Coming up, it’s the latest edition of our program the Hit Song Redux. In this show, we go behind the Top 10 songs from this very same week 40 years ago in September of 1983! But counting them down isn’t enough. After we reach #1, we re-rank them according to all-time streams and views… to see what the real #1 hit is. Today we’ve got a massive lineup in store, with some of the most iconic tracks the 80s have to offer. But who will claim the top spot? Could it be The Police, a Jim Steinman special, Maybe Def Leppard or ZZ Top or Bonnie Tyler, or even maybe a one-hit wonder, or the big movie soundtrack hit of that moment? Stick around to find out and make your guess in the comments. It’s all happening… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

Hey Music Junkies Professor of Rock Always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. if you remember listening to Casey Kasem count them down every week on the American Top 40 Willing your favorite songs up the charts You’ll dig this channel of pure musical nostalgia. Make sure to subscribe below right now to be a part of our music history daily straight from the artists. And to become an honorary producer on our Patreon, click on the link in the description.

So, it’s time for another edition of our show the Hit Song Redux, where we travel back to a week in the golden era of rock and re-rank the Top 10 songs of THAT SPECIFIC week based on how much the world has listened to them since THEIR PEAK POSITION ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100. As always, we’re including artist interviews, in-depth commentary, as well as your stories and comments. So to be certain: this is not my personal top 10. It’s the actual top 10 from this exact week in 1983. First, we count them down as they were, and then we run them through our recalibration process based on streaming, radio play, and views to find out the real top 10. If you have any guesses on who #1 will be, put them in the comments now, and we’ll see if you’re right when we get there.

As we get going here, I have to give a shout-out to my hero, the incomparable Casey Kasem, and his program the American Top 40 Countdown. This show is a tribute to him.

So, let’s talk pop culture for a minute… movies, TV, the whole bit. Let’s head back to 1983 in that nostalgia time machine. So if you wanted to see a movie, and if it was still playing in your town, Return of the Jedi for, I don’t know, the 10th time. Released earlier that summer in May, FOR ALL WE KNEW, this was the end of Star Wars. So you had to make it count. Maybe it should’ve been the end… ha ah Or if you wanted to mix things up, you could also see Tom Cruise in Risky Business or Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom. Two iconic 80s actors right there.

If you turned on the boob tube and you could watch episodes of The A-Team, Star Search… or how about Friday Night Night Videos? And of course, if you were a kid, there was no sleeping in on Saturdays. The cartoons started early. Popular shows included He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and since we already mentioned the A-Team, why not… the Mister T cartoon was playing as well! I pity the fool who slept in on Saturday mornings. Okay, okay, with that nostalgia overload complete, let’s get into this thing...
