[net.records] Top-n countdown

emil (11/21/82)

How about a top-40 listing of most popular songs, records, etc.  I don't mean
a vote, but actual Billboard statistics (I don't subscribe).

For the week ending Nov. 20, 1982

1. Up Where We Belong - Jennifer Warnes & Joe Cocker
2. Truly - Lionel Ritchie
3. Heart Attack - Olivia Newton-John
4. Gloria - Laura Branigan
5. Heartlight - Neil Diamond
6. Mickey - Toni Basil
  
9. Maneater - Hall & Oates
10. Muscles - Diana Ross

I don`t remember what 7 & 8 were.  I also don`t subscribe to Billboard,
it costs > $100 per year!  I do listen to American Top 40 every week.
If you`re not familiar with it, it`s a syndicated radio show that counts
down the 40 biggest songs of the week according to BILLBOARD, hosted
by Kasey Kasum.  In Chicago, it`s on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
WLS-AM (890).  Check around in your area, I`m sure somebody has it.

Incidentally, Up Where We Belong has been #1 3 weeks now, and it`s the
first #1 for both Warnes and Cocker.
