During the pre-SoundScan period, I believe that only two rock era recording acts had hits peak at each position in the Hot 100's top ten. Who are they? Oddly, both acts completed this achievement by peaking at the same position. (I'm not adding together the hits for acts that recorded both solo and in a full-time group. If I did, the only addition to the list that I can see is Ringo Starr.) Finally--one of these I should be able to figure out! I'll start off by eliminating the two most obvious candidates: Elvis lacks a #7 and a #10, while the Beatles lack #6 and #10. Chicago is another strong possibility, but I know without even checking Whitburn that they never had a #2 Billboard peak, so they're out as well. I'll be back... Correcting myself: The Beatles lack #6 and #9, not #6 and #10. "P.S. I Love You" peaked at #10 as the 'B'-side of "Love Me Do". Which is why Ringo would qualify if solo hits counted, as he peaked both at #6 ("Only You") and #9 ("Back Off Boogaloo"). Surprisingly, not so for Sir Paul, as he never had a #9 peak, even with far more solo/Wings top 10s than Ringo.

Posting what I believe is a rather easy question: What is the only AT40 broadcast show date that featured The Beatles and Elvis Presley within the top 10?

I like to leave trivia for those that might not be as familiar with AT40 as I am. But the answer to this is one of my favorite factoids about AT40. The first AT40 with that chart date of 7/11/70 just happens to be the last instance of many where Elvis and the Beatles were in the top 10 together. And to think that there would only be one more new recording by either that would make the top 10 is an added bonus. ""Burning Love" for Elvis in 1972.

This act had three Top 10 hits during the 1970-1988 Casey Era, and two of those three songs are currently being used on national TV ad campaigns.

I know that "Human" is in that insurance ad that shows people doing incredibly stupid things like driving through their garage door (which appears to be made of paper in the ad), but I can't think of any current ads with either "Don't You Want Me" or "Fascination" in them.

Doesn't Kingsford charcoal use "Fascination" for one of its commercials?

I don't remember the Chips Ahoy commercial off the top of my head but that makes three out of three Top Ten hits (songs anyway - as it appears Keep Feeling Fascination is a different version) used on national TV commercials. I wonder if any other act can say that?

The 2 women with the Human League were 19 years old when "Don't You Want Me" hit #1 on Hot 100. Who was the first artist to top the Hot 100 born in the 1960s?

mga707, you are correct. 3 members of the Sylvers were born in the 60's.

I am asking a question I admittedly don't know the answer to... but someone here probably does...
On this week's Billboard Hot 100 (the week ending August 2, 2014), seven of the Top 10 songs and thirteen of the Top 20 songs have one word titles. Are either of these a record of some sort... that is, the most number of songs within the Top 10 or Top 20 to have one word titles? If not, which chart contains the largest number of songs within the Top 10 or 20 with one word titles?

What Top 40 hit had the same title as an LP released four years earlier by the person who "discovered" the artist who performed the Top 40 hit?
