Today John and Jason discuss three charts – or at least an overview of three charts – for the weeks of October 11th, 18th, and 25th, as not a lot of new music debuted during this time period.

For those keeping track at home, on October 4, 1980, John’s #1 Single was Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, the #1 Album was The Game by Queen, and the #1 Group was . . . surprise, surprise . . . Queen!

As much fun as it is to look back at John's charts that began the week ending August 23, 1980, it’s also interesting to see what music came BEFORE that first chart! On the year-end charts, 13 of the Top 20 Singles were released between January and August, and 9 of the Top 11 Singles were from earlier in the year. Also, 8 of the Top 10 year-end ALBUMS were released before the first chart.

Was this a case of John “just having more time to listen” to these songs and albums longer than those released AFTER August 23rd ... or something else?

On today’s episode, co-hosts John and Jason delve into Chart #3 for the week of September 6, 1980. For those keeping track, last week’s #1 Single was Queen’s “PLAY THE GAME” for a second straight week, and John’s #1 group remained Paul McCartney & Wings.

Also, there was one new debut this week that has caused Jason great mental strife and had him momentarily thinking that he and John could not work together on this project!
