	This might be a little picky, but "Eye in the Sky" wasn't by Alan Parsons; it was by The Alan Parsons Project, so it might be more suited in the "A" quiz than this one. Other than that, great quiz as usual.

	To add to nhrafan, I think it should stay in P but be Alan Parsons Project. Also "Wake Up (Next To You)" was by Graham Parker & Shot. And just as you normally list duet partners, you forgot (Stephanie Mills &...) for Teddy Pendergrass.

	@Bouchkilele: Thanks for all the info - it's amazing how much you know; I thought I was pretty good at this. Made the first two changes and I dropped the late, great Teddy Pendergrass, as I have decided that being "featured" on a song doesn't make one eligible for these lists (can you tell that I'm looking ahead to the '00s?)

	Thanks caramba. Been following the Billboard charts since 1982 and know all the peaks of every Top 40 hit in the 80's. I still keep track, but my memory from the 90's onwards isn't as good, since neither was the music :)
