#TheNext40: Over 40 Players from Billboard Hot 100, Week Ending July 29, 1989

Hit Rewind 80s

With my weekly blog rewinding back to a single week in the 80s and focusing on Billboard Chart hits from numbers 41 to 80, I’ve become fascinated with how many songs on this list are those that I clearly remember (and have great memories)….and even more that I can’t seem to ever remember hearing on the radio.

With that spark of intrigue and curiosity, I thought it’d be cool to pull out all of those hits from my blog to bring some new love to what I’m calling the “True Lost Hits” of the 80s.  I’ll add in some thoughts along the way, and I’d love to hear your memories or stories from any of these songs.


#41 This Week:  It Isn’t, It Wasn’t, It Ain’t Ever Gonna Be – Aretha Franklin w/ Whitney Houston; Highest Chart Position: 41; Weeks On Chart: 8

And you can tell it makes him happy to do so. And that he’s also just clearly got a naughty streak to him!

Sorry, guys, I’m watching the drummer!Sorry, guys, I’m watching the drummer!

But when you get past that silly side, and watch and listen to him play – you’ll find an extraordinarily talented musician, whose…
