This week in 1984

As in the lists of best bands, best albums, etc. of the magazines, I take these charts as something referential, actually just for fun, and not an absolute truth.

So I don't understand how GAHOM, a song I like very much, reached #1 in Adult Contemporary but Hold Me just reached #7.

And You Make Loving Fun reached #27 in the same category. Wasn't it adult enough?

I read the adult contemporary definition is a form of radio-played popular music, ranging from 1960s vocal and 1970s soft rock music to predominantly ballad-heavy music of the 1980s to the present day, with varying degrees of easy listening, pop, soul, R&B, quiet storm and rock influence. Adult contemporary is generally a continuation of the easy listening and soft rock style that became popular in the 1960s and 1970s with some adjustments that reflect the evolution of pop/rock music.

If YMLF didn't fit in that definition, shouldn't it be included on the list, or should it?
