I tried to guess the top 4 songs this week. I thought it would be (1) ONJ (2) Foreigner (3) H&O (4) Police. I was wrong, but if I had made this guess two weeks from now, I would have been exactly right!

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Will never enter the top 40
#67 Triumph "Magic Power"
#85 Steve Carlisle "WKRP In Cincinnati"

This week's surprises.

SXM chose the -2 countdown instead of the +5 countdown which made your #1 prediction wrong.

All 3 of us (who guess each week) picked 'Physical' and were wrong. It's rare we all pick the wrong song together!

SXM almost never goes to the past for the 80s.
