Tim’s Vinyl Confessions: Ep. 763 – Radio & Records Top 30 AOR Chart Jan 17/86
Witness the AOR charts: Where Bon Jovi, Dokken and Aerosmith seamlessly rubbed shoulders with Stevie Nicks, Mike + the Mechanics, and various members of The Who. I join Tim Durling from Tim’s Vinyl Confessions and we explore this chart from forty years ago. RADIO & RECORDS TOP 30 AOR CHART JAN 17/86.
What was wild about this show was how different the AOR list was from the Top 40 charts. Some items falling down the AOR list were one of the top songs in the Top 40 which shows that the AOR radio stations got the best songs faster. A very diverse list of arts so come join the fun.
It will be live at 5pm on January 19, 2026 over on YouTube. Check it out!!
Here is the chart we walk through…
