It’s time for another edition of our show the Hit Song Redux where we travel back to a week in the golden era of the rock and roll and re rank the top 10 songs of THAT SPECIFIC week based on their legacy since THEIR PEAK POSITION ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100. with the actual artists commenting with your memories and dedications This program is a love letter to Casey Kasem’s american top 40… this time we travel back to this exact week in december of 1986.. and this week it’s anybody’s game…

Coming in at #10. the oldest song on the countdown. It went to #4 on the hot 100 and #1 on the R&B charts clear back in 1961 and was released in 1986 due to it’s use in a film starring River Phoenix Wil Wheaton, Cory Feldman and Kiefer Sutherland. It’s Stand By Me by Ben E. King.

coming in at #9 an 80s jam you may have forgotten about. Grefory Abbott with Shake you Down.

Sliding over the #8 spot Duran Duran with Notorious, the lead single form their album of the same name.

At the #7 slot this week in 86, we had the man who wore a whiplash Smile . The former frontman of punk outfit Generation X, It’s Billy Idol with To Be A Lover.

Coming in at #6 is Bon Jovi with You Give Love a Bad Name.

#5 We have a song that’s chorus had the band’s name in it and became a catchphrase that is indelibly tied to the decade of the 80s. It’s Everybody Have Fun Tonight by Wang Chung.

At the #4 It’s the NExt TIme I Fall from Peter Cetera and Amy Grant.

In at #3 It’s the man and his band who were coming off 2 massive #1 albums and #1 movie hit the year before. Both of his #1 albums had to do with Athletics.. Sports and Fore. It’s Huey Lewis and the nEws with Hip to Be Square.

In at #2 is a song that would keep going and be crowned as the biggest hit of the following year and it would become a defining fad of the late 80s and the dance moves are still being mimicked decades later. It’s the Bangles with Walk an Egyptian.

Ok it’s that time… Time to unveil the #1 song for this very same week in 1986. Drum roll please. It was one of the most unlikely #1 hit of the decade. It was serious song with an important message from an artist who doesn’t really get his due as one of the great american voices. It’s a song with one of my most familiar piano lines of the 80s Bruce Hornsby and the Range with the socially conscious hit The Way It Is.
