I believe the answer is RSO records with 21 consecutive weeks at #1 with 6 songs from Dec 77 through May 78. Exactly right, Dougray!! Good job!! ;D

No one?
Okay...I'll start this again:
What single spent the most weeks on the Hot 100 without reaching the top 40?

Wasn't it "Switchin' To Glide" by the Kings?

So, I'm going to hafta say, I was given an answer that was wrong when I wrote that question. The answer I was given was a single that charted for 21 weeks without reaching the top 40. "Switchin' To Glide" appears to have charted for longer.....

I've got a good one. "I'm Sorry" by John Denver & "Lady" by Kenny Rogers are the only two songs to accomplish this triple feat in AT40 history. What are they?
Hint: a possible third song did this after 2003, but the one must consider the source to confirm this.

I'll guess that those two songs reached #1 on the BB Hot 100, #1 on the BB Adult contemporary chart and #1 on the BB Country Singles Chart

They did indeed accomplish THAT triple feat, but many other records did the same thing in AT40 history. So that is not the correct answer I'm looking for.

I'll guess that those two songs reached #1 Airplay(R&R), #1 Adult contemporary and #1 Country.
That is the only difference with I Can Help (Billy Swan) which hit #1 on R&R, Hot 100, Cashbox & Country, but only reach #6 AC that I can see.

Ok. I didn't think this would stump anybody but here's the desired answer:
They are the only two singles in AT40 history taken from a #1 album to top both the Hot 100 and the Country chart.
The possible third was Taylor Swift's "We're Never Ever Getting Back Together." The problem is this feat occurred in Billboard while AT40 was using Mediabase at the time, which does not track album sales.

Ok, here's one... there are surprisingly many acts with an AT40 #1 (within the first Casey era 1970-88) that did not chart *at all* in the UK, but who also had a different song go to #1 in the UK? They include some of the biggest acts of all time (Paul McCartney, the Bee Gees, Cher) as well as both the Osmonds and Donny Osmond solo.
But -- what artist had a US #1 that totally missed the UK charts and had a UK #1 in the same year?

The problem is this feat occurred in Billboard while AT40 was using Mediabase at the time, which does not track album sales. I was confused about "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" which was on John Denver's #1 album "Back Home Again", but that was not the version that hit #1. Btw, I forgot that "She Believes in Me" went #1 R&R, Country & AC.

I remembered he topped the US charts with "Tell Her About It" and the UK charts with "Uptown Girl." I do not know if the former missed the British charts completely though.

Good try, but Tell Her About It hit #4 in the UK. Hint: This artist's first AT40 appearance was in 1971; this artist's last song to appear in the AT40 countdown went #1 AC (but never made the Top 30 on the Hot 100).
