Program Highlights for Tuesday 27th January, 2009

We started the show with Paul Mac "Just the Thing" tonight. And ode to all those who partied hard and hunted well over the long weekend.....

First up this week is the next in our series of the top 4 selling singles of a year of the 80's. This week it's 1988.

Track 1: My Prerogative - Bobby Brown #4
Track 2: Never Gonna Give you Up - Rick Astley #3
Track 3: I've got my Mind Set on You - George Harrison #2
Track 4: I need You Tonight - INXS #1


Our guest tonight was Leanne. Leanne previously brought us the likes of Alice Cooper, and tonight, showcased David Bowie for us.

Track 1: Rebel Rebel
Track 2: Sorrow
Track 3: Modern Love
Track 4: Under Pressure



You'll be able to hear what Leanne had to say about David Bowie by clicking through to the podcast here.

Next, we took a look at both the ARIA and AIR charts for the week.

A band that has charted significantly over the past year, in the UK and here in Australia, is The Kings of Leon. We thought we would give you a bit more of a listen and some background regarding what is actually their fourth studio album, Only By the Night, which currently sits at #1 on the ARIA album charts.

Track 1: Use Somebody
Track 2: Manhattan
Track 3: Revelry
Track 4: Sex On Fire


Finally tonight, we brought you an icon of the eighties, Bonnie Tyler.

Hope you enjoyed, have a great week.
