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 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".) "Fat" was Weird Al's lowest Hot 100 charted single ever.

Weekend of 5/23... 5/24/86!! www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1986-0524.pdfLast played 2019 w/extras: "Mad About You" - Belinda Carlisle "Like A Rock" - Bob Seger & The SBB "If She Knew What She Wants" - The Bangles "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" - Jermaine Stewart This is a great set of extras. I was surprised If She Knew What She Wants wasn't a bigger hit.

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. 🙂 And Casey guessed correctly regarding the song's 'momentum', as Jazz-hating Johnny did indeed go back up to #2 the following week, where it would remain for one more week before falling to #4. Shades of "Louie, Louie" in December 1963/January 1964!

On this week's show, Lita Ford didn't get a break, but she did get high. I don't think I have ever heard a half-edited version of "Kiss me Deadly" before.

The first weekend of June falling on June 1 it's possible a May show could air that weekend, so maybe 5/31/80 could air? I think this is rare so probably not likely. Maybe 6/5/82?

Personally, I'd rater that 1982 waits even a week beyond 6/26 just so we won't be stuck with Charlene...

What was with the weird pronunciation of “Me”? (As in “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard) Casey pronounced it like “may”: I just found that bizarre.

Maybe just having some fun imitating Joe Elliott's pronunciation. At least the full song was played; a few years ago Premiere edited it down, cutting out the rapped bridge. Casey outroed it that time by saying that Def Leppard were "rocking, rolling, and a little British rapping", but we didn't get to hear that last part. Of course that's not the only song to pronounce "me" as "may". Justin Timberlake does that in 'N Sync's "It's Gonna Be Me" (an AT40 #1 in 2000), which eventually became a meme that reappears this month every year.

Terence Trent D'Arby Heavyweight champion story as well as music career 5 duos 9 acts Band #1 for cities, especially Miami Sound Machine! Speaking of which, the question about acts whose name included the name of a city to hit #1 was partially wrong. Casey forgot The Kingston Trio, who hit #1 in 1958 with "Tom Dooley". I seem to remember hearing another show where either he aired a correction adding them or the same question was asked and he DID remember to add them. Also, the Hollywood Argyles may have named themselves after "Tinseltown" but it isn't a city; it's part of Los Angeles. Hollywood Florida, however, IS a city (it's the home of Fort Lauderdale Airport) so they would still count.
