One such song that is not in this 7/29/89 or any CT40 show is "Into the Night". Despite reaching #20 on the Hot 100, this did not crack the R&R CHR chart. Must have been sales that propelled that one and not airplay. You might think that - but no. "Into the Night" reached #25 on the Airplay chart used for the Hot 100 during this run - so, there really seems to be no real rhyme or reason why it didn't crack the R&R chart a second time. It apparently did surface in New & Active over there - but no further. The only thing I can guess is that somehow their station panel was insanely different or else otherwise the Billboard stations were reporting wildly more airplay for it than the R&R ones were somehow, for some reason...? It boggles the mind (it mindles the bog)...

1989 has to be known as the comeback year. Songs, artists and group names all made comebacks. Relative to how many a typical year has, songs making comebacks would have to be the most above average that year. There is one such song in this show, "Send Me An Angel", in this case a slightly redone version of the 1984 hit. One such song that is not in this 7/29/89 or any CT40 show is "Into the Night". Despite reaching #20 on the Hot 100, this did not crack the R&R CHR chart. Must have been sales that propelled that one and not airplay. If I had to rank the songs that made a resurgence in 1989 it would be tough. I think I will go: 1) Send Me An Angel 2) Into The Night 3) What About Me? 4) Where Are You Now? 5) When I'm With You It should be noted that "What About Me" didn't hit the top 40 in 1989, but it had a good run on the Hot 100 in 1989. A very good run, in fact. Also, we don't talk about it much but "Don't Tell Me Lies" by Breathe has a case for being a part of this group, even though it was new to us living in the US in 1988/89. If you include, "Lies" it would be for me second on this list, not far from Real Life.

Whitesnake hit late in the year with a slightly longer version of their 1980 hit which only reached #53 then, "Fool For Your Loving". Almost peaked at the same position on both charts...37 and 38.

Good catch! Fool would rank between What About Me and Where Are You Now on my list. I loved that song.

1989 also saw Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" rechart (and hit #41!) after being used in "Say Anything".

And I might be in the minority, but of all of the songs getting a second wind in 1989 this was my absolute least favorite and it's not even close. I mean, who wouldn't put Synch over one of the most revered songs of all time? As much as the world loves that song, I do not.

woolebull, a little confused. If you are saying that "In Your Eyes" is your least fave of those songs, I agree. But I could not understand what you stated after that. Sorry, my bad probably! And I am listening to a show too, one with only one re-released hit. It's the 11/17/90 AT40 with "Unchained Melody" spending its last week in the countdown. Then I think Shadoe makes a mistake. He says that with Ralph Tresvant debuting with "Sensitivity", that New Edition have become just the third group to have all of its members reach the top 40 outside of the group. Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe(themselves showing up just 3 hits later with one that I surprisingly did not remember, "I Thought it Was Me" ) and Johnny Gill representing the other members. He says that the Beatles and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were the first 2 groups to do this. But I think he forgot one...Duran Duran. Andy and John Taylor hit with Power Station and the other 3 members hit as Arcadia. In any case New Edition with 6 members is the largest group to pull off this feat. Shadoe did mention DD a few minutes later however when he said that Information Society was a cross between Duran Duran and the Beastie Boys.
In a sign of things to come about a year later when the Sneak Peek feature started, Shadoe gave an update on what Debbie Gibson was up to, reviewing her chart career and then playing a clip of "Anything is Possible" that had entered the Hot 100 that week at #75. And then a rarity for AT/CT40. An instrumental was played as the LDD, "Songbird".

No, my wording is weird and I couldn't make it come out better. I was trying to be sarcastic about having Synch over Peter Gabriel which I would think would be considered sacrilege to some, and absurdity by most others. All to say: I really, really, really, am not a fan of "In Your Eyes". The Hot 100 gods were up to tricks in 1989 in regards to #41: they gave me one of my happiest chart moments when "Eyes" didn't hit the 40, and they crushed my spirit when "Way To Your Heart" did the exact same thing! Also interesting to note: "Eyes" would hit R and R Top 40, yet somehow "Into The Night" did not. 1989 doing 1989 things I suppose... NOTE: Just checked the R and R database and apparently "In Your Eyes" did not make it onto the 40 there either. I could have sworn I heard a June 1989 Dees show with that song on it. Maybe it was a "Sure Shot" that never hit Dees in 1989?

And yet another one is "The Way That You Love Me". Reached #88 in 88! Less than a year later reaching #3.
Btw that Deee-Lite song you mentioned in the other thread is at its #4 peak in the 1990 show with Shadoe saying they are from New York City.

ETA: Just saw Mike's post; I wonder if my 6/10 show might be mis-tagged. Wouldn't surprise me; Dees' website giving incorrect show dates.

Relative to how many a typical year has, songs making comebacks would have to be the most above average that year. If cover versions count as songs making comebacks circa 1989, then Simply Red's #1 remake of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes that was originally a #3 hit in 1972.

And who would've had Michael Damian's remake of David Essex' 1973 "Rock On" on their Bingo cards as hitting #1?
