Up next we’re going to count down the top 10 songs of this very same timeframe from the year 1988. We have interviews and stories from the artists… as well as your stories and dedications. And then we’ll recalibrate them based on their all-time performance since then. It’s a great show with so many great songs a couple of artists who reached the coveted BILLION VIEWS CLUB and today’s Top 10 countdown may be the only one in music history to have the worst song of the 80s go up against arguably the best song of the 80s… See if you agree and who wins the battle. Coming up next on Professor of Rock.

As a child of the 80s, born in the 70s, and growing up in the 80s, I was raised on Casey Kasem’s American Top 40. I listened every week without fail, rooting for my favorite song to hit #1. Today we honor his memory as we count down the top 10 songs of this same time frame from the year 1988 and then we recalibrate them based on how many times they’ve been heard, streamed or watched on YouTube all of these years later to find out what is the real #1 hit!
Well after some tweaking, I’m ready to make this a regular feature, including your stories, your dedications and the actual artists commenting on their own songs, and then after we count them down you can listen to the playlist we’ve linked to below.
So here it is, we go back to this same week September 17th in the year 1988. Coming in at Number 10: there are only a few artists at this point who have had a music video top 1 billion views and two are in this top 10. Some artists that have done it so far are The Police, Wham, Guns N Roses, Michael Jackson, A-ha, and Mr. Rick Astley who is at the 10 slot with It Would Take A Strong Strong man, its peak position… It actually went to #1 on the AC charts and in Canada, from the Stock Aiken Waterman hit machine.. this was the third hit from Rick’s album Whenever You Need Someone after Never Gonna Give You Up and Together Forever both went to #1, this song’s is in the vein those old soul songs like Aint Too Proud to beg.
I give you fair warning… someone will get rickrolled before this is over.. this song has done so-so since its original release with about 7.5 million streams between YouTube and Spotify, far from Rick’s 1 billion views from Never Gonna Give You Up…
at the number 9 spot, we have a song that Def Leppard Lead singer said was a play on words, when somebody chews on your neck, you get a bruise, so in Britain the word for a hickey according to Joe is Love bites. From their mega album hysteria, and their first and only number one hit in the US. Guitarist Phill Collen said that everyone in the band was scared of this song because the vocal parts were so high. WE had a lot of people comment on this, Sean Smith says that the Hysteria tour was the first concert that he and his wife attended, while she was pregnant with their first child, a son who now loves Def Leppard…
viewer Jay a remember that his family had a stereo in their lounge room and they all rocked out to it.
