13 Songs A Day - Issue #004

Been a week since the last chart.....plenty of songs swimming around in my head now.

Like this one at #13 by Genesis, 1986's "Land of confusion"

Next at #12 is the amazing Mary J. Blige, with her 1994 smash "Mary Jane(All night long)"

At #11 is a hiphop classic from 1990. Kool G Rap & DJ Polo had a #1 hit with the gritty "Streets of New York"

Ahhh, back to the early 80s for this gem. From 1983, this is Australia's Men At Work with "It's a mistake" at #10

At #9 is 90s R&B quintet Riff, the group who hit it big in the 1989 film Lean On Me, this is their Christmas Medley from 1991

Up now to #8, and it when it comes to music parodies, one name comes to mind. "Weird Al" Yankovic. This is his 2007 hip hop spoof, "White & Nerdy"

Halfway through the list, we finally have a returning song. From Caddyshack 2 and from the 2nd edition of this list, this is Kenny Loggins and "Nobody's fool"at #7

Reaching #6 today, up 2 spots from the last chart, this is Bad Company with their 1990 hit "If you needed somebody"

The top 5 starts now! John Waite had a few hits in the 80s on his own, this one "Change" was from the soundtrack to the 1984 flick Vision Quest....here he is at #5

Next up, at #4, is Oran "Juice" Jones and his 1986 smash "The Rain"

The top three of the day are next. *0s metal band Hurricane hit it big in 1988 with a few hits off their album Over the edge. This was their first hit, "I'm onto you" at #3
