Rockpile seems about right, Supertramp seems higher than I expected, Bowie seems much lower, Skateaway a little low, and Horizontal Bop seems pretty low to me.
80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule
- Thread starter SIRIUSaboutXM
- Start date
#62 Supertramp "Breakfast In America"
#72 Dire Straits "Skateaway"
I was only 10 at the time, so I wouldn't know how big they were then. But looking back, I would think these could have been top 40s.
#77 Bob Seger "The Horizontal Bop"
Peaked at #42. That's why it seems low.

Wow didn't realize this charted so high!
3. Poison – Every Rose Has Its Thorn
I considered picking this for my #1, but ultimate chose "Look Away". Oops.
1. Bobby Brown – My Prerogative
My friend's son & roommate both picked this one. I got whooped again.
#80 Fairground Attraction "Perfect"
Massive chart-topping hit overseas. Not surprised it didn't make the top 40 here. I think it kinda sucks.
Won't make the top 40

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
These surprise me. They are infinitely better than 90% of the songs in the top 40 in this week.
I recall hearing this abomination frequently. Glad it did not break the 40 but a bit surprised.
This is the only shocker to me.
I thought a couple of other would do a little better, but not by a lot.
#72 Traveling Wilburys "End Of The Line" PEAK #63
#74 Alphaville "Forever Young" PEAK #65

I still thought it would have done better.
That was a sleeper that didn't seem to get noticed till Napoleon Dynamite.
Still better than I thought.
#76 Georgia Satellites "Hippy Hippy Shake" PEAK #45
I've hated every version I've ever heard of this song.

Not about this song (although its video plays at the beginning), I showed my son the video for "Gigolo/Got Nobody". At the end he said, "Thanks for wasting 4 minutes of my life".
...b-but I still think it's funny.
17: DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS - BAND AID
I have a big rule in my house. No Xmas music before Thanksgiving or after Christmas day. Otherwise I get sick of them. So this came on my family was celebrating that there was a Christmas song playing outside of that five week window.

My two cents for the week.... 
37: TENDERNESS - GENERAL PUBLIC
One of my favorite 80s songs. I remember taping this one on cassette while listening to the countdown.
36: MISTAKE NO. 3 - CULTURE CLUB
Glad this one made the 40. It was played on the Quiet Storm in my city too.
23: OPERATOR - MIDNIGHT STAR
Not a bad song, but surprised to see this one so high on the chart.
Will never reach the top 40
#48 George Benson "20/20"
I had to take a listen to remember this one.
#54 Temptations "Treat Her Like A Lady"
This one charted well in the UK.
#59 Bronski Beat "Small Town Boy"
I had no idea this charted in the US at all.
#64 Barbra Streisand/Kim Carnes "Make No Mistake, He's Mine"
I don't remember this one, but I like the pairing.
#75 Kim Wilde "Go For It"
Kim should have had more hits in the US.
#84 Eugene Wilde "Gotta Get You Home Tonight"
This one popular on the R&B chart and charted well in the UK.
#85 Paul Hardcastle "Rain Forest"
This was in heavy rotation on R&B stations. It peaked at #5 on the R&B chart.
#99 Frankie Goes To Hollywood "Two Tribes"
I completely agree with everyone. This is an amazing song that deserved more exposure.
