#IGotYou it’s only the 11th best #NewZealand song of all time? Surely it has to be number one! #SplitEnz

What a talented brother and sister duo. Up to the 1980 episode of #ClassicCountdown & #MollyMeldrum is interviewing Jimmy Barnes and one of the other blokes from #ColdChisel. I looked up to see who wrote #KheSahn; it was the magnificent #DonWalker who is the brother of the fabulous #BrendaWalker.

Pic Collage featuring the first three acts on the ABC countdown 50 years on special. Features Ross Wilson, Kate Ceberano and Grace Knight.
Pic Collage of Shaun Cassidy performing on Countdown in 1978. With a caption indicating that my dad regretted buying the 45” because my sisters and I just kept asking him to play it over and over again. The song: That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll.
A Pic Collage of the three Kates - Kate Ceberano, Kate Miller-Heidke and Katy Steele performing their tributes to Kate Bush on the ABC’s tribute to Countdown - countdown 50 years on.
Distracting myself from the pain of my #RheumatoidArthritis, which is flared up since I went cold turkey on the steroids on Thursday. Distracting myself with #ClassicCountdown and #Countdown50YearsOn.

And now the #classiccountdown #1 song on the American Top 40, from 40 years ago this week:
THE REFLEX –•– Duran Duran
Highly agreeable nonsense. Get in loser, me & the boys are going to Jupiter to get more stupider. A fun way to conclude a wild week in music history.
Thanks for your fun replies! 💕

Top 10 tracks of the #classiccountdown from June 23, 1984!
#10 EYES WITHOUT A FACE –•– Billy Idol
Extra points for singing with that asymmetrical lip sneer.
I recently heard a 15-minute remix of this song in my favorite BBQ joint. I never got bored and it made the brisket taste incredible

#classiccountdown continues: 🇺🇸 Top 40, July 23, 1984
#20 MAGIC –•– The Cars
The production on Cars singles is amazing. Perfectly of its time but also immortal. People 1000 years from now will be bopping their heads and relating to Ric Ocasek's obsession with sad weird fashionable women

#30 BREAKIN’…There's No Stopping Us –•– Ollie & Jerry
The video is a clip from the movie Breakin', which seems to be about convincing a panel of bank presidents to enjoy breakdancing (they freaking LOVE it)

![What Is Love ? [Official music video] - Howard Jones (HD/HQ)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6htdpszdkahdrjlg5njuv5ub/bafkreigonrz5mzseewzpox3ng7osri7uu33q4bkcqlcnwf6jm5dl5uxzqa)
#classiccountdown from June 23, 1984
As the numbers get smaller, the hits get bigger!
#33 WHAT IS LOVE –•– Howard Jones
Howard had no way of knowing this in 1984, but there is only one correct answer to "What Is Love?", and that is "Baby don't hurt me"

#38 PRIME TIME –•– Alan Parsons Project
The countdown WILL get good, and soon, but not quite yet.
Interesting video, in which a mannequin is turned into a real live woman and she's immediately like noooooo this sucks turn me back

Starting a new thread—let's get into the actual Top 40 #classiccountdown for June 23, 1984:
FAREWELL MY SUMMER LOVE –•– Michael Jackson
Having finally exhausted the Thriller album for hit singles, they reanimated this 1972 vault track from baby Michael. The public was not satisfied.
