So it’s time for another edition of the Hit Song Redux. In this show we count down the Top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 from a specific week in the golden era of the rock… and then re-rank them according to how many streams and views they have accumulated since. For this episode, we’re going back to the week of July 19, 1986. And as always, we’re including artist interviews, in-depth commentary, and your stories and dedications. Speaking of dedications, I have to give a shout-out to my personal hero, the great Casey Kasem and his program the American Top 40 countdown. This show would not be possible without him.

So let’s time travel back to the Summer of 1986 and soak in some pop culture context to get us ready… Beginning with what was playing on the big screen. If you wanted to catch a movie there were plenty of 80s classics to choose from… For instance, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Top Gun, and Karate Kid 2 were all hot tickets. Or if you were to stay home and tune into some summer reruns, who might have been watching Perfect Strangers, MacGuyver, or Growing Pains. And then of course, there’s the Saturday morning cartoons, including the Adventures of the Gummi Bears, the Star Wars Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour, and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. How’s that for a nostalgia bomb? Man, I miss the 80s. Alright, let’s get down to business.

Coming in at #10, it’s the raspy-voiced UK rock star, Rod Stewart with Love Touch. Do you remember this one? Love Touch was actually one of Rod Stewart's biggest hits in the 80s. The song has him going full-Romeo, asking his lover to let him heal their relationship with his “love touch.” The track was written by renowned songwriter Holly Knight in collaboration Gene Black and Mike Chapman, who also produced it. Knight and Stewart were actually supposed to work on the song together, but the partnership never materialized… which actually led to something of a disconnect between
