Okay, so in the 1980s there were 94 songs that climbed all the way to the #2 position on the billboard HOT 100 without getting to that coveted #1 spot. About 4 months ago I did a livestream talking about #2 hits. And over the last few months as I’ve gone over some interviews and listened to all the songs that peaked at #2, I’ve revisited this and figured out my definitive top 10 picks. And I have to tell you, it was tough. The 80s were so packed, that pulling 10 #2 hits out of 94 proved was nearly impossible. But after listening, pondering, scratching and crawling, I think I got close. After every slot I’m going to play one honorable mention so that you get the idea of how difficult this was. I’m also including artist commentary to give us even more insight. So let’s get into it… Coming in at #10, it is a group that over a four-year period from 1980-1983, had as many top 5 hits as any act in the history of music... including the Beatles who inspired them to become a group in the first place. It’s Air Supply with Making Love out of Nothing at All. Air Supply had an amazing 8 top 5 hits in a 3-and-a-half-year period... including Lost in Love, All Out of Love, the #1 hit The One the You Love, and this Jim Steinman creation that should’ve been #1. Speaking of Jim Steinman... The late maestro actually had the #1 and #2 hit at the same time. When Making Love was kept out the #1 spot, it was by another track he wrote and produced: Total Eclipse of the Heart, sung by Bonnie Tyler. Making Love Out of Nothing at All peaked at #2 on October 8, 1983, and stayed there for 3 weeks. Here’s what Air Supply co-leads Graham Russel and Russel Hitchcock told me about this period of their success: Alright, so for my first honorable mention, I’m going with Journey’s own Open Arms. It’s hard to believe, but this is the closest that Journey ever got to #1. I know right? It doesn’t make sense to me either. Apparently, Steve Perry was the only one who liked the song. Neal Schon hated it, and Jonathan Cain who wrote it, was second-guessing himself. I really didn’t like this song either. For most of my life actually. But I have to admit, I had a change of heart when I heard it on Cobra Kai. This third single from Escape was the band's highest charting single and launched the album’s sales into the stratosphere.
