Today's AT40...

is March 29, 1986, 2/3rds through my sophomore year, slowly pulling myself out of the typical depression of that age.

Last Week

• 3 Secret Lovers - Atlantic Starr (bleh)
  
• 2 Sara - Starship (I liked it then...I got over that), down from #1 the week before that
  
• 1 These Dreams - Heart (Still have a fondness)
  

And this week
( 40-21... )

And into the top ten we go...

• 10 Loverboy joins the ballad-band bandwagon with This Could Be The Night.
• 9 Sly Fox's Let's Go All The Way.  Really never did "get" this one.  Still don't.
  
• 8 Mickey Thomas's Starship's Sara starts its rapid descent, falling from #2.
  
  And just when you thought I could go a week without a mention of the "where's your fucking guitars, man", Foreigner's I Want to Know What Love Is ended up a long distance dedication.  *sigh*.  As inescapable as "I Will Survive"...
  
  ...ok, maybe not.
  
  
• 7 Elton John's song about a girl named Nikita (nevermind that, as anybody who watched pop-up video knows, that's a boy's name in Russia...was Elton hinting at something back then? ;) )
• 6 INXS smash their way to a renewed fame with What You Need
• 5 My absolute all time least fav Prince song ever.  And I do mean that.  Kiss.
• 4 John Cougar Mellencamp's ROCK in the USA.
  
  odd memory associated with this: at the time, the PE class was "conditioning", where we were alternating between weight-room and aerobics.  This song was one of the songs we did Aerobics to, so it sticks out with that.  Similarly, last week (and maybe this week's) #1, These Dreams, I first really got to hear playing over the radio in the weight room, so as soon as I hear it, I think of that room (and how embarrassingly skinny I was at the time).
  
  
• 3 Atlantic Starr are still holding at #3 with Secret Lovers.  meh...
• 2 Nope, Heart drops to #2 with the Nancy Wilson led These Dreams

making the new #1...

1. Falco's Rock Me Amadeus

And with that, I'm back to cleaning.  later, all...
