A solid top 40 this week, 19 July 1986, as broadcast on SiriusXM 80's on 8, with a big week for emerging superstars:
Janet Jackson's found her "nasty" groove," at #3 with only her 2nd hit of a chain that would last another 15 years. Madonna was on album #3 of hits, with hit #10, in what would be her 4th #1 of 12. Belinda Carlisle has her first of many top 10 hits away from the Go-Go's, and Simply Red (marking the beginning of "sophisti-pop") had just fallen from #1 with their first hit, just behind Billy Ocean, still on his big run. Wham was on their way up with their last hit as a group.
Veterans were still doing very well -- regular long-time hit-makers Michael McDonald, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Van Halen, Kenny Loggins, Journey, Lionel Richie, and Bob Seger were joined by big hits from artists with roots to the 60's -- the Moody Blues (who had precisely one top 10 in the 60's, 70's, and 80's), Patti Labelle, and Peter Cetera with his first big hit away from Chicago.
Not much in the quirky MTV songs... a slightly retro GTR went big, serious cheese from El Debarge (whose family was one of the strangest successes of the MTV era), a Madonna-wannabe Regina was marching up to the top 10. Not much R&B, not much big-hair rock....yet
And in the top 2 positions, a veteran band having their one and only week at #1, and a former bandmate. Never happened before. In a few weeks, Peter Gabriel will be replaced at #1 by a namesake, Peter Cetera, which had not happened either.
In this sea of good, only a few favorites for me: Dreams, When the Heart Rules the Mind, Invisible Touch, Mad About You, Papa Don't Preach, Diggin' Your Scene, -- but Opportunities was my favorite of the week!
