Checking to see what kind of record that is.<br /><br />(Note: because of the "frozen" chart on January 2nd held over from year's end, Whitburn credits the song with four weeks at number 65)<br /><br />For the entire decade of the Eighties, it was the only song to spend four weeks at 65 which is, indeed, a record for the decade.<br /><br />Over on the Cash Box Top 100, the single debuted the same week with this chart life:<br /><br />93-91-90-81-74-68-68-68-68-66-75-87<br />(the two 68s in the middle are "frozen" charts as well as Cash Box gave its staffers an extra week off during the Winter holidays)HERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361888365133381438noreply@blogger.com
