Music Virgins No More
This podcast is based on co-host John Schlarbaum’s pubescent memories of the Top 40 between 1979 – 1982 when he created 106 weekly music charts alone in his bedroom in Southwestern Ontario.
Co-host Jason Cabanaw, 20 years younger, discovers, sometimes for the first time, music and bands he was unaware of.
Music Virgins No More
Charts #15-16 (Nov 29 + Dec 5, 1980)
Today, co-hosts John and Jason review two weeks, starting with Chart #15 for November 29, 1980 . . . which may be the most important chart of all 106 charts made, as Bruce Springsteen makes his first appearance. "Finally," you say!
Show highlights: a new #1 Single and #1 Album, plus, one song is hit by the curse of only reaching #2 - denied the top spot by two different tunes!
Additionally, discussions on Bruce Springsteen's "The River" and The Police's "Zenyatta Mondatta" albums, and their impact on young John's listening habits.
The recent Amazon #1 music book and the podcast's companion book, "Music Virgin No More" by co-host John Schlarbaum, is available now for only $15.00 on Amazon. Buy here:
