"In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel was the fourth OE on this week's countdown from 9/13/86-It was supposedly written about actress Rosanna Arquette whom Gabriel was dating at the time.

I noticed an error during the question about the song falling the farthest from the Top 40: Casey said that Even the Nights Were Better had peaked in March of 1982 before falling from #6 to #42 a couple weeks later; they must've gotten it confused with Sweet Dreams which did peak in March (the 20th). Even the Nights Were Better peaked on the 9/4 show and fell off on 9/25, which is the show we could be hearing in a couple of weeks. Was going to ask - what is the current record for furthest fall in a week since 1985? Is it still Air Supply or did it change?

Heard it a lot that summer, surprised it didn't once again make the 40. In one of those similar title coincidences, three weeks later Stevie B peaked at 37 with "In My Eyes".

Ah...a near-duplicate of the "Super Bowl Shuffle" result. 7/8/89 had six debuts, with five out of the six jumping over Peter Gabriel to get there. (The sixth was, oddly enough, the week's highest debut, having been #41 last week - Peter crept up just one to #41.) On Cash Box, however, it did make it back in, sneaking in for two weeks at #39.

It’s one of those songs that never gets old for me. You would think it was Top 10 given how popular the 1989 John Cusack movie “Say Anything” and the cultural impact that scene where “In Your Eyes” plays in the background while John Cusack’s character holds a gigantic boombox over his head but that song peaked at #26 in 1986 and then re-released in 1989 and only reaching #41. Back to the 1986 show. I was very entertained by the Paul McCartney and the Chicken story lol.

But never made R&R's Top 40 in Summer 1989 for a second go round, but during a Summer 1989 Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 show, was "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel played as an EXTRA/request or sure shot? I bet Rick didn't do the same for a late 1989 Weekly Top 40 show of the reissue of Moving Pictures' 1982-1983 "What About Me" which also missed reaching the top 40 reaches again for the reissue.

Did Casey ever make a correction regarding the Air Supply song that was mentioned on this week's presentation from 9/13/86?

So some way out there trivia about one of this week's 1986 extras. There is an episode of The Love Boat from 1978 (season 2 ep. 4). One of the characters played by Grant Goodeve (of Eight Is Enough) is having a long delayed honeymoon with his wife played by Bess Armstrong. The basic plot is they got married and then he got sent off overseas for two years while in the military so they are finally on their honeymoon. He seems rather distant towards her throughout the episode. Near the end he says that something has changed between the two of them. He then sort of blurts out that he had an affair while overseas. His wife doesn't seem overly upset. He then says "I know it was wrong, but I, I was lonely and I, I...." She then says "You were human". He lets out a sigh and says "I'm so sorry" She says "Well, I was human too".
Now I can't find anything that says the song was in any way inspired by this episode, but I mean come on!!!

Unpopular opinion:Point Of No Return by Nu Shooz is a much better song than the higher charting and better known I Can’t Wait.

Related to the same countdown, whether it's unpopular or not I'll say that Berlin's earlier "No More Words" and "The Metro" (not a top 40 hit) are much better songs than the boring chart topper "Take My Breath Away".
