Optional extras for the week:
May 21, 1988:
Hour #1: "When The Children Cry" - White Lion Hour #2: "Chains Of Love" - Erasure Hour #3: "In Your Room" - The Bangles Hour #4: "Never Tear Us Apart" - INXS
Same as before. All are Shadoe/CT40 hits (from later 1988/early 1989) that aren't part of any chart Premiere normally plays.

I would have replaced one of these with "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" by the Moody Blues since the last 2 surviving members of the group passed away in recent months.

Not all the members are gone: Justin Hayward, Patrick Moraz, and John Lodge are still around. But your suggestion is a good one; I'd have replaced "When the Children Cry" (a well-intentioned song that I never could stand.)

Not all the members are gone: Justin Hayward, Patrick Moraz, and John Lodge are still around. All of the original 1964-65 'Go Now' era Moodies are now gone, including Denny Laine. Hayward and Lodge came aboard a couple of years later, while Moraz joined in the late '70s.

Indeed...a good idea by dth1971 and a terrible song in "When the Children Cry" (couldn't stand the song at the time and dislike it just as much today--fewer songs that will make me reach for the dial faster).

According to Billboard, May 21, 1988 was the first week in the 1980s that a song debuted at #100. In contrast, there were 2 songs on the May 15, 1976 chart that began its chart run at #100. Also, for the first time in several years, there was a song that dropped on the chart but maintained its bullet.

The song at number 3, which Casey even mentioned in his intro to "Shattered Dreams".
We know 1982-1983 gets a lot of this kind of talk, but this 1988 chart had some noteworthy occurrences. 🙂

I hate “When The Children Cry” but love the other three extras. “In Your Room” is an underrated Bangles song IMO.

Before the May 21, 1988 #100 debut, what was the last song in the 1970's to enter Billboard's Hot 100 at #100?

Also, for the first time in several years, there was a song that dropped on the chart but maintained its bullet. The song in question was the Smithereens' "Only a Memory", which only reached #92 on the Hot 100--but went all the way to #1 on the Rock Tracks chart. Just ahead of it, "Fat" by Weird Al Yankovic debuted at #99 and went no higher, but was successful otherwise with a popular video and a platinum album behind it ("Even Worse"--both the single and album title/cover were parodies of Michael Jackson's "Bad".)

In 1976, Casey mentioned the possibility of "Disco Duck" returning to the top. The song maintained its bullet twice. "Everytime You Go Away" dropped on the chart but maintained its bullet in 1985.
