Hammer, Kiss, Oskar.

INSIDE TOP 40 WITH DAVE SHOLIN From a Top 40 music perspective, it's really been a tremendous year for exciting innovative hit songs and artists. Four acts in the top ten were unknown a year ago and indeed, Top 40 radio can pat it- self on the back for giving rise to a larger than usual number of new names ...TEARS FOR FEARS, WHITNEY HOUSTON, PAUL YOUNG, MR.MISTER, READY FOR THE WORLD, SIMPLE MINDS, JOHN PARR, SADE, JAN HAMMER, A- PIA, and a slew of others. In addition, well-knowns proved their staying power... STARSHIP: First number one song, the come- backs of ARETHA FRANKLIN, DIRE STRAITS and JOHN FOGER- TY. And it'll probably be awhile before we see anyone beat BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and PHIL COLLINS for sheer number of chart appearances in one year. Once again the power of film and video is evidenced by this year's top 5. Both A -FIA and DIRE STRAITS

had highly successful videos, while HUEY LEWIS, JOHN PARR and MADONNA featured prominent- ly in movies. Miami Vice brought original hit music to network TV in a big way and it's a pretty sure bet we can expect others to copy the format in 1986. The burgening communications arena can only help to heighten the public awareness of the vast music menu available...pointing to a very challenging and exciting future for Top 40.

Looking ahead to the first weeks of January, here are some stats on several key entries. Nearly half of the 268 stations on SPRING- STEEN already have it in their top 30. DREAM ACADEMY is having another explosive airplay week with adds at PRO/FM, WZUU, WLS, Y107, WNFI, KMJK, KZZP, WFBG, KC101, etc. Looks very strong going into the new year. STAR - POINT now has a 32% Hit Factor and is building nicely...moves

12-9 Q105, 30-21 KWES, 5-4 Q104, 17-11 WKHI, 16-7 WAVA, etc. BALTIMORA has hung on for good reason...it's a hit in Miami, San Francisco, Toronto, San Jose, along with 22 new believers, making it a hot contender for '86. READY FOR THE WORLD starting to show a similar trend to "Oh Sheila"...debuts #19 B-97, #28 WKQB, 21-15 FM102, 12-8 KMEL, plus adds at KWSS, KDON, WDBR, KSET, WCGQ, etc. OINGO BOINGO has the distinction of being the last Record To Watch of '85, laying a strong base with adds at KIIS/FM, KWOD, FM102, and a debut at #30 at KKHR-L.A.

As always, we'd like to thank all of you for your support and for giving us an accurate reflection of how records are developing in your market. Have a happy and safe holiday season and we'll look forward to talking with you again on January 6th.

Dave, Lisa & Keith

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS We've got two incredibly strong

records at the top of the chart. LIONEL RICHIE has 228 HEAVY ROTATION reports and DIONNE &

FRIENDS come in second with 214. We've never had a number two record with that many.

STEVIE WONDER, now five weeks out of the box, has a 91% HIT FACTOR and less than a score of hold -outs uncommitted.

STREISAND nears 200 reports and has more than 3/4 airplay HIT FACTORED. HIGH ROTATION already from 50 stations including: WELT , WT I C /AM, WBT, WRVA, WSB /AM, KGLO,KOIL,KWLO,WMT AM&FM, WISN, KSL, KFI, KOST and KRNO.

BRUCE could be top five by the first issue of 1986. HIGH ROTATION already from: KTIM, KCAL, KMWX, KLOK, KATA, KVRH, KNFL, KLYQ, WOMT, KKJO, KBCC,WQPO,WDNG, WCHV and WELT.

WHITNEY HOUSTON should pull

off her third straight top five A/C record, as HOW WILL I KNOW shows 124 stations in just three weeks.

JOHN DENVER's DREAMLAND EXPRESS is actually tracking (pardon the pun) faster than the first single from the LP. 111 stations and a HIT FACTOR of 50% is not token airplay.

First chart of next year will find six debuts. Our three CHART - BOUNDS, BILLY OCEAN, DREAM ACADEMY and MICHAEL FRANKS with BRENDA RUSSELL should appear in the middle of the chart, but I can't figure which other three will join 'em.

This week's RECORD TO WATCH, OMD's SECRET shows 25 reports early on. Among those spreading the secret are: B100,WAEV,WSKY, KFSB,KEY103,KATA,WGSV,WFFX, WKYX, WIAL and WGHQ.

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO ATLANTIC STARR - "Secret Lovers" (A&M) Each of their LP's has contained a mainstream track like this, but their success as an Urban/Dance band has usually demanded other more rhythmic tracks as singles priorities. SECRET LOVERS is as much an A/C record as any other format. MR.MISTER - "Kyrie" (RCA) Admittedly not all A/C's will play this one. Steve Farris' guitar is a

little rocky and the drum mix is cavernous, but I'm confident that the production will be embraced by most progressive A/C's.

Though The Gavin Report offices will be open until December 20th we won't be taking station reports again until MONDAY, JANUARY 6th.

Diane and I want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for a great year in A/C and we hope you. have a happy holiday season.

Ron

HOLLYWOOD by Tony Richland

CHRISTMAS IN HOLLYWOOD

by Tony Richland

CHESTNUTS ROASTING IN A HALSTON HOT TUB

SUSHI NIPPING AT MY NOSE TRENDY ELVES HANGING QUICHE ON

THE TREE AND SURFERS GOING WITH THE FLOW.

That's Christmas in Tinseltown, folks, and it's not anything like the Yuletide in

Miracle On 34th Street.

We arrived in Hollywood just before the Big Guy's Blessed Birthday some 25 years ago. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of 89 degrees on December 10th (although we did experience low clouds and early morning fog).

Having relocated from The Big Apple, where Christmas looks like Christmas, you can well imagine that the seasonal atmostphere came as a bit of a shock. No icicles were hung from the palm trees with care and the frost hadn't settled on the orange groves.

A couple of decades have passed and nothing has changed ... in fact, it feels even less Christmasy than ever, and at this time of the year we'd be willing to

suffer some foul weather just to get us in

the spirit. If you've never spent the holiday in Movietown, let me tell you about it

Last year, my children stuffed my stocking with a one-year subscription to aerobics classes conducted by Larry Groves of KROQ; a red designer Don Johnson tank- top personally crafted by Lisa Smith of The Gavin Report; and a 600 -page paperback titled, "Don Wasley: His Life And His Times." Now THAT's California!

My wife presented me with an autographed photo of The Ventura Freeway and a life-sized statue of Al

Coury, sculpted in goat cheese and pureed avocado. Just what any kid from Baltimore would want.

Our family tree was decorated in a music business motif, with football strategist Lu Fields impaled at the top where stars are usually placed.

The family rented Bruce Bird and Dino Barbis to perform their legendary Dueling Santas routine and Blue Oyster Cult caroled us with "God Rest Ye Jerry Mandelbaum," as we cavorted in our Jacuzzi. The fruitcake was stuffed with imported Norwegian capers and sauteed escargot, and Charlene Tilton entertained my brood with her new wave version of CHEECH & CHONG's "Santa Claus & His

Old Lady," performed as only a short, fat Miss Piggy lookalike could do it.

After Christmas dinner a number of our friends entertained and in the spirit of the holiday we applauded lustily as Bob Hamilton of KRTH did his superb Reagan impression and Chris Crist of Warner's performed his pitiful rendition of Peter Falk.

I presented my wife with typical Hollywood gifts, and she seemed pleased to receive a ten -week course at the Steve Popovich School of Overeating, the tape of Russ Regan calling people "babe," and her major present a gift -wrapped Mike Love, complete with baseball cap and ID

card in The American Association of Retired Persons. Later in the evening the Galliani Brothers arrived and did a stereo performance of their famed "Selling Ads In

The Gavin Report" schtick. The assemblage roared affectionately as the duo allowed us to watch them attempt to get Ray Anderson on the phone. Their act lasted three guffaw -filled hours, culminating in Lou's hilarious one-way conversation with a man pretending to be Mike Becce. At this point, Dave Sholin arrived, denying all rumors, and asked us if we knew of any openings for him at The Breneman Report. We told him that we'd

Iwo put in a word as soon as Betty & Tom returned from Hanukah services.

My mother showed up, fresh from her senior citizen's Cajun cooking class and wondered why her son's face had been absent from last year's Gavin group photo. We explained that we WERE in the picture when it was taken, but it had been airbrushed out by an envious Kent Zimmerman. You'll note that we are present this year, and easy to pick out of the crowd. Here's the hint scan the photo, think of the two words "Robert Redford," and then re -scan the photo. Isolating us should be simple.

At this point we offer you some disjointed and unrelated predictions for the upcoming year:

CLAUDE HALL will return to Billboard. QUAD will replace compact discs and VCR's in electronic sales. Indianapolis will win the Super Bowl. The Best of Bad Company will be the album of the year. The Frankie Goes To Hollywood Tour will set new concert gross records. Tony Richland will win the Pulitzer Prize for music business journalism.

... and if you're still with us, a toast to your health and our most sincere wishes for a joyous holiday season from your friends at The Gavin Report! AND, to quote Sammy Davis Jr, you know I mean that, babe!

P.O. NOTEBOOK by Eric Na,er,,,

THE SALES

INTERFACE

Steve "Dallas" Lovig of WAHR -FM in Huntsville, Alabama, wrote me an interesting and provocative letter on the subject of the relationship between programming and sales. I'd like to share it

with you ...

"As my first fulltime job in radio, I was hired as Production Director and Copywriter and midday air personality at a station in the Miami, Florida, area. My desk was in the sales office (a large room with seven desks and a phone for each account executive), and I was required to attend each morning's sales meeting. This kept me in touch with what each salesperson was working on, plus it gave me an opportunity to put in my two cents worth on sales promotions. Being visible to each account exec every morning made my job as copywriter run much more smoothly-while being on the air allowed me to see the air personalities' point of view. If a salesperson wanted to live -tag a spot, I could suggest an easier way; or I could help fine-tune an on -air sales promotion.

"But the biggest benefit to the station was my being a buffer. I saw both sides from the inside. I calmed down many a jock that had a beef related to sales, and many a salesperson moaning about a

personality doing a spot this way or that

"I continue to feel very strongly that sales and programming need to be together. The copywriter should explain to the account exec why wording needs to be changed-instead of just changing it. Air personalities should go along on important sales calls. People from both programming and sales should sit down

together to talk over proposals. Many times the person on the air has a great idea-while a salesperson has a client who needs a good promotion. Get them together!! We cannot continue to operate as two separate entitites. We require each other for our livelihoods!!" I agree. And let me add just one more thought. A radio station without commercials lacks an element of excitement. This goes so against the grain of many programming types that they may reject the thought out of hand, but it is true. Ask anyone who has been overseas listening to Armed Forces Radio or the domestic radio: You really miss the spots. That's partly because they provide an extra human element to relate to, and partly because they add to the socio- cultural role of a station in mirroring society for the listener. I've often commented how dumb I think it is for a

station to tell its listeners that commercials are undesirable-through such devices as "commercial free hours" or "plays less commercials" slogans-since conveying this information makes the listener a lot less receptive to the advertiser -s message when it is presented, reducing ad response, and also makes it seem that the station (which bragged about not having commercials) has "sold out," by finally carrying some.

Now I've just given you another reason! When spot quantity, clustering, repetition and quality does not cross the listener's irritation point, they can actually be a

programming plus. (Except for those listeners who have been "educated" by shortsighted stations into considering them objectionable.)

PROMOTIONS byLisa Smith & BettyHollars

HIDING THE COKE Radio stations WBCA and WWSM in Bay Minette, Alabama, joined forces with the local Jaycees to raise money for The South Alabama Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They had a coke hideaway somewhere in their town for the listeners to look for. The "Snowman," Mike Snowden, sat on the top of the coke truck, urging motorists to stop by and make a donation. With the local jaycees dispensing the coke to waiting custo- mers, the station raised $600 in one day for the efforts.

INSTANT WINNER KJQ/FM in Ogden, Utah, sent two winners to the REO Speedwagon concert in Salt Lake City in fine style. They were driven to and from the show in a stretch limousine and had backstage passes to meet the band after the concert This was just another example in a

long series of instant winners on KJQ/FM, where people who call in to make a request are often surprised by winning albums, t-shirts, cases of soda pop, ski and golf passes, and-as in this case-concert tickets.

Pictured are (I -r) Magic 95 KMQ P.D. Jim Reed, the Van winner Suzanne Young, and Asst. P.D. Tom Locwood.

WIN A RAM VAN A MAGIC 95 KMQ listeners spent the summer registering to win at various locations in Rockford, Illinois because the prize was well worth it The station got together with Royal Crown Cola bottler to give away a $14,000 fully - equipped Dodge Ram Van to the listener whose name was drawn at the annual "On The Waterfront" Labor Day weekend. A crowd of over 100,000 witnessed the drawing. The promotion was done to inaugurate the new format, a personality A/C format for the city of Rockford.

YOUR TOWN While John Cougar Mellencamp is sing- ing about the wonders of a "Small Town," some lucky person in Indiana will win not just any small town, but Mellencamp's small town, lovely Seymour, Indiana, population 15,050. WNAP/FM in India- napolis will give away the town to a listener, who gets it for one day. The lucky winner will go to Seymour, be named mayor for the day, preside over the city council, receive a highway department road sign, and -later be whisked back to Indianapolis to be treated to Mellem- camp's concert that evening.

NIGHT ON THE TOWN WDKX in Rochester, New York recently sponsored a "Weekend In New York" promotion during a three week period. The grand prize winner was treated to the Luther Vandross concert at Radio City Music Hall, as well as dinner on the town and $104 spending money. Morn- ing air personality Kevin Morrison gra- ciously volunteered to escort the winners to the concert and backstage to meet Vandross after the show.

THE HALLEY LINE WIBW-Topeka's Roger Heaton reports that while other stations have special concert phone lines, they now have a

special phone line for fans of Halley's Comet. Dubbed "The Halley Line," it's

sponsored by a local camera store that

also sells telescopes for people to view the comet. The information is provided by the Northeast Kansas Amateur Astronomer's League, and is updated weekly. The line provides info on where to see the comet, how best to see the

comet, and general information on the

comet. Roger tells us that they've just been doing it for a couple of weeks, and it's getting great response and has a

wide demographic appeal. If you'd like to

give it a listen, call (913) 273-8600.

WBCN RUNS FOR YOUTH WBCN-Bostonlaced up their jogging shoes recently for the station's Second Annual 10 Kilometer Run. The race was a

benefit for Horizons For Youth, a Boston area youth services organization. WBCN broadcast the race live and WBCN personalities were stationed along the way to meet, greet and cheer on the entrants. The first 18 men and 18 women to cross the finish line won thousands of dollars worth of prizes.


KISS Former drummer Ace Frehley was once nearly electrocuted when lights fell from the rafters during a show in

Lakeland, Florida on December 11,

1976. Ace left the stage on a

stretcher but returned to finish the set

PAUL McCARTNEY The b -side of "Spies Like Us" is a

track recorded by Wings in 1975 called "My Carnival."

STEELY DAN The L.A. Times reports that Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are ready to resume their association in the studio.

MIAMI VICE The album Music From The Television Series Miami Vice has been certified double platinum for sales exceeding two million copies by the Record Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.), becoming the first soundtrack recording from a

television show to receive any certification of gold or above from the Association.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC The cover artwork on their debut album was recently honored by the Los Angeles Art Director's Club.

GARY MORRIS He will make his television series debut in "Dynasty II-The Colbys" where he will portray Wayne Masterson-a country singer.

,fI1 EED

GRACE JONES Born in Jamaica, Grace Jones moved to Syracuse, New York at the age of twelve. She attended Syracuse University originally to become a Spanish professor.

NEW EDITION New Edition's vocalist Bobby Brown has announced that he will leave the group to pursue a solo recording career.

BAND AID Johnson & Johnson gave Bob Geldof temporary rights to use their brand name Band Aid for his first African relief recording last fall.

Nothing has yet been worked out for this year's release, but don't be surprised to see the original song re-released under the name Live Aid.

THE STARSHIP Only The Starship and The Rolling Stones have been in the top 5 in

three decades ... 60's, 70's and 80's.

TA KA BOOM Yvette Marie Stevens (aka Chaka Khan) and Yvonne Stevens (aks Taka Boom) once sang together as The Crystalettes.

MIKE & THE MECHANICS On the latest Mechanics LP is "A Call To Arms," co -written by Tony Banks and Phil Collins. Mike Rutherford describes it as "an old Genesis song never recorded that I've always liked."

MADONNA She will play Edie Sedgwick in a

movie about the Warhol superstar's life. It is to be directed by Warren Beatty.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN His classic "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" was recorded ten years ago during a concert at C.W. Post College on Long Island. It first appeared in recorded form as part of the Grammy Award -winning children's album, "In Harmony 2."

BARRY MANILOW He plans to re-record many of his past hits in both Spanish and Portuguese for international distribution through RCA.

CHARLIE SEXTON At the age of thirteen, he was touring with Joe Ely as Ely's lead guitarist

the GAVIN REPORT TOP 100 ALBUMS This year's Top 100 Album Chart is different in that it represents a sample of stations who are both mainstream and progressive. We affectionately refer to them as Indicator Stations. Also, the compilation methods deviated dramatically this year from the last few years. Instead of basing one year-end chart on a collection of weekly charts and then combining all of those weeklies into one yearly, this year's chart is an ongoing tally of all the station reports on each LP received throughout the year.

MY 2G

Each and every holiday season I

rifle through a year's worth of GAV I Ns and pick out the records that scored the most amount of turntable (and CD player) time in the wee spare hours of the year. What follows is a personal list of favorite total LPs and a

dozen favorite songs of 1985 that I would put in a jukebox. These are in no particular order. I

challenge you to do the same. Send me your faves and we'll print each one of them in GAS. Deal? LPs first.. 1. Silvertone-CHRIS ISAAK

2. Tao -RICK SPRINGFIELD

3. Flaunt The Imperfection -CHINA CRISIS

4. Brothers In Arms -DIRE STRAITS

5. Steve McQueen -PREFAB SPROUT

6. Head On The Door -THE CURE

7. Rhythm & Romance-ROSANNE CASH

8. Low Life -NEW ORDER

SPOTLIGHT LP A Groove/That's What We're Talking) About/Grip It -TROUBLE FUNK (T.T.E.D./Island) Why do I think that in heaven there are never- ending cowbells beating outrageous rhythms? I haven't heard so many of them since I last saw The Neville Brothers in concert. This live recording is a perfect example of how Alternative stations can diversify and spruce up their sound. No, they don't dress in long black overcoats or play incredulous walls of guitars. It's Go Go Funk and it's hot. This music is for real and delivers the punches. Peter

STATION IDENTIFICATION

Station I.D. K92/FM-Destin, FL

&ereo

VMAk ä kick to the pee'

OWNER: GULFCOAST BROADCASTING, INC. BOX 817 DESTIN, FL 32541 (904) 837-0101

MGR: Edna D. Smith SALES MGR: Rick Gordon REP: Roslin Radio Sales

There are many stations that restrict the duties of the music director because the program director is looming over them. Gabby Bruce gives me full freedom to put whatever I feel is right for our sound on the air. I listen to everything that comes in the door. Major artists and labels, small independent labels and artists I've never heard of. If it sounds good for our format, it goes on the air. Right now, I have about 150 album cuts along with the current singles, and only two oldies an hour are on a regular rotation. I use the Gavin Report more than any other trade for information to help me put new product on the air as quickly as possible.

On September 24, 1981, K92 in Destin was born. After only nine months, K92 was the number two station out of twelve that were covering the market at that time. There are now fourteeen stations in the market. Skip Davis, Music Director tells us why he thinks K92 has held down the #1 position in both Birch and Arbitron, for three consecutive years.

Our success is not only attributed to our music policy, but also the fact that we are extremely active in the community, from Girl Scout functions to hurricanes. We like to call our unique music style AOC (album oriented country). As many as 150 albums are an integral part of our format. As many as fifteen records can be played within the hour, never less than ten. Talk by the announcers is kept to a minimum. We believe if what they have to say is not more important than the music, then don't say it at all. Gabby Bruce, our program director, is the man who formulated our format. We tend to lean more to the contemporary side of country. The way the format was put together, we're able to incorporate Alabama, Sylvia and Gary Morris and blend them with John Anderson, George Strait and George Jones. We find the contemporary artists compliment the traditional, and vice-versa. Even some of the album cuts we play are very contemporary, but they're blended in such a way that in the past four years we've not had one complaint

The rating books show our numbers have increased every year, give or take five to ten percent. In fact, many businesses pipe us in through their offices and listen to us consistently. We also have an Air Force base here which is the largest militair installation in the nation. I'd venture to say

that we have 85 to 90% of the squadrons listening to K92. When we go out on the streets, people are constantly coming up and telling us they love what we're doing and that they listen all the time.

LINEUP: Gabby Bruce, PD (6-10am) Emory Ellis (to 3pm) Skip Davis, MD (to 7pm) Mike Richards (to midnight) Ballard Fore (to 6am)

We are one of only three major country stations that comes into this market There's one in Milton, Florida and one in Pensacola. They had strong numbers in this market before we went on the air, but they dropped drastically soon after we hit the air -waves. Basically, Top 40 is our main competitor. In fact, when this last book came out we thought we might slip because the other stations caught on to the fact that everytime something is going on in the area, K92 is there. Whether an organization listens to us or not, we show up. We'll do a break or two on the air to inform our listeners as to what's happening and invite them to come on down and check it out. Even if the organization doesn't listen to the station they'll always remember you. The rock and roll stations know we've been kicking their butts for years, so they have started to get more involved with the community and that's why we thought we might start to slip a little. But this last Arbitron and Birch is probably the best we've ever had.

Skip explains his responsibilities as music director and some of his inner feelings.

I've been given a free hand with everything and anything that has to do with music.

There are some who will wait to see how a record does on the national charts. I have a responsibility to our listeners to be on top of things. There are stations with a 20 to 30 record play list and it's hard to crack those lists even if you're a major artist I have about 70 records in rotation, all new singles, fifty of which are numbered. I keep a large list like that because country listeners like variety. I don't go any higher than that because it wouldn't be doing the artist or our listeners justice. A lot of programmers shy away from independent labels and new artists, I don't know why, because without the independents where would the major labels be? Maybe they've listened to a couple of bad records by unknown artists and/or labels and stopped listening to anything not on a national chart or a major label. A music director should listen to everything and be honest with the record reps. I don't hesitate to tell record reps that I'm sorry, I just don't think the record will make it. Either the production stinks or the lyrics are poor or the artist needs work. We could encourage them to put out better records if more radio people were more honest. Instead of telling them they'll try to get it on next week-tell them why they can't play the record and I'm sure the independents would put more of an effort into getting a better product out We'd have more music to choose from and I also think by being honest some of the major artists who haven't been putting out great product lately are going to try harder to put out some dynamite material to keep on top. Consequently, country music would have a much better image. It's not hogs, dogs and tractors anymore. The sooner country radio educates the public to this, the broader and better the audience they're going to have all across the country. I believe the music director is an essential part of the radio station. I check record stores around town to see what's doing well. I rely on the record stores in town, two major chains and one independent I

STATION IDENTIFICATION Continued from page 42

combine store information with listeners' input to find out where the record is going to be on the numbered chart and what I'll put in heavier rotation.

Skip feels public service is as important as the music.

The best thing we do, probably, is keep the public informed of everything and aything that goes on. We have a superb news department. For the past two years, our news department has taken "Best Small Market News Coverage" in the state of Florida by United Press International. We're still getting calls from listeners telling us they used to listen to us a little bit here and there

and now they listen all the time because when Hurrican Elena came through we kept them up to date. It was like we were in the eye of the hurricane. Public service-that's what we do best.

Staying number one is the biggest challenge for K92.

Compared to staying number one, getting there was a breeze. We started out #2, have never been lower then #3, and have been #1

for the past three years. We strive to keep the public actively involved in what we do. We have promotions constantly. Getting Hardees, a fast food operation, to cooperate with a contest is no problem because they know they're going to get good results. In

fact, we don't have to approach businesses. They approach us with an idea for a contest and if we think it's feasible and will pay off, our program director, who's been in this market for fourteen years and knows the market, will execute the idea. We don't put on a big contest to get listeners. They're already there and they are faithful. We have contests basically to keep them involved in the station and with what we're doing. We know we're number one, and it's wonderful, but we don't go around bragging because we know who put us there. We always remember our roots and I think that has kept us humble, and has not allowed us to become complacent Even though we are #1, we are out there working like we're still trying to get to the top.

URBAN CONTEMPORARY SUMMARY It didn't take LIONEL RICHIE long to make up his mind he would be number one before the year was out! READY FOR THE WORLD's great "Digital Display" could be up next for the position but it will have to beat out STEVIE WONDER to do it. Anoth- er strong mover is DIONNE &

FRIENDS, going top ten already this week. A ten -point jump for the TEMPTATIONS should dispel any rumors that it won't go top ten - it looks like a definite, going to #10 without any problem. Whatever you choose to call the CHOICE MC's or FRESH GORDON, call it a big mover in addition to that. "Certified" choice was easy this time around: 5 STAR's "Let Me Be The One (That You Make Love To)" has a line-up that looks like this: #5 at WUSL/FM- Philly, #5 at KEZM-Lake Charles, #5 at KMJQ-Houston, #7 at KDAY Los Angeles, #8 at WILD -Boston, #10 at KIIZ/AM-Killeen, #11 at WJLB-Detroit, #11 at WRKS/FM-

New York, #12 at WDMT-CIeve- land, #12 at WDPN-Columbia, #14 at KGFJ-L.A., #17 at KDLZ-Ft. Worth, #18 at XHRM-San Diego, #18 at KKDA-Dallas, #19 at WYLD New Orleans, and #20 at WZAK- Cleveland. The other "Certified", Meli'sa Morgan is on at WHUR, WDKX, WILD, WRKS/FM, WXYV, WAMO, WANM, HOT105, WHRK, KRNB, KROF, V103, WDMT,WDPN, WGIV, WJAX, WQQK/FM, WWDM, WYLD/FM, WKMI, WBLZ, WCIN, WZAK, WNOV, WBMX/FM, WLUM, CBLS, KMJM, WVKO, KDLZ,KHYS, KIIZ/AM, KKDA, KMJQ, KGFJ, and XHRM. TA MARA & THE SEEN's new "Affection" comes in with a grand total of 34 reports already to head up the Chart - bound section to follow-up her first hit with what looks like will be her second. JAMES BROWN's cut comes into this category with a strong add listing too. Of the newer sides, "Most Added" TA MARA & THE SEEN and MORRIS DAY are the runaway winners.

As the year comes to a close, we are giving you our Top 100's for 1985. As always, they are based on the airplay reports given to us from you each week. These reports are put in the computer and it keeps a running total as the weeks pass and then the big 100 are generated by that point structure. In looking it over this year, it was very gratifying to see those familiar artists that I was charting back in 1971 when I first started doing these same charts: STEVIE WONDER, ARETHA FRANKLIN, BOBBY WOMACK, THE ISLEY BROTHERS, KOOL & THE GANG, MARVIN GAYE, TINA TUR- NEW, DIANA ROSS, and JAMES BROWN. It's been quite a year for many artists and many of you have expressed your feelings that it's nice to see these coming back to mix their contributions in with the newcomers. Many, Many Thanks for all your super support this year and I'm looking forward to making next year even better!

55 the GAVIN REPORT! December 13, 1985

the GAVIN REPORT DAVE SHOLIN'S Personal Picks -SINGLES

RON FELL'S Personal Picks - ALBUMS

MR.MISTER - Kyrie (RCA) If anyone had any doubts about this group being for real, they won't after hearing this release. Pronounced (Kir-ee-A) the simple yet poetic lyric of the song matched by an extremely powerful chorus make it destined to fly as high as "Broken Wings".

DAVID PACK - Prove Me Wrong (Warner Brothers) Ambrosia's lead singer surfaces solo, following the breakup of the band. After seeing the movie "White Nights", I can say it's definitely a song you remember once you leave the theater. Look for it late this week

or early Christmas week.

JENNIFER RUSH - The Power Of Love (Epic) Here's a late flash from Bruce Stevens at WBBQ- Augusta. Bruce reports heavy female requests over the last four days. It's easy to hear why this unusual offering generates immediate response. Is this the "You Light Up My Life" of 1986?

Dave's Personal Top Ten For 1985

1. HUEY LEWIS - The Power Of Love (Chrysalis) 2. PHIL COLLINS - Sussudio (Atlantic) 3. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - I'm Goin' Down (Columbia) 4. WHAM! - Careless Whisper (Columbia) 5. SADE - Smooth Operator (Epic) 6. WHITNEY HOUSTON - You Give Good Love (Arista) 7. ARETHA FRANKLIN - Freeway Of Love (Arista) 8. TEARS FOR FEARS -Everybody Wants To.. (Mercury) 9. STARSHIP - We Built This City (Grunt/RCA)

10. KATRINA & THE WAVES -Walking On Sunshine(Cap.)

RC)N'S 198rí PERSONAL FAVORITES

STEVIE WONDER - "In Square Circle" (Tamla) WHITNEY HOUSTON - "Whitney Houston" (Arista) STING - "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" (A&M) PROPAGANDA - "A Secret Wish" (ZTT/Island) JOHN COUGAR - "Scarecrow" (Riva/PolyGram) JOHN FOGERTY - "Centerfield" (Warner Bros.) PHIL COLLINS - "No Jacket Required" (Atlantic) ARETHA FRANKLIN - "Who's Zoomin' Who" (Arista) DIRE STRAITS - "Brothers in Arms" (Warner Bros.) MICK JAGGER - "She's The Boss" (Columbia)

COME13AC KS GINO VANNELLI - "Black Cars" (HME/CBS) JOHN FOGERTY - "Centerfield" (Warner Brothers) COMMODORES - "Nightshift" (Motown) ERIC CARMEN - "Eric Carmen" (Geffen) HEART - "Heart" (Capitol) BEACH BOYS - "The Beach Boys" (Caribou)

DEBUTS GO WEST - "Go West" (Chrysalis) PROPAGANDA - "A Secret Wish" (ZTT/Island) LONE JUSTICE - "Lone Justice" (Geffen) KATRINA & THE WAVES - "Katrina & The Waves" (Cap.) SADE - "Diamond Life" (Portrait)
