Few records released this year went to number one faster at stations around the country than MADONNA's current mega -smash. At this time, it's impossible to foresee any competition knocking her out of first place until after the first of the year. CHICAGO surges past just about everyone in the top ten and look at this "Hit Factor" jump.. 61% to 88%. Only new entry in this week's top ten is the BAILEY/COLLINS duet, which gets there in only four short weeks. They pulled off a 43% "Hit Factor" with help from Bazoo/Naftaly at NMEL 13-4, Dennis O'Mara WJLK/FM 18-7, Grossman/Nevin at WCCC 21-8, Al Matthews, WKPE 13-4, Gary Allen KHSN 28-11, and a ton of 8-10 point jumps elsewhere. DON HENLEY pulls off two consecutive killer weeks and is sure to continue that trend. Climbs into the top ten at KQWK, KTUF, 92X, WHSB, KHOP, KPOP, KOZE, KBLQ, WCGQ, KTAC, WFMI, WHTB, KEYP, KFMN, KIXS and WWKZ. FOREIGNER makes everyone else look slow, with an airplay base of 252 reports and a 26% "Hit Factor" already. If there's a candidiate for the next number one record, this is the strongest one. RAY PARKER JR. remains hot and with his latest NEW EDITION production off to a good start, his "sound" will be around a lot the next few months. The highest debuts, PRINCE and WHAM! are just about dead even,

with WHAM! getting a slight chart edge debuting in the top twenty at KVIC, KZZB, WEED, KOSO, KDON, etc. If there were a third "Certified" record this week it would have been HALL &

OATES, who pull in 82 new adds for a current total of 221 reports. Quite a bit of heavy request activity already. We have entered a somewhat unusual period with so many records getting so much airplay even an entry like the new CULTURE CLUB, with 177 reports goes "Chartbound", rather than entering the Top 40. B&B's number four record is making its crossover move and qualifies as "Record "To Watch". TEENA MARIE's 10 adds moves her up from 13 to 23 reports. Impressive list of stations put it on, including...FM102, WHYT, KIIS/FM, KMEL, KSTN, KXGO, KUAD, WBLU, WDAY, and KTDL. RICK DEES' single, "Eat My Shorts", is getting a significant amount of requests from men and women who are asking it be dedicated to ex -spouses, friends and assorted enemies...cood bit. Our resident research whiz Keith Zimmerman notes that one look at this week's cover will tell you how dominant the American acts were this year. Our last issue of '84 comes out next week and our deadline is one day early... Tuesday 5PM PST. You cooperation in getting to us as early as possible is appreciated.

THE GAVIN REPORT December 14, 1984

THE THREE LETTERS OF '84: P - O - P

By Dave Sholin

Just like a well-"xecuted drive down field by San Francisco's awesome 49'ers, Top 40 radio could do no wrong in 1984. 1983 saw a trickle of deserters who fled the format only to make a swift return - but in '84, that trickle became a flood. In

addition, a host of stations from New York to L.A. abandoned their longtime A/C, Album and Country stances in favor of Top 40. Those that pulled some of the biggest numbers found that going back to many formatic basics that were considered passe indeed hadn't outlived their usefulness. Programmers' hard work in building exciting promotions and bringing back personality was augmented by one of the best years for pop music in recent memory.

Big names Dominate Its never easy for the unknowns to become known, but it was doubly hard in 1984. Not only did the big name artists issue releases on a steady basis like they always do, the music they offered was of exceptional quality. Multiple hit singles off one LP were scored by the leaders like HUEY LEWIS, ELTON JOHN, PRINCE, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, LIONEL RICHIE, CULTURE CLUB, THE CARS, and DURAN DURAN.

Best of the New It was a runaway decision as to which new artist made the biggest impact chartwise....the unusual, crazy and multi-talented CYNDI LAUPER rakes in four titles in the Top 100. two in the top 30. for the honor. Other first timers in the Top 100 include JOHN WAITE, WHAM!, BILLY OCEAN, BILLY IDOL, COREY HART, NIGHT RANGER, PEABO BRYSON, SCANDAL, SHEILA E, NENA, TRACEY ULLMAN, THE ROMANTICS, BANANARAMA and JOHN CAFFERTY.

Going It Alone Solo efforts became more fashionable than ever over the past year as a number of performers tested the competitive

waters without the benefit of being backed by their respective bands. Leading the pack in this department is Journey's STEVE PERRY, whose first single "Oh Sherrie", went to number two in May. Heart's ANN WILSON and Loverboy's MIKE RENO produced a winning combination with their beautiful ballad from Footloose, "Almost Paradise". Styx's DENNIS De YOUNG, J.Geils' PETER WOLF, and Fleetwood Mac's CHRISTINE Mc VIE, also make their debut appearance on this year's Top 100.

Better Than Ever One of the most unexpected delights of all was witnessing the re-emergence of TINA TURNER. For the first time ever, Turner has a number one pop single and two entries in the Top 100. Radio and listeners weren't about to say no to the return of YES either. The original members regrouped and with the assistance of producer Trevor Horn carved a new style for the 80's.

Miss Me Blind Make that color blind! A growing number of Top 40 programmers began responding more and more to R&B crossover hits in 1983, and that trend continued in an even bigger way in '84. Above and beyond the major stars who make multiple appearances on the Top 100 (LIONEL RICHIE -4 and PRINCE -3) Top 40 radio made room for KOOL & THE GANG, THE

POINTER SISTERS, CHAKA KHAN, SHEILA E.,PEABO BRYSON and others. Just as R&B radio culls the best of what fits formatically out of the Top 40, many Top 40 PD's rediscovered that these "urban" crossovers are a mainstay of the format and the source from which pop music and rock 'n' roll evolved.

Sight 'N' Sound Exposure through video, motion pictures and live appearances influenced the chart like never before in 1984. Weeks on the road for LIONEL RICHIE, DURAN DURAN, HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS, ELTON JOHN, THE JACKSONS and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN elevated record sales and their power. Hollywood saw the dollar signs, too, and augmented by concentrated radio play, produced box office giants like Footloose, Breakin', Ghostbusters, and Purple Rain. Television's role in breaking new music grew to new heights. MTV made its way into more living rooms than ever before, forcing reluctant programmers to keep a close eye on sales and requests generated by their airplay and a host of local imitators around the country. And as the year came to a close, the daytime soaps broke yet another artist, JACK WAGNER, with his hit "All I Need". Seeing is believing, and the ralationship between TV and music has never been stronger.

A Three Letter Year Yes, 1984 will be remembered as a banner year for top 40 radio. The mood of the country was most certainly in tune with the music. If one overriding theme ran through the year's biggest hits it would have to have been spelled by that simple three-letter word, POP. Those who create the music we listen to reflected the upbeat, positive attitudes of the public and in turn gave radio in general, and Top 40 in particular, a wealth of product unprecedented so far this decade. One things for sure, 1985 has a mighty tough act to follow.

We hired our new national guy because he brings a mix of street -smart sensibility and savvy overview to our promotional program. 11. Cagle loves me. 12. I'm leaving this major market PD post because of a long-standing desire to enter the consultancy field. 13.

14. Rick Carroll loves me. 15. Everyone says I look like Warren Beatty ... not just record execs with an album up for review. 16. Our star morning man has helped, but it's our balanced music mix that's primarily responsible for our huge numbers. 17. We need 50 copies of Erotic City for a giveaway to Boy's Clubs. 18. Helen Reddy looks good for next week. 19. It's true we're doing TOP 40 on AM, but we should have no trouble scoring competitive numbers. 20. I understand every word in Ron Fell's album reviews. 21.

49er GOLD RIVALS RAMS Not that anyone at this publication cares about the outcome of this Friday's SAN FRANCISCO 49ER/LOS ANGELES RAMS game ... KYUU-SAN FRANCISCO now includes "The Dwight Clark Report" at 7:45AM during DON BLEU's morning show, during which Mr. Clark gives his informal presentation of a review of games played over the past weekend and discussions of upcoming games. On Friday, December 7th, Dwight asked a Trivia question about himself-"How many pass receptions have I caught this year?"-and the caller with the correct answer -45 --won a pair of tickets to this Friday's 49'er/Rams game. The Dwight Clark Trivia promotion, needless to say, lit up the phones at KYUU that morning!

AM STEREO IN CHICAGO AM broadcasters in CHICAGO have joined together with the Sony Corporation for a major AM-stereo pro- motion. The participating stations are WLS, WMAQ, WGN, WAIT, and WGCI. The month -long promotion will provide AM-stereo information to consumers as

well as "call -in" giveaways of Sony's AM/FM stereo Walkman and AM-stereo table radios. It will be sup- ported by over 150 retail locations in the CHICAGO area. Those retailers will provide informational bro- chures along with point -of -purchase displays which allow consumers to listen to AM-stereo through stereo headphones.

HALLOWEEN DOG COSTUME CONTEST In one of DES MOINES' most successful promotions, Q102 staged a "Halloween Dog Costume Contest" on October 27th. Listeners dressed up their dog and brought it to a sponsor's parking lot for judging. "Top Dog" honors were garnered by Rocky, a great dane dressed as Culture Club's "Dog George." The "Creative Canine" award went to a pink elephant, while a Cyndi Lau per look -alike took back to the dog house "Celeb- rity Canine" accolades. Winners received a trophy and a 50 pound bag of dog food.

FOOD DONATIONS KINK/FM combined efforts with CROSBY, STILLS & NASH to help feed hungry families throughout the PORTLAND metropolitan area. KINK urged everyone who attended the band's concert on December 3rd to bring a can of food as a donation to the area's hungry. Volunteers from the Interagency Food Bank set up receptacles for the food donations prior to the concert and then distributed the food to service agencies who feed the hungry.

CANS FILM FESTIVAL The price of admission to first -run movies during the holidays is taking a new twist in TACOMA. KNBQ, along with participating theaters, is sponsoring their 3rd annual "Cans Film Festival" to benefit local emer- gency food providers for families who are in emer- gency situations. To attend these films, the audience brings canned and non-perishable foods, hopefully worth the price of admission, if not more. Moviegoers enjoy the films and the feeling that they are doing something for a worthy cause.

A REAL TURKEY The management cf WZZU-RALEIGH, NC agreed to let morning personalities GARY DICKSON and NOLA ROEPER bring a new oven into the main studio to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Earlier in the week, GARY and NOLA asked listeners to call in with their favorite recipes. With a microphone in one hand and a spatula in the other, they cooked up a fifteen pound turkey, candied yams, gravy, dressing, and even a pumpkin pie

with a chocolate crust. It was great on -air entertain- ment ... and great off -air feasting for the staff at WZZU.

GRANDMA REMEMBERED EACH CHRISTMAS by Ron Fell

Fortunately Christmas music only gets played at one time each year. That way the novelty of Elmo & Patsy's "classic" Christmas song, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" may never wear off.

Certainly the most irreverent Christmas song in a decade, "Grandma" tells the sad tale of a woman who partys hearty under the influence of a keg of eggnog and then has an all -too -close encounter with one of Santa's sleigh schleppers.

Originally recorded in 1979 on Oink Records, the first pressing was for 600 copies. But it has since sold more than 200,000 copies in the past four years and now is available on Epic Records.

The song was written by Randy Brooks and provided the big break Elmo and Patsy Shorp- shire were looking for. Brooks and Elmo & Patsy were in two different bands both playing the casino lounges of Lake Tahoe. Brooks' band was stranded by a snowstorm and with nothing better to do decided to pitch Elmo & Patsy and a song he thought would be perfect for their set. The rest is musical history. Initial major market exposure came from Gene Nelson at KSFO in San Fran- cisco in 1979, whose penchant for playing the weird and the wonderful is legendary.

16

Elmo and Patsy Elmo, a veterinarian, and his wife Patsy, an

airline stewardess, are formerly members of a country pop group called The Turkey River Band. Besides recording off-the-wall novelties and countrified Christmas songs, they've done radio and TV spots, and both appeared in the movie The Right Stuff.

According to those who keep track of such things, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" is the biggest selling Christmas single of the year. A dubious distinction when you consider that "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby and "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs are the season's perennial sales leaders. Crosby recorded White Christmas in 1942 and The Singing Dogs went into the studio for this historic session in 1955.

The song's unique approach has not come without controversy. In making fun of Grandma, Elmo & Patsy have been picketed by a militant senior citizens organization, The Grey Panthers. The Shropshires have also gotten a shot on TV's 60 Minutes and are now on top of the Christmas music charts.

Elmo says that their celebrity status has come slowly but surely. "The song was really popular three years before anyone knew who we were. It took people that long to associate us with the song." With the success of the song, says Elmo, "our career as performers has allowed us to move up from bars where we were just providing background for drinkers. Now people listen to us."

THE GAVIN REPORT

FEED THE WORLD: BOB GELDOF EXPLAINS BAND AID by Kent/Keith Zimmerman

One of the most added records in America this past week was "Do They Know It's Christmas" by an ad hoc aggrega- tion of British musicians known as BAND AID.

The music calls attention to the tragedy unfolding in Africa-the starvation, malnutri- tion and probable death of a nation's people.

For those who take the time to listen, the song puts in a humbling perspective the relationship between the Christian world's Season of Happiness, comfort, joy and the abject horror of human suffering.

With the hope that a song could call needed attention to the crisis, Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats mobilized a star- studded troupe of England's most popular artists and on November 25th, the recording session took place.

We talked to Geldof about the project.

KZ: How did you get the idea to do all this? BG: I saw the BBC Report that alerted the world to the monstrous tragedy which is happening over there. I couldn't stand it, literally. I just had to do something-and I'm in the position to do something other than putting my hand in my pocket. Sting said, when we recorded the song, "It doesn't matter how much you give. It isn't enough." The way that I could do something was to give something of myself. So I wrote the song and I called up everybody who made the equal commitment of getting there-no matter what part of the world they were in-Japan, America, Dublin, Germany-to get there for that Sunday morning. And they did. That was two weeks ago. Since then, we've sold three million records. KZ: Was Midge Ure (of Ultravox) one of your collaborators? BG: Midge wrote the song with me. I

wrote the beginning bit, the lyrics, and the melody. The end bit after the middle eight, he wrote. We wrote the middle eight bars together and joined our two songs. KZ: Who are the singers on the A side in order of appearance? BG: Paul Young, Boy George, George Michael, Simon LeBon, Tony Hadley, Sting, Bono, Paul Weller, Marilyn, and Glenn Gregory. There's a load of them together, then EVERYBODY together. KZ: How are you planning to make sure that all the food, aid, or money actually gets to the people who really need it? BG: I talked to the UNICEF people on

the ground there and they said it's the best government they've worked with. In fact, it's very stable, politically. They were in Bangladesh and they said, "Those guys-forget it!!" This govern- ment is actually trying to help the people there. They said they're certainly one of the most honest governments they've ever worked with.

This thing is actually above politics. We set up the Band Aid Trust that is

made up of trustees which include Lord Gowrie (Minister of Arts in Britain), Lord Harlech, Morris Oberstein (the head of CBS in Britain), Michael Grade (the Head of the BBC), with Midge Ure and myself representing the bands. We're the trustees. A trust fund has been set up called the Band Aid Trust. It's being monitored by a firm of accountants called Story/Hayward. Everybody's in it completely free-even the accountants. The books are open for public inspec- tion on a permanent basis.

The money will go straight into the Band Aid account. We're getting a very high interest rate and no bank charges have been charged. In June when we think most of the record receipts will have been entered into the account, we will then look at how much we have. We will consult with all the relief agencies- I've talked to five already-with regards to their needs.

I'm going to Ethiopia next month. I

didn't want to go before because I

would have been ashamed. But now I

think it imperative because the record has become a sort of repository trust. I've given my word that every penny that we receive will get to those people. Not one penny will be paid in administrative fees. Nobody will get paid. Every penny that someone hands over the counter (for the record) that we get will end up in someone's mouth and will keep them alive. I'm going to live up to my word and go there in January. I'll go to the Sudan. I'll go to Ethiopia. I'll look at the situation and talk to the government and talk to the relief agencies on the ground. I've already been in contact with cargo ships and we've already contacted brok- ers in the World Grain Market. We'll

December 14, 1984

know what we're doing come that time. KZ: When do you think the first food shipments will arrive? BG: I don't want the grain shipments getting there before the summer, because if the next rains fail in Ethiopia, then the state of the problem we see now will be minor in comparision. Twenty-eight million people potentially will die. We cannot stand by and see that happen. KZ: This is pretty much food in the bank for next summer. BG: One of the reasons why I did this in the first place was that I was afraid that when the publicity inevitably dies away, there's not going to be any aid getting there. Already there's too little aid. It's just a trickle. Our little tiny bit is nothing to what the U.S. government could commit themselves to. They recently gave 395,000 tons of grain. That's nothing! It's a laughable insult almost. The European countries gave a million tons of grain last month. That's

Bob Geldof nothing. You can't even measure how little that is in terms of the problem.

That's why we called it the Band Aid. If you have a deep wound that requires stitches, you don't put a band aid on it.

What we're doing is the best we can do. That's all we're asking everybody in the record/music/radio business. It's the first time we can all really come together and work on something where it's above politics. It's a question of saving literally millions of lives for people who have nothing. No clothes, no food, nothing. The poorest drunk in America is richer.

I'm appealing to record dealers to please waive your profit on this one record. Give the profit to the record company who will put it into the Band Aid Trust. Tower Records (in the U.S.) have already done this immediately. The retailers in Britain are doing this com- pletely free-every single retailer! Every cent is important. All the radio stations-it doesn't matter if you're R&B, Country, Soul, Disco, or Heavy Metal, whatever. It has nothing to do with taste or choice. It is as imperative to play this record as it is to buy it. It's almost like a

human duty. It's only 2 dollars. This whole industry has been given one shot and we can do something great.

ANALYSIS December 14, 1984

We're talkin' major music folks. The A/C chart is stuffed like Michael Jackson's Christmas stocking. Even the un -lined records in the top ten remain strong. That includes the lady with the loose ornament on her tree, Cyndi Lauper. The Madonna stall at #25 is probably only temporary though a small percentage of A/C's wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Before we close for the Holidays next week I expect the Elton, Foreigner, Ronstadt and Streisand/Carnes to increase their respective rotations considerably. Of next week's debuts the Culture Club, Manhattan Transfer and Don Henley are most likely.

P.D. NOTEBOOK by Eric Norberg

THE OTHER KIND OF LICENSE

Assuming you have your broadcast license, if you intend to play music, you need a music license. The two primary sources of these are BMI and ASCAP. Some broadcasters aren't sure what these organiza- tions are, or how they work. They collect license fees from broadcasters and other licensees, and distribute them among composers of the songs played, according to various formulas of their own. They are separate from record companies, which also have royalties to pay, and their hold over broadcasters is that they represent the copyright owners of the songs. If you play the songs on the air without paying the license fee, you are violating the copyright laws, and can be sued on that basis. Many broadcasters also have a license from a third organization, SESAC, although their catalog consists mostly of C. W. McCall records, and a handful of other Country product, and quite a bit of gospel and other religious music. Most stations could get along without a SESAC license, but SESAC, being aware of that, seeks to maximize its licensed stations by monitoring closely those stations that don't have licenses, eventually perhaps catching them playing a SESAC song and threatening to take them to court for copyright infringement unless they buy a license. (If you are not a SESAC licensee, monitor very carefully the music on your Sunday morning religious programming; that's where SESAC usually pounces. Some of the syndicated religious programs may contain SESAC songs.)

Incidentally, if you were wondering how Arbitron and Birch can enforce their rules about unauthor- ized use of their surveys, that's how: they retain ownership and copyright, and you, the subscriber, simply lease the use of the survey. If you violate terms of usage, you violate their copyright, and they can sue you.

And if you were wondering how the British music industry is able to limit the amount of airtime music is given, it's because the record companies retain ownership of their product, in a way they do not in the United States. This is separate and distinct from the music publishing licensing fees. Since the record companies retain ownership of the records, they license radio stations to play them, and restrict the amount of airtime they can receive. They do this in the belief that they will sell more records if people hear them less often. It's hard to tell if that really works or not, but it has had the effect of stultifying the British music industry unnecessarily; if you can't play many records, you broadcast the hits, and exposure of new material is prevented to a considerable degree. Also, old favorites keep becoming hits over and over again. Wink Martin - dale's 1959 hit "A Deck Of Cards" has been a chart hit in England several times over the years, and will probably make the charts again one day.

CERTIFIED

UNITED STATES I -IV -LAURIE ANDERSON (WB)

A staggering collection by one of the most

1 innovative forces in the entertainment industry.

/%1' Do They Know It's Christmas -BAND AID (Columbia) Quite a bit of planning is now going down as a result of this almost spon- taneous action initiated by BOB GELDOF of the BOOMTOWN RATS. The combined forces of almost forty musicians have started the wheels turning towards shipping much needed supplies and grain to ETHIOPIA. So far, this one small record has raised more resources than the entire UNITED STATES government has contributed in total. Playing this record is important because every enlightened listener that buys one two dollar record insures that come next summer, if the next rains should fail, and (he catastrophe in ETHIOPIA quadruples, there will be some flow of food long after the headline attention wears down. Please don't take fny word for it, by all means. Turn to PAGE 17 and read GELDOF's own explanation.

"Back Again (Try)" TOMMY KEENE (Dolphin) TOMMY KEENE melds minds with two creative kingpins, T. BONE BURNETT and REM knob twister DON DIXON. The results are extra special. This is a quantum leap from KEENE's promising debut EP, reviewed last year inside these pages. Since those first sessions, KEENE has taken ten steps forward towards entering the big leagues. I'm willing to bet the pennys from his loafers that TOMMY KEENE will be attracting big attention in 1985.

Charlotte Sometimes/Shake Dog Shake/Primary/The Walk -THE CURE (Fiction -UK) A superior live concert album by THE CURE, which you can expect to see released here sometime in '85 (at least I hope so). Stripped of their studio excesses, THE CURE rival NEW ORDER and ECHO and the BUNNYMEN as prime purveyors of heady English rock n roll. This absolutely 100% live LP (no overdubs) crams ten tunes that have made THE CURE one of the most respected ALTERNATIVE ACTION bands.

28

Mind Your Own Business/Honky Tonk Blues/I Still Want You - HANK WILLIAMS (Polydor) Alongside all the musical misfits of the past (ELVIS, JERRY LEE,BEATLES, STONES, DYLAN, MILES, CHARLIE PARKER,COLTRANE), HANK WILLIAMS takes his rightful reign alongside. RARE TAKES F. RADIO CUTS is a fond collection meticulously assembled with detailed notes, master numbers, dates, personel--every possible origination this historical music sprang from. Alternative Radio should bone up on these tapes because, if you think about it, if there weren't no HANK, -the REPLACEMENTS, JASON & SCORCHERS,REM, or ELVIS COSTELLO may never have picked up their instruments. World Destruction -TIME ZONE (Celluloid) This is not a love song, either. Mr. JOHN ROTTEN of his own world meets the MR. T of the dance world (AFRIKA BAMBAATAS). Produced by BILL LASWELL, JOHNNY and AFRIKA BAMBAATAS sound like they're in the middle ut a heated streetcorner argument Actually, they're decrying the violent state of the world today. The hook is the synth line on top of a rowsing instrumental track. Side 2 is a track by track disection featuring the near forgotten voice of FRITZ MONDALE. Excitement -CHRIS STAMEY (Coyote) Formerly the RADICAL fraction of the dB's, this is CHRIS STAMLY's first music since leaving the dB's lust before they cut their fine LP on Warners/ Bearsville. This must be DON DIXON WEEK at the GAVIN, because the best work on the LP is half his. Fans call 404-872-16ò2. Law And Order/Fine Tunin'-CRAZY 8's (Red Rum) PETER and I have been watching the CRAZY 8's record gather steam since early August. The band has now hatched out more than a regional Northwest following, crossing the line into other college markets across the country. This eight piece outfit is fast becoming a college radio staple on its own merits. I'd call 503- 292-2183 and ask MARC BAKER what's next.

So hey, did you notice that all the acts on the cover of our special FACES OF 84 issue are all AMERICAN?? Purely accidental, but interesting nonetheless...Congratulations to BRUCE SPRING- STEEN for making it to number one for the whole year. Ain't no doubt about it. He won the Album Radio buzz of the year, no matter what the stats say elsewhere. I'd also put his LP in the ole personal Top Ten. After a while it did grow...CAN WE TALK

29

DEPT. Between you and me, outside of about a dozen or so acts on the ALBUM RADIO 1984 TOP 100, it sure looked like a dog year. Lots of stuff I wouldn't be caught dead groovin'to at home. It's funny, too, because I heard great music all year long. It's just that I don't see much of it on the Top 100. Sorry, I just hadda say it...All you FOOTBALL HOTSHOTS get a chance to show your stuff. Turn to the middle spread of this week's GAVIN for your COLUMBIA/LU FIELDS FOOTBALL THING. Cash booties to those who kick bootie. Go 49ers! ! ! That's who I'd pick if I

were allowed to enter. Please don't ask DAVE SHOLIN for advise. He wishes he could pick team winners as well as he picks the hits...THE BOYS IN THE BUNKER were quite amused by the CANDID PHONE gags on the RICK DEES ALBUM. DEES is relentless and the censor with the cuckoo sounds over the nasties is a tad slow on the draw...CONGRATS to ELEKTRA pioneer JAC HOLZMAN. Before there was MOTLEY CRUE, there was a rich culture in the folk/blues scene of the early sixties which HOLZMAN helped bring to world prominence. ELEKTRA has released two beautiful box sets capitalizing on their rich past --one on the folk scene in THE VILLAGE and one on white blues of the sixties. Absolutely bountiful...MORE CONGRATS to all those who had a great 1984. I know we did. The record company breakdown on the TOP 100 ALBUMS showed WARNER BROTHERS /GEFFEN /SIRE /ETC. number one with the most entries on both ALBUM RADIO and ALTERNATIVE ACTION. That means more winners plus more in the on deck circles of AA. Nice going , BUNNYMEN...HEY!!! Don't forget we got one more issue so all you radio types pleeze phone in MONDAY or TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17 1. 18. We'll have a special custom surprise cover we'll be proud of fur years. See you then.

ANALYSIS 415-392-7750

GENERAL PUBLIC is threatening to regain the number one position with XTC narrowly holding on. These two albums, along with #3 THE RAMONES, are the three most powerful records in the format. Hence, their inclusion into our POWER TRIO. Chart movement is minimal, with the top four

albums remaining in the same position for the third consecutive week! No records entered or exited the Top 10 this week either. Such lack of activity in Alternative Action is rare. The primary reason for this is the lack of many "heavy" releases the past month. This e> >lains why we had no CERTIFIED last week. Performance artist LAURIE ANDERSON breaks

through with an impressive jump on the chart to #14. This huge gain, and CERTIFIED status, could lead her into the Top 10 next week. While the momentous 4 LP collection is brilliant, she must be seen live to be fully appreciated. FRANKIE and the REPLACEMENTS both

experience a resurgence that moves them up within the rigid Top 10. Both exhibit potential for more growth which explains their underlines.

REMEMBER! we will be taking calls this week on MONDAY (17th) and TUESDAY (18th) only. Thanks for all your support this year and we'll talk to you once more. Peter

ANALYSIS

JOHN SCHNEIDER'S "Country Girls" easily won the MOST ADDED race. The third place winner in the TOP REQUESTS headline was not posted, but ALABAMA and MEL McDANIEL equally share the purse. After stalling at #21 for three weeks, RICKY SKAGGS moved to #20

this week. The points support the move, regardless of some stations dropping "Something In My Heart". Vigorously, LACY J. DALTON debuts at #30. VERN GOSDIN with his "Slow Burning Memory" is ready to inflame. With merit, ED BRUCE and GENE WATSON continue to glow. RAY CHARLES with WILLIE NELSON and their "Angels" are energetic in ACTION SIDES. The ardor for LEE GREENWOOD'S single builds daily. Please call us with your last report for 1984 before 5PM on Tuesday, December 18. Your co-operation is always appreciated.

ANALYSIS "The Men All Pause" for KLYMAXX makes a big impression all across the country...for example KELLY KARSON at WTLC-Indianpolis has it at #3, KEN RUSH at KNOW -Austin has it at #3, BARRY RICHARDS at KGFJ-Los Angeles has it at #5, B.J.TAYLOR at WBLX-Mobile has it at #5, FRED HARVEY has it at #12 at WQQK in Nashville and at #20 at WVOL-Nashville, JEFFREY PAUL has it at #13 at WJKX-Moss Point, TONY HART has it at #14 at WWDM-Sumter, STEVE CRUMBLEY has it at #20 at WQKS-Williamsburg, JEFF WYATT 6 FRED BUGGS have it at #21 at WUSL-Philadelphia, JERRY MASON has it at #26 at KRNB-Memphis, and BILL ST. JOHN has it at #26 at KIIZ-Killeen. We could go on and on but it looks pretty "Certified" with just those markets. The DIANA ROSS story looks pretty much the same, with big jumps, more than the usual 5 or 6 points, probably because of the time of year and the time of the month of December. If you check Dave's "Analysis" in the Top 40 section, you will see once again that our choice for "Pop Crossover" is his choice for Top 40's "Record To Watch" - one Miss

TEENA MARIE. He liked it the first time he heard it and is pleased that it found Its way into the playlists of some major market Top 40 stations. As for the newer product, released the past two weeks, GEORGE BENSON and RONNIE LAWS make the cut for the "Most Added" entries during a time when few stations are adding anything but a few new or old seasonal Christmas hits. Speaking of seasonal product, the release of BAND AID's "Do They Know It's Christmas" is further explained on page 17 of this publication and is being played by some of our Correspondents as well as by Top 40. The cause is worth the effort made and could be a meaningful addition to any playlist .

Our "1984 R&B Top 100's" are on page 44 of this week's issue - be sure to check it out against your own markets for further input. Let me know how it stacks up - we value your impressions and comments on this - and on anything we're doing - to improve the contents of our Report. Next week is our final chart for the year. Please be sure to call in your reports by Tuesday, 12/18.

THE GAVIN REPORT PERSONAL PICKS

Jßß PERSONAL PICKS

NEW EDITION-Mr.Telephone Man (MCA) You just can't miss when you go to Ray Parker Jr. for a little help. All those instantly familiar Parker licks, including his infallible production techniques, make the mass appeal record New Edition has needed. If you didn't play "Cool It Now" you missed a genuine hit, and this one should be even bigger.

DAVE'S PLACE

WRKR-Racine/Milwaukee programmer has completed his third book , Pat Martin's Major Market Method .

Commenting on what motivated him to write the book, Pat says "There's a need for it. Over the years, I've found a lot of people do a lot of wheel spinning and waste their time in the wrong situation. When I was in Stevens Point (WSPT) about 4 or 5 years ago, it occurred to me that there are a lot of little tricks and secrets to moving up that can help everyone improve their current situations."

Pat has laid out the book in easy to read and understand form and uses the examples of personal experiences of others he knows who have followed his guidelines. His initial printing will be 1,000 copies. Those interested in receiving a copy should send their name, address, & station/company name plus a check for $20.00 to Pat Martin, 906 West Montana Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53215.

Happy Birthday, Little Richard...His Royal Highness turned 52 Wednesday, 12/5 and celebrated at a big bash thrown by his friend, "Dancin' Teddy" I:cCiuiston the following day at L.A.'s California Juke Box...tutti fruitti ice cream for dessert?

Wanna know more about Rick Dees and the KITS success story...an article on that very subject, written by Ben Fong -Torres is featured in the January edition of GQ Magazine (even includes several quotes from a guy named Dave Sholin) .

Gannett's powerhouse San Diego outlet, KS103, has a rare opening for a youthful but not childish sounding early evening talent. Contact Mike Preston at the station if you're interested.

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK

"Real Live" -Bob Dylan (Columbia) It probably took less than three wise men to decide to record Dylan's recent summer tour of Europe. He's rockin' hard with Mick Taylor playing a prominent lead guitar. Dylan puts a saw - tooth edge to some of his classic lyrics with an evocative performance. You could say this is just another live Dylan LP, but then again Dylan ain't chopped liver. Dylan's lyrics have an enduring quality that not only stand the test of time but also adapt themselves to more contemporary interpre- tations. Many of the songs chosen for inclusion here are landmarks on the American musical landscape.
