  • Summary

  • Yappin' about all the songs that peaked in popularity on the American pop music charts in "This Week In The 80s" - Labor Day Weekend! "Video Killed The Radio Star" by the Buggles was the 1st video played on MTV, but... what was the 2nd??? Remembrances of when I toured my first radio station.. at age 6! My Dad's $h!tbox truck. The ZZ Top stiff that gets played more nowadays than ANY of their actual hits. Lame white yuppie soul! The song that ended Whitney Houston's incredible streak of seven consecutive #1 hits. The weakest of all the Hall & Oates hits. The real reason Keith Sweat sounded so WHINY. The 1st rap "feature" to hit the pop top 10. The project that c-blocked a Beastie Boys masterpiece. PLUS- I will finally tell my own "MTV Story" - the one I've been referring to since the series started... 12 months ago! Warning: It not for the faint of heart! By the end of this episode, I'll have talked about EVERY song to hit the American pop music charts in the 1980s. All 4,166 songs!!!! The 1st time this has even been done in podcast form. There's more to come... After I take a nap! Meantime... Go re-live the magic and re-listen to Episodes #1-#51. I dare ya! Thank you all for listening. This has been fun! #TWIT80s.
