(PR) Christopher Cross sails his way up to the #1 spot as his song, �Sailing,� tops the VH1 countdown special as the most softsational soft-rock song. Dim that lava lamp, pour a chalice of white zin, and cuddle up to the velvety-smoothest two-hour special in VH1�s history with favorites from artist like Chicago, Bread, Styx, Hall and Oates and Lionel Richie.

The 2-hour countdown special, �40 Most Softsational Soft-Rock Songs,� premieres Friday, June 1 at 9 PM*. It�s all the soft rock hits of the seventies and eighties complete with commentary from a panel of celebrities, comedians, journalists and soft rock experts. Topping the list is Christopher Cross with his #1 hit song �Sailing� from his 1980 self-titled debut album. The hit song won Grammys for best new record, song and arrangement of the year.

As an added bonus, we�ll reveal the touchy-feely tunes� hidden back-stories, along with the whereabouts of their creators. Viewers will indulge in sax-heavy, irony-free classics from the likes of America, Barry Manilow, Air Supply, Toto, Doobie Brothers, 10cc, Kenny Loggins, Captain & Tenille, Mr. Richard Marx, and dozens of other gentle giants.
