I haven't listened to the
Weekly Top 40 in quite a while. Here's a listing of non-charting Sure Shots from the notes that I do have (apologies if some of these have already been posted). I listened the WT40 pretty regularly from '92 to '94. I headed off to college in the fall of '94, so my records are pretty spotty after that. In the early '00s, I pretty much gave up on the WT40 all-together.
It's pretty interesting to see what odd singles the WT40 crew genuinely believed would be hits.
