After a three week stay at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, "Channel Z" by The B-52's from Cosmic Thing drops from #3 to #25 for the week ending September 2, 1989. This B-52's song ended up on the B side of "Love Shack" (Their first of 5 Shadoe Stevens AT40 entries from 1989-1994 with the last B-52's AT40 song being "Meet the Flintstones" under the name the B.C.-52's).

At #88 this week in '88, "What's the Matter Here?" by 10,000 Maniacs from their album In My Tribe would go on to peak at #80 on the Hot 100.
Also from In My Tribe was their cover of Cat Stevens' "Peace Train", removed from later U.S. versions of the album due to Stevens' comments about Salman Rushdie and the Islamic fatwa against him.

I was a day late for this, but for the 9/11/2001 anniversary, I present this lost 1980's classic done in 1985 by a group of religious/Christian artists helping to raise money for African Famime Relief or something like that called the Cause with "Do Something Now": www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRWkgAD8GdMAnd here's another version of "Do Something Now" that's longer with extra commentary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKbuQbqVi4I

"Diamond Girl" (not to be confused with the 1973 Seals and Crofts hit) was at #23 on the Hot Dance/Disco - Club Play chart this week in 1986. It reached #20 two weeks later, and was the only hit on that chart for the freestyle dance act known as Nice and Wild.

I thought it was a better song than anything they hit the top 40 with....
