(Finished June 20th, 2026) Part 2 of Cashbox's April 3rd, 1982 Top 100 Songs

Hello,

Normally I would use Billboard's rankings for these kind of blogs, but I don't want to pay to have access to those charts. I figure Cashbox, or whoever else, would have similar rankings. This is Cashbox's Top 100 Songs for April 3rd, 1982. 

Oh I do remember this song, barely. 100) Poco "Sea of Heartbreak":

Three years previous Poco had this song "Crazy Love":

The follow up song to "Crazy Love", also released in 1979 is "Heart of The Night":

99) Stevie Woods "Just Can't Win Them All":

98) Fred Parris & Five Satins "Memories of Days Gone By":

Twenty six years previously The Five Satins had this hit:

"In The Still of the Night":

97) Sammy Hagar "I'll Fall In Love Again":

96) Sugarhill Gang "Apache":

But of course The Sugarhill Gang is known most for this song "Rapper's Delight":


95) Gene Cotton "If I Could Get You Into My Life":


94) Atlantic Starr "Circles":


93) Bobby Vinton "She Will Survive (Poland)":


Nineteen years earlier Vinton had this song "Roses Are Red (My Love)":


92) Sneaker "Don't Let Me In":


One year previously Sneaker had this minor hit "More Than Just The Two Of Us":


91) Sheena Easton "You Could Have Been With Me":


Sheena Easton had big hits between 1980 to 1988. My favorite song of hers has always been the ballad from a Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only":


90) Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings "Just To Satisfy You":


89) John Hall Band "You Sure Fooled Me":


88) Chris Rea "Loving You Again":


Simon and Garfunkel peaked at #27 with their cover. 87) Simon and Garfunkel "Wake Up Little Susie":


Twenty-five years previously The Everly Brothers went to #1 with "Wake Up Little Susie":


This song went to #58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Country Chart. 86) T.G. Sheppard "Finally":


However my favorite T.G. Shepherd song, also from 1982, is "War Is Hell (On The Homefront Too)":


85) Carole King "One To One":

Eleven years previously King had released one of the best CDs of all-time "Tapestry", which featured this all-time great song "I Feel The Earth Move":

84) Deniece Williams "It's Gonna Take A Miracle":

Williams was only two years away from one of the most joyous songs ever "Let's Hear It For The Boy":
