Columbia’s continuing commitment to break new talent opens the second half of 1987 with the stunning release of songstress Regina Belle, whose single “Show Me The Way” crosses over from the #1 slot of Cash Box’s B/C chart onto the playlists of some of America’s hottest tastemakers. Including KZZP, KMEL, KKBQ, KRBE, Y100, KS 103, FM

1 02, KROY & KWOD. Onward and upward go the chart moves on the Outfield’s “Since You’ve Been Gone,” whose LP “Bangin’ ” breaks into the Top 25 this week.

All it takes is one spin to blow the phones off the hook on both Lisa Lisa’s “Lost In Emo- tion” and Cash Box’s July 25 cover star LL Cool J’s “I Need Love.” Both of which boast heavy rotation. Top 1 5 playlist debuts. In the “second album is even better than the first” category. The Hooters “One Way Home” is now in stores - and their single “Johnny B” cracks the 75 station market Top 40. And I’m taking bets now as to how fast Cock Robin’s “Just Around The Corner” (First release from the “After Here Through Midland” LP) will go to the #1 slot - it’s already Top 10 overseas.
