Mr. Michaels, I'm glad to see how much a small little runt like me can tick off a big city jock like you. That's proof this site NEEDS a guy like me.
SO GUESS WHAT!!! I'm gonna be the stingray barb you can't pull out of your hide!!! (And you know what it did to the Crocodile Hunter.) And I'm gonna LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!

Typical trash, keep showing how ignorant fans of hip hop are. It makes my day. And I'll just keep correcting all of your errors on here. God knows there are plenty!

Just finished with 8-28-82 with original commercials. Good lord, did advertisers really need to use mostly valley girl sounding women? As for the countdown. Amazing as alot of early 80's shows are. A great variety which is how radio should still be.OMG! :-O LMBAO! :-D No wonder pop radio was in the toilet in 1982! We had hundreds of US disc jockeys with this kind of mentality running the airwaves. With that, I say thank God for MTV for righting the ship a little bit. As far as variety goes, the corresponding chart week in the UK is a true definition of the word. The entire top 10 for the US had absolutely no variety whatsoever. As my NYC cousin once crudely called it "white boy music." FYI, just because *you* don't like something doesn't mean it was in the toilet. I loved pop music in the early 90s but it was losing it's appeal as evidence by the stations who stopped playing what I liked. I can point out that what I like does not mean it's reflected in the world around me. And I find the term "white boy music" as much racist as I found what my mothers now dead husband called rap.

I was listening to 1976 AT40 earlier today.Great tunes .As others commented .I personally lost interest in the late 1980's when rap started into the mainstream top 40 charts.I could not handle grunge rock of the 1990's .The 1990's was probably that last era of true country music that I enjoy .After listening to Bob Kingsley's CT40 and Kix B's countdowns on the weekends and most of tunes sound like rock and roll.
I'm not condemning all of the current and the past 20 years or so of tunes. There are some good tunes from the 1990's and 2000's but not as much like from the 1950's to the late 1980's.I could do without the rap,hip hop,todays bubblegum music and heavy metal.Hahahaha it must be age .

Paul, my original statement was not a reflection of my personal taste in hit records, but an observation of the chart week in question. Like the prize fund of a bowling league, more than half of it usually goes to the top 10% of the teams. Radio airplay works much the same way. Therefore, the top ten records will get more than half of the spins allocated to current releases on pop radio. So when I saw what that chart looked like, I found his statement about radio variety laughable.
Second, the offending slang was uttered by my then 17 yo cousin. I've never forgotten she said this because while I was offended, I also understand why she did say it.

I don't understand it one iota anymore than the rap statement I made. I do not comprehend racist statements and do not entertain, listen to, debate, discuss, or acknowledge anything where race is brought in to something there was no issue. This for instance, when someone has made that comment before I ignore it and pretend they never said it because I'm not giving it any credence. Now all that sidebar out of the way...I guess I did discuss it somewhat in a roundabout way.
I still don't understand your point. The top 10 sales you love so much are also reflective of the most out of an entire chart. That's why they are the top 10. Maybe not 90% (I also find that highly exaggerated in terms of airplay in thay era as well) but it's still higher than everything else.

Paul, you have to realize that he has no idea about radio and how it works because he's never been in it.
Its more like the top 20 getting the majority of spins, but 21-40 get a fair amount. And if those wound up in the top 20, or even ten, then it renders his useless racist point of view, more moronic as a result.

In honor of Assbowl, I listened to the show from 8-29-81. Another top 40 with a great varied lineup of styles!

Ah! The week "Double Dutch Bus" fell off & "Super Freak" hadn't entered. A top 40 list consisting of album rock fodder, easy listening favorites, country strummers, tired rehashed oldies & watered down R&B.
Yeah! A PERFECT VARIETY FOR A COUNTRY BOY WITH NO FUNK! Try again, Mr. Michaels!

Try again, Mr. Michaels! Actually moron, I'm not a country boy and there was a good variety that week. Though the song in question wasn't really funky, Raydio could bring the funk much like my favorites The Brothers Johnson. I actually like good black music like said artists, Motown, of which I've done a 40 part radio show series on and not the corny novelty of Double Dumb Bus and current crap music. Nice try assclown.

Mr. Michaels, I mean exactly what I say. every "black" song on the chart that week by today's standards is watered down R&B ....including the Motown stuff. The real soul on the chart was below the top 40: DDB, SF, Square Biz, the group Change, etc. There was also no blues on the chart.
Plus, there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on the charts reflecting the recent death of Bob Marley! No Carribean music whatsoever! Considering the oversaturation of Beatle related material in the first half of the year, the best reflection of Bob Marley's genre is a new single by the Police!?!
Only a country boy would see this chart as great variety. I stand by my statement.

Only a true moron of your ilk would expect a man who had never hit the top 40 to suddenly chart after his death. To compare it to The Beatles shows your ignorance in spades!
I know, the white man was keeping the black man down that week on the charts. Darn us honkeys!
Lets look at this week, this years charts, hmmm. 85-90% pop and rap. LOTS of variety there!
