    HEAVY concentration of 80's in this set, 9 total! We have arguably the best pop band of the 21st Century hitting the countdown for the first time. A whole mess of songs with a chart peak position of #5, and a little note about peak positions at this point in the countdown. And a special segment on Heavy Metal Ballads, do you remember that time when they dominated the MTV airwaves and pop charts? Man, I do. Lots of 1 hit wonders in this set as well!
