Holding at #15 on the Top Rock Tracks chart for April 20, 1985, "Inside Out" by Phil Collins climbed to its ultimate peak of #9 the following week.
There were two runners-up from that chart: "Trapped" by Bruce Springsteen, and "She's Waiting" by Eric Clapton.

This week in 1987 Gambler was at #36 in his final week on the AC chart. It should have would have been a bigger pop hit if released a few years earlier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzVtO47_EXo

A year earlier Kenny Rogers did a duet with Nickie Ryder (no relation to 1960's singer Mitch Ryder?) called "The Pride is Back" which was used for TV commercials for Chrysler and Plymouth cars in the 1985-1986 time that should have made the Billboard Hot 100 but WBBM B-96 Chicago had the song on its playlist in Summer 1986: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Rmjf62MWE

Here are two very well known songs that didn't make the Top 40 back in 1983.
From the April 23 Hot 100, "I Melt with You" by Modern English peaked at #78 the prior week and was now down to #91. However, it did reach #7 on the Top (Rock) Tracks chart.
And from that same week's Bubbling Under chart, "I Love L.A." by Randy Newman spent its second week at its #110 peak. The song would become more popular as the years passed, especially with L.A. residents despite its satirical tone.

Love "Inside Out" and the other 9 songs on No Jacket Required, my all-time favorite album by Phil Collins, I had its cassette tape that I'd played a lot back in 1985!

Steve Lukather lead guitar David Paich – Fender Rhodes, Farfisa organ Jeff Porcaro – drums Christine McVie – background vocals Lindsey Buckingham – background vocals The sequence of streets in the song was parodied in the 1985 song "Born in East L.A." by Cheech Marin. But instead of listing the streets sung by Randy Newman, listed are Soto Street, Brooklyn Avenue, City Terrace, and Whittier Boulevard, all streets of East Los Angeles.

Today's runner-up: "Monkey Gone to Heaven" by Pixies.

Spending its second week at its #103 peak on the Bubbling Under chart this week in 1984, Alisha's "All Night Passion" was also a #4 hit on Billboard's Dance/Disco chart.
