I think the order of all #1s for 1981 is this..

John Lennon "Just Like Starting Over"
Blondie "The Tide Is High"
Eddie Rabbit "I Love A Rainy Night"
Dolly Parton "9 to 5"
Kool & The Gang "Celebration"
Blondie "Rapture"
Sheena Easton "Morning Train"
Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes"
Stars On 45 "Stars On 45"
Rick Springfield "Jesse's Girl"
Diana/Lionel "Endless Love"
Christopher Cross "Best That You Can Do"

That should be everything from January to October?
I think they'll play the first five plus "Lady" and "Dust" from 1980.

Listened to the VJ countdown. Nina did the intro to "Celebration". She said this song needs no introduction. Then prattled off some facts about it. Fortunately she did give the name and artist because it then cut to the dumb voice over guy doing another bumper and right into the #11 song.
