You are basically right. There were 3 instances in which the ranked song was not played and another version was played instead. So in actuality there were 10 extras played in total.

What about the American Top 40 20th Anniversary special? Not counting the drop-pieces (and counting the music montages as one song), there were less than 40 songs, right?

Debbie Gibson, who was a teen sensation back in the day, subbed for Shadoe Stevens in late-June 1989. At age 18, I think she may have been the youngest person to do the announcing duties on AT40 during all the runs combined. That was true until 2004 when Hilary and Haylie Duff guest hosted for Ryan Seacrest. In fact, I think they even pointed out that they broke Debbie's record for the youngest people ever to guest host the show. And that have been broken in the years since by Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or someone like that.

I know Funkytown by Lipps Inc. was one of only a handful of actual songs played in its entirety on that broadcast. Shadoe even acknowledged during the closing credits of the 20th anniversary special to mark July 4, 2010 on our calendars for the 40th anniversary. Little did he know that the original run would be cancelled less than 5 years later, and little did he know that Ryan would be hosting when the show would hit its 40th anniversary. Off-topic: Does anybody have the Debbie Gibson-hosted AT40 they could send to me?

This weekend's Premiere's 70s program started off with Joe Simon's "Your Time To Cry" at #40. It stayed in the #40 position for three consecutive weeks.
Your mission -- if you decide to accept it -- is to identify any song/artist that also achieved that bit of AT40 notoriety.

Willie Nelson spent 3 weeks at #40 in 1982 with "Let it Be Me".
And my fave of the now 3 songs that have been identified in this category is Blue Oyster Cult's "Burnin For You" in 1981.

"Burnin' For You" must be the notable of the three weeks at #40 since I'm sure it still gets recurrent airplay on the classic rock stations.

Apparently "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" by Night Ranger spent three weeks at #40 in 1983.

I have never had to go as deep into the pages of threads as I just did to dig this one up. Page 21. Anyway, during the 70s and 80s, there was at least one instance where an artist hit #1 on the album chart and that same week or the following week, hit #1 on the Hot 100 with a single that was not released from the #1 album. What was the #1 album and single?

While not quite exactly fitting your criteria. Michael Jackson was at number one with the duet "Say Say Say" while "Thriller" was at number one on the album chart.

Ok it has been about 24 hours so let's close this one out. Besides the two that were mentioned and really only Elton qualifies as you implied, there was one other instance of this happening. The week of 7/16/77, Barry Manilow reached the top of the album chart with his 'Live' album and the following week, he reached the top of the Hot 100 with "Looks Like We Made It". But that song is not on the live album, it is on his 'This One's For You' Lp.
