The Top 40 "Re-Poll" ... June 9, 1984 (VOTES TABULATED)

I finally finished tabulating the votes.

First off, the response was overwhelming and I thank everyone for that. I went into this hoping to get 15 ballots ... I got 44 overall.

I'll announce when the countdown will occur in advance if you want to join in. It should be fun.

 

When it announce it, will you intersperse it with a long-distance dedication?

 

More facts ...

-- Every single song on the ballot got at least one vote, evidence of the strength of this particular week. No song was unanimously selected. In fact, none were close.

-- Sixteen individual songs got number one votes. Sixteen songs also got worst votes (not everyone voted for their worst). Four songs got both a number one vote and a worst vote.

-- One teaser ... the song that got the most No. 1 votes did NOT take the No. 1 spot overall.

-- One more ... one song that got some of the most significant No. 1 vote consideration, got little consideration otherwise, putting it in the middle of the pack. It was, by far, the biggest statistical anomaly in the balloting.

When I can bloc out some time, we'll count 'em down.

 

About a little dog named Snuggles?

 

Dammit, if Sister Christian isn't No. 1 overall, I'll hunt you all down. [/byh]

 

I wasn't hip to this thread, but seein' as '84 was the year the former Mrs. Muscatel and I called it splitsville, a little short of two years, I wanted to contribute:

(sorry I missed the deadline Bubbler)

1. Eyes Without a Face
2. When Doves Cry
3. Legs
4. Time After Time
5. Heart of Rock & Roll
6. Rock You Like a Hurricane
7. Against All Odds
8. The Reflex
9. Borderline, I guess ...
boy it's going straight downhill from here ... the first five of the worst, startin' with the shittiest ...

1. The Longest Fucking Time, Billy Joel sucks rocks
2. Hello ... fuck no, goodbye
3. To All The Girls I've Loved Before, uh, I better not touch this one
4. Footfuckin'loose
5. Don't remember No Way Out, but Jefferson Starship truly blew in spectacular fashion ...

did I mention how much Billy Joel sucks?
can't hurt to do it again

 

That's a winner, right there.

 

How's your fantasy team doing, Buck?

*pause*

SHIT!!!!!

 

The league voted, and you are now required to change your team name to Belinda's Solo Show.

 

Sorry for the long bump here, but the AT 40 playing on XM right now is almost exactly the same as this one, but I think a couple weeks later.

 

I heard it too. Actually some of the songs were off the Cashbox poll I used by as many as 10 spots. I think the top 5 was pretty much the same though. Styx's horrid Music Time made that poll and didn't make Cashbox, a pity, because it definitely would be in the worst-of field.
