It makes me wonder though. (You Want To) Make A Memory never charted at all in the USA, yet it is chosen as best pop song? Shouldn't the best pop song actually be a song that was in the charts for some time, since that's the intention of a pop song? A popular song?

I agree about the McCartney record - I enjoyed it.

Memory may never have charted here (I'll take your word for it - I seldom look at charts) but it has been all over the radio. Everybody seems to know it - even the 18 year old friends of my daughter who certainly don't listen to Bon Jovi. At the Newark shows with a Jersey audience it was one of the biggest sing-alongs of the evening. It certainly has been out there getting an audience.
