Classic late-1980s "mullet rock", thanks for the memories.

While this was The Outfield's biggest hit, they are hardly a one-hit wonder, as they had several other top 40 U.S. hits during the 1986-1990 period. Though a British band, they did not have similar chart success in Great Britain for whatever reason.

Also appreciate your Rumble links. I did not realize Rumble is now hosting music videos so I'll look there first before going to YouTube. Got to support the good guys as much as possible!

My #45 song in terms of iTunes plays happens to be from the same era

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1989)

Found the Rumble link above under "Wicked Games" however the proper title of the song is "Wicked Game".

This is one of those haunting songs that never gets tired. I like listening to it on late night drives, when clouds are scudding under a bright moon. This song was released in 1989 but became famous a couple years later after being featured in a David Lynch movie (Lynch passed away just a few days ago by the way().

So below are my songs so far...

#50 - Jack's Mannequin - The Lights And Buzz (2005)
#49 - The Cars - It's All I Can Do (1979)
#48 - Lobo - Me And You And A Dog Named Boo (1971)
#47 - Zach Bryan - Oklahoma Smokeshow (2022)
#46 - Norman Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky (1970)
#45 - Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1989)

That's a great #45. It's not in my Top 50 list, but it's an iconic tune from that era.

Funny thing about "Your Love" by The Outfield is that I know exactly why it's been played so much over the years. I crack up every time I hear it because Tony Lewis, the lead singer, bears a striking resemblance to a former boss of mine from back in the day. LOL.
