"Say You, Say Me," Lionel Richie (1/11/86)
Ooh, this doesn't start '86 off promisingly. See, Lionel's problem wasn't his arrangements, as limp as they often were. It was the fact that in reaching to write wedding/anniversary anthems for the whole of the world - and once he started tasting pop success on his own, that seemed to be all he wanted to do - he had to dumb himself down to the lowest common denominator to keep racking up the hits. This is one of the most well-meaning pieces of bunk to top the chart in the decade. Wonder why American Psycho's Patrick Bateman was more a Huey Lewis fan and not a Lionel fan? D
