I sold my copy about a year ago for CAN$23.00 (about
US$17.00), which I'm pretty sure is the most I've ever sold
a 1980s 45 for.

In Canada the song reached #85 on the RPM chart
(which combined sales and airplay) and #39 on the sales
chart of The Record (which always had separate sales
and airplay charts).]]> Mon, 25 Mar 2024 09:05:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64600&title=reentry-mysteries#64600 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64586&title=reentry-mysteries#64586 Author: Paul Haney

MTV would play the Rodney Dangerfield version a lot. I bought it, but to
my surprise, it never charted. I think Rodney phoned this one in unlike
“Rappin’ Rodney.” Also, whose idea was it to release “Surfin’ Bird” by Pee
Wee Herman, as a single. Obviously, it was because of the movie “ Back To
The Beach.”]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 04:21:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64585&title=reentry-mysteries#64585 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64584&title=reentry-mysteries#64584 Author: Paul Haney

Also the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back To School.

It looks like we're going to repeat the list of "tag along" B-sides that we printed in the 2016 version of the Pop Annual. It's
too late in the editing process to change our program. We want to have this book printed by June.]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2024 04:45:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64576&title=reentry-mysteries#64576 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64564&title=reentry-mysteries#64564 Author: RoknRobnLoxley

Excellent solution Paul, I very much like this eye deer !! I'm also interested in how 1969 and after flip sides will be
treated in this new Pop Annual. Such as, "Come Together/Something" and "The Long And Winding Road/For You Blue" were both
treated differently in the previous 1999 and 2011 Pop Annuals. With "For You Blue" even being absent from the annual part of
the 2011 book, but was shown in the title index as a flip. (I would prefer that if both sides showed up together in a BB
chart position, then that's how they would show up in the Pop Annual, but eye don't no nuthin'...)

Thanks for all you do !!]]> Fri, 15 Mar 2024 07:45:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64564&title=reentry-mysteries#64564 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64562&title=reentry-mysteries#64562 Author: torcan

If you're asking "how many Weeks On Chart were shown on
the printed chart", then it all depends on the era. From
approx the early '70s to the mid-late '80s, whenever a
song re-entered, it always started over again at 1 -
meaning the total weeks on the chart were not actually
correct. (There were rare cases where they showed the
combined total. "Baby Come To Me" is one of those cases,
but they didn't do it for quite a while).

Starting in the later part of the '80s, whenever a song
re-entered they showed the total combined weeks - as long
as it was the original recording or a remix. If it was a
newly recorded version, then it started at "1".

Same was true on the album chart but they started showing
the combined weeks much earlier - around mid-1983.

I think it all had to do with the Chart Director. The
famous Bill Wardlow didn't seem to want to do it, but
when Tom Noonan took over, that's when things started
making more sense.]]> Thu, 14 Mar 2024 13:48:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64562&title=reentry-mysteries#64562 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=64557&title=reentry-mysteries#64557 Author: Paul Haney

We always consider the Christmas songs to peak in December, even if the actual dates fall to early January.
