Curious as to what were the top pop songs in the year I graduated from high school, I looked up a top 100 list from about.com from the year 1984. (YES, I graduated from high school 21 years ago this June. Hush. I already KNOW I am old.)
So. Anyway. Here are MY favorites from that list. (The numbers are their position on the list from about.com.)
BTW, I did listen to music other than pop, but that's another post!
3. Jump, Van Halen
4. Footloose, Kenny Loggins
7. Let's Hear It For The Boy, Deniece Williams
8. Owner Of A Lonely Heart, Yes
11. Missing You, John Waite
