A double-page ad for the biggest Hot 100 act of the 80s (sixteen consecutive top 5 hits certainly helped with that) & one from the section celebrating Quincy Jones’ 40 years in the music industry.

Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jackson were all arguably at the height of their powers in 1989.

Al Jorgensen and Trent Reznor both entering the Modern Rock chart the same week seems appropriate.
