Face To Face - "10-9-8"

[areyoureadytojump]

Went to #38 on the Hot 100 in 1984.

From the album Face To Face.

I lived in NH during the summer of 1984 and heard this on the radio a lot since FTF were from Boston.

I have the vinyl album. This track was OK but I preferred the heavier non-hit "Under The Gun", which had a terrific extended mix.

Spent 3 weeks in a row at #38 in Billboard's Hot 100 top 40 in July-August 1984.

Did it do better on the R&R chart?

Already done.

On the R&R chart, it peaked at #34 for two weeks and spent four weeks on the chart. I remember the song, but never heard it outside the countdown shows.

Do you remember the 1984 song by Face to Face called "10-9-8" which reached #38 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for 3 straight weeks?

Yes and I hated it.

I heard this on an internet radio station based on defunct R&B station 102.7 WBMX in Chicago.  I liked this song but prefer their other track "Under the Gun" (which was a dance hit in 84 but didn't make the pop charts). Was a bit surprised that this was a minor pop hit as it appeared a few 1984 episodes of "American Top 40" with Casey Kasem.

I am a week behind on these:

40 years ago this week, "10-9-8" debuted at #80 on the June 2, 1984 Billboard Hot 100.
