I love mornings when I hear a forgotten song on the radio. This morning, it was Chanson's "Don't Hold Back", courtesy of Legends 95.3.
I believe that before this morning, I had heard that one on the radio approximately zero times.
I don't think I'd ever heard Go West by the Village People on the radio ever in my life until today.
Not surprisingly, Legends 95.3 is to thank for that.
Listening to some old-school R&B this morning in memory of the now-departed @Jammin1015.
Slightly related question: can Denver really support *six* Christian stations?
Was very pleasantly surprised to hear "Get Used to It" on Legends 95.3 this morning. This brings the number of times I think I've actually heard this on the radio in my life to...2.
Happy Monday! I have found, to my dismay, that some links on my page are in need of updating and/or fixing. While this will probably be good in the long run, it does make it impractical to post a lot of "on this day" links until then.
More soon...I hope!
45 years ago this week, Ironhorse entered Billboard's Hot 100 with what would prove to be the group's only top 40 hit. You can definitely hear Randy Bachman's vocal stylings in this one.

45 years ago this week, Roger Voudouris entered the Hot 100 for the first and only time with a song full of yachty goodness. Interestingly, this song never even made the top 20 and yet still made Billboard's 1979 year-end Hot 100.

REPOST: Yes, I actually posted a new song, finally.
Jay Ferguson is likely best known for "Thunder Island"...and while I like that one, his second (and final) Hot 100 hit has fallen by the wayside.

29 years ago today, @ForeignerMusic entered the Hot 100 for the final time with a power ballad that, like many power ballads, did not have staying power on the radio.

NEW POST...also, I've apparently been away too long.

Had a friend recently say the worst thing to get stuck in one's head is anything by Taylor Swift.
It took all of my self-control not to respond with "it must be exhausting..."
NEW POST: Thought I'd try something new for 2024 and actually post something!
Today we're spotlighting a catchy, upbeat tune about a road trip in a rather unreliable vehicle.

If I had actively been playing Whamageddon this year, I would be out this morning thanks to a coworker not using headphones.
41 years ago today, Saga entered the Hot 100 with what would be the group's biggest hit...though that song never charted in Saga's home country.

46 years ago this week, Paul Nicholas peaked at #6 with a story song in which he only gets what he wants in his imagination. And yet, the song works.
