 SPECIAL NOTE:  This week, for the 5th week in its Top 40 history,
 there is no #1 on WABC's survey!  This time, there is also no #2!
      
 NOTE:  Note that WABC did not report numbers 1, 2, 6, 9, and 15. 
 The songs at these positions probably had a harder edge to 
 them, such as:
 Centerfold - J. Geils Band (EMI America) 
 I Love Rock 'N Roll - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts (Boardwalk)        
 Call Me - Skyy (Salsoul)
 Shake It Up - The Cars (Elektra)
 Mirror, Mirror - Diana Ross (RCA)
 We Got The Beat - Go-Go's (I.R.S.)
 Spirits In The Material World - The Police (A&M)
 Pac-man Fever - Buckner & Garcia (Columbia)
 Abacab - Genesis (Atlantic)
 Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me) - Rod Stewart (Warner Brothers)
 (Oh) Pretty Woman - Van Halen (Warner Brothers)
 Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band (EMI America)
 Do You Believe In Love - Huey Lewis & the News (Chrysalis)
 
 As WABC's music format edged to a more adult sound, fewer harder 
 songs (of any variety - rock, urban, etc.) were played or noted.
