"Back In Time" by Huey Lewis & The News from the motion picture "Back To The Future" got alot of airplay on the radio but wasn't released as a single. Also the live version of Elton John's "Love Song" from his "Here and There" album got alot of airplay but never charted.

What about "I Got You Babe" by Beavis & Butthead featuring Cher?-I remember hearing it on "Casey's Top 40" in 1994.

As far as the R&R chart is concerned, you are right Jaxxalude. But remember that CT40 was a week behind R&R-therefore "I Got You Babe" was included in the CT40 Dec 18, 1993 and Jan 8, 1994 shows (Dec 25, 1993 and Jan 1, 1994 were the dates of the CT40 1993 Year End Special)

This one almost escaped me: Blind Melon's "No Rain".

This one almost escaped me: Blind Melon's "No Rain". No Rain actually did get released as a single. The only thing was it was one of those "blink and you'll miss it" releases. By the time the song got mass acceptance, the single had long since been deleted.

Here's a great database of local radio charts from around the country. Search by artist, title, label, station, etc. Fun to see regional hits, album tracks, etc, that charted: www.las-solanas.com/arsa/charts.php

Actually, "Torn" did chart on the Hot 100 but this was the result of a decision, effective Dec 1998, to allow songs not released as singles to chart. By that time, however, "Torn" had long reached it's peak of popularity and was on its way down the chart. See Joel Whitburn's "Book of Top 40 Hits" for more on this.

On this week's 1985 show Casey mentioned Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming. It was a massive hit the prior Summer but didn't get released as a single until months later as the flip to #13 peaking Do What You Do.

Rembrandts I'll Be There For You would have been massive if a single had come out timely. Instead it could only muster #17 when finally getting a delayed commercial release as the flip to This House Is Not A Home.

Sister Sledge's "Lost In Music" and Donna Summer's "Sunset People" got a lot of airplay in the fall of '79. Both could've gone top 10.

Janet Jackson's "State of the World" was a radio hit in 1991, reaching #4 on the R&R chart (CT40/RDWT40). It was not issued as a single and so didn't make Billboard's list or AT40; if it were it would probably have been the eighth top 10 hit from her "Rhythm Nation 1814" album, which I think would have been a record at the time. I remember posting a thread inquiring about the reason for the last-minute decision to not release "State of the World" as a single. Shadoe mentioned, at the start of the March 9, 1991 broadcast, that it may have had to do with lyrics such as "What is happening to this world we live in, in our home and other lands?" - and somebody likely speculated that it may have been sensitive in nature given the Gulf War was happening at the same time. I agree, it probably would have been a top ten hit if it had been released as a single - but probably not top five.
