You have the song before and the song after in your candidates. The actual #1 is missing completely from your list.

 

[HecticArt]

Of the four, I'd pick the last one.

I Like It reached #7 on the Hot 100 in August 1989. Dean Esposito, billed as Dino, had three other solo top-40 hits: Sunshine, Romeo and a remake of the 5 Stairsteps' 1970 hit Ooh Child. Dino reached #31 in January 1991 with Gentle, a duet with Delona Tanner. It's a remake of a minor 1985 hit by Frederick Davis and Janice Dowlen.

This Dino is not to be confused with Christian pianist Constantine "Dino" Kartsonakis, who has released 49 albums since 1963. On two of those he used the name Dino Kartsonakis. On all the others, he is simply Dino.

8 good/ok from 1989.

 

[Jon]

15. Not horrible for a late 80's countdown. A few favorites in the top 10.

34 39 DON HENLEY - THE END OF THE INNOCENCE
27 29 REAL LIFE - SEND ME AN ANGEL ’89
26 25 PAUL McCARTNEY - MY BRAVE FACE
17 13 TOM PETTY - I WON’T BACK DOWN
10 15 LOVE AND ROCKETS - SO ALIVE
03 01 FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS - GOOD THING

Best of the bunch for me. Maybe 13 good/okay overall

The real name of the singer of That's Amore and Everybody Loves Somebody was Dino – but he called himself Dean. The real name of the singer of I Like It is Dean – but he calls himself Dino. Go figure!

Lee Chan, the youngest member of the Korean pop band Seventeen, calls himself Dino – but it's pronounced "dī-no." It's short for Dinosaur, a nickname given to him by his bandmates because he dominates the stage.

I just noticed this. These are huge drops for all the former top 40 songs. They were in the top 40 and now not even in the top 70. And for all 8 drops.

I agree. This are pretty brutal.

40: TWO HEARTS - STEPHANIE MILLS

A #40 peaker (but we've heard it before). Teddy Pendergrass is featured. Whenever I hear his name, all I can think of is Eddie Murphy Delirious

The song Eddie Murphy sang is from "Only You". It peaked at #106 in 1978. It fared better on the R&B (#22( and Dance charts (#29).

25: FOOL IN LOVE WITH YOU - JIM PHOTOGLO

Wikipedia says he has two top 40s. Billboard says he only had one?

I found an old listing of "Were Meant to be Lovers" in the 40: Jun 26, 2016

 

[seasalt43]

Decent showing for Rush.

"Tom Saywer" peaked at #44 on 8/1/81.

I thought this would have been very close to 40. Maybe the low 50's.

"The Kid is Hot Tonite" peaked at #55 on 7/18/81.

 

[Channel98]

Speaking of "huge drops," Mister seasalt, following the death of Prince on April 17, 2016, eight of his 1980s hits returned to the Hot 100. Six debuted on the chart for the week ending May 7, 2016: Purple Rain was #17, When Doves Cry was #20, Kiss was #28, Little Red Corvette was #29, Let's Go Crazy was #39 and 1999 was #41. On the following week's chart, Purple Rain was #4, When Doves Cry was #8, Little Red Corvette was #20, Kiss was #23, Let's Go Crazy was #29 and 1999 was #27. Two more Prince songs returned to the chart: Raspberry Beret at #33 and I Would Die 4 U at #39.

One week later, all eight of those songs dropped off the Hot 100. They went from the top 40 to – dare I say it – "zero zero."
