Sergej's Personal Chart Highlights – July 31, 1981 👑 Stability at the Top Rick Springfield holds firm at #1 for a second week with “Jessie’s Girl”, confirming its status as the defining pop-rock anthem of the summer 1981. The entire Top 3 remains unchanged, with Hall & Oates steady at #2 and Air Supply locked in at #3 — a rare moment of total stability at the very top. 🔥 Major Top 10 Movers Kenny Rogers makes a huge leap, soaring 8 spots into the Top 5 at #4 with “I Don’t Need You”, becoming one of the chart’s biggest success stories this week. The Pointer Sisters continue their steady climb, reaching a new peak at #5 with “Slow Hand”. The Manhattan Transfer score a major breakthrough as “Boy From New York City” jumps 7 places into the Top 10 at #9. Marty Balin also hits a new high, rising 4 to #10 with “Hearts”. 📈 Biggest Climbers Juice Newton explodes up the chart as “Queen Of Hearts” rockets 12 spots to #14 — one of the week’s standout moves. Kim Wilde enjoys a major resurgence, with “Kids In America” jumping 11 places to #13, giving her two strong Top 15 hits at once. Lionel Richie & Diana Ross surge 10 spots to #20 with “Endless Love”, quickly establishing itself as a future classic. Carpenters float upward 10 to #25 with “Touch Me When You’re Dancing”. 📉 Biggest Fallers Former chart titans take a sharp hit this week: Michael Jackson drops 8 to #12. Kim Carnes slides 6 to #11 after her long reign. Phil Collins tumbles 11 to #26, marking the steepest drop of the week. Adam and the Ants fall 12 to #23. 🆕 New Entries A strong wave of debuts reshapes the lower chart: Commodores enter at #30 with the funk-driven “Lady (You Bring Me Up)”. REO Speedwagon debut at #32 with “Don’t Let Him Go”. Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty arrive at #36 with the moody duet “Stop Dragging My Heart Around”. Foreigner storm in at #38 with “Urgent”. Greg Kihn Band debut at #39 with the punchy “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ’Em)”. 🎶 Notable Trends The chart is clearly shifting toward pop-rock and adult contemporary, while early-summer ballads and disco staples continue their gradual decline. With multiple songs peaking and a flood of high-profile debuts, this week feels like the bridge between early and late summer 1981 on Sergej's personal chart. 1) Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl (=) 2) Daryl Hall & John Oates - You Make My Dreams (Come True) (=) 3) Air Supply - The One That You Love (=) 4) Kenny Rogers - I Don't Need You (+8) 5) The Pointer Sisters - Slow Hand (+3) 6) The Oak Ridge Boys - Elvira (=) 7) Kim Wilde - Chequered Love (=) 8) Joey Scarsbury - Theme From "Greatest American Hero" (Believe It Or Not) (+1) 9) The Manhattan Transfer - Boy From New York City (+7) 10) Marty Balin - Hearts (+4) 11) Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes (-6) 12) Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life (-8) 13) Kim Wilde - Kids In America (+11) 14) Juice Newton - Queen Of Hearts (+12) 15) Stars On 45 - Stars On 45 (-5) 16) Shakin' Stevens - You Drive Me Crazy (-3) 17) The Moody Blues - Gemini Dream (+4) 18) ABBA - Lay All Your Love On Me (+2) 19) The Alan Parson Project - Time (=) 20) Lionel Richie & Diana Ross - Endless Love (+10) 21) Ottawan - Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart) (-4) 22) Sheena Easton - Modern Girl (+3) 23) Adam and the Ants - Stand and Deliver (-12) 24) Ronnie Milsap - (There's) No Gettin' Over Me (+4) 25) Carpenters - Touch Me When You're Dancing (+10) 26) Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight (-11) 27) George Harrison - All Those Years Ago (-9) 28) Stanley Clarke & George Duke - Sweet Baby (+8) 29) Ricchi & Poveri - Sara Perché Ti Amo (+2) 30) Commodores - Lady (You Bring Me Up) (debut) 31) Santana - Winning (-2) 32) REO Speedwagon - Don't Let Him Go (debut) 33) Bob Marley & The Wailers - No Woman, No Cry (-10) 34) Billy Squier - The Stroke (-1) 35) Shakin' Stevens - This Ole House (-3) 36) Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty - Stop Dragging My Heart Around (debut) 37) Neil Diamond - America (-3) 38) Foreigner - Urgent (debut) 39) Greg Kihn Band - The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em) (debut) 40) John Schneider - It's Now Or Never (-1) New entries this week: 30) Commodores - Lady (You Bring Me Up) (Highest debut this week) 32) REO Speedwagon - Don't Let Him Go 36) Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty - Stop Dragging My Heart Around 38) Foreigner - Urgent 39) Greg Kihn Band - The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)

Top 10 Albums of 2025 Album of the Year 2025: Kendrick Lamar - GNX GNX is an album that reveals its brilliance with time, rewarding patience with depth and purpose. What makes it especially powerful is how every track feels earned, each one contributing something essential to the whole. As Kendrick Lamar’s first non-concept album, it confidently tackles a wide range of themes — his position in the industry, the journey that brought him there, and the present and future of West Coast hip-hop — all while spotlighting lesser-known collaborators. Despite its weight, the album never forgets to have fun, filled with memorable moments and bold structural choices. A richly layered, masterful record, and a deserving album of the year. Charting songs from the album: 01 Luther (with SZA) 02 TV Off (feat. Lefty Gunplay) 03 Squabble Up 16 Reincarnated 33 Peekaboo (feat. Azchike) 40 Heart Pt. 6 41 Man At The Garden 64 Dodger Blue (feat. Wallie The Sensei, Siete7x & Roddy Ricch) 66 Hey Now (feat. Dody6) 76 Wacced Out Murals 83 Gloria (with SZA) Tomorrow, I'll start with the Top 250 Songs of the Year!
