16 THE GAVIN REPORT A/C NEW ANALYSIS
Phil Collins settles in for what looks like REO Speedwagon - One Lonely Night(Epic) a few weeks at the top. 197 of the 200 David Lee Roth - Just A Gigolo (WarnerBros.) stations playing the record have it in HIGH Alison Moyet - Invisible (Columbia) rotation. USA For Africa already has a HIT FACTOR of 75%! Lots of positive comments from programmers on listener reactionto the Sade single. Looks like Top Five by April. This week's top CERTIFIED, Linda Ronstadt is a slow but sure A/C turntable hit. Have any of the disbelievers bothered to check retail RECOMMENDED sales of the LP? It's one thing to ignore sales on a Jane Fonda Workout LP, but this is music, folks. This week's RECORD TO WATCH, Jeffrey Osborne - Let Me Know (A&M) Billy Ocean's SUDDENLY, is actuallystarting Eric Carmen -I'm Through With Love (Geffen) faster than did his firsttwo, CARRIBEAN Boy Meets Girl - Oh Girl (A&M) QUEEN and LOVERBOY. Next week's debutswill REO Speedwagon - One Lonely Night (Epic) include Billy Ocean, Wham!, and Hall &Oates. I'm happy to see the Alison Moyetmake the NEW category in A/C. I'll bet ittests well where played. Ron

LUTHER VANDROSS at #1 is no surprise but it EDITION wasted no time charting with little effort squeaks past the COMMODORES to get there. and NEW JERSEY MASS CHOIR merges into the JESSE JOHNSON is pushing on both of them fast lane at #30.Sentimentality wins over the to get out of the way so he can be numberone "Chartbound" listings because the TEMPTATIONS, with his first solo release since leaving the TIME- EUGENE WILDE and B.B.KING all lean in that will be quite an accomplishment for him if hecan direction.Besides the newcomer HAROLD do it because both DEBARGE and the MARYJANE FALTERMEYER, FREDDIE JACKSON meritsyour GIRLS are closing in, too.SADE and USA FOR attention with 10 new adds.You can expect big AFRICA will go top ten next week- would have things next week from the new SHANNON, been there this week except for a matter ofa ATLANTIC STARR and CON FUNK SHUN singles, very few statistical points edging them out. and maybe even the new WHAM! release.These Chart movers race was won this time by MIDNIGHT four were encumbered only by the sheer force STAR and KOOL 6 THE GANG- ten point jumps of the adds on RICK JAMES and HAROLD for each of them.Following close behind but not FALTERMEYER "out -of -their -boxes" (or out of to be overlooked are the two highest debuts- their B.H.C. movie soundtrack).Top 40 is MANHATTANS at #19 and #20 for SHALAMAR. giving both plenty of attention as theyare most NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN started out a few cuts from this LP, but RICK JAMES gets the months ago with strong airplay reports from edge (JAMES = 29 adds,FALTERMEYER = 19) around the country, but not enough chart action to win the "Pop Crossover" contest. (Why don't to merit a number.Now, this week he closes we list the cuts that aren't being played from in with a 61% Hit Factor and charts at #23 with this LP - it would be a shorter list). good numbers everywhere it's being played.
