I know a 1 week AT40 song spends its lone week at #40 and #39, but for this weekend's AT40: The 80's episode with the May 24, 1986 AT40 show we had a 1 week wonder spending its only week at #38 - "Where Do The Children Go" by Hooters.
I know some AT40 songs have spent one week on AT40 at a position that's not #40 nor #39:
"Surfin' USA" - The Beach Boys (1974 reissue - #36)
"You're Going To Make Me Love Somebody Else" - The Jones Girls (1979 - #38)
"Radio Romance" - Tiffany (1989 - #35)
"Giving Up on Love" - Rick Astley (1989 - #38)
"If There Was Any Other Way" - Celene Dion (1991- #35)
"Move Any Mountain" - The Shamen (1992 - #36)
"Please Don't Go" - Boyz II Men (1992 - #37)
"My Name is Prince" - Prince (1992 - #37)
"Flex" - Mad Cobra (1992 - #38)

I remember it well - a decent size hit in NYC. |

This weekend's 5/24/86 show features "Where Do The Children Go" by The Hooters which spent its only week on AT40 at #38. Edit: OOPS! Four hours after my original post, I looked at the list dth1971 posted and didn't see he had already posted The Hooters' song. My bad!  |

And in the second Casey AT40 era: "The Great Beyond" by R.E.M. in 2000 reaching #38 for its only AT40 week. And was there a song in September 2001 that made #38 on AT40 by Ericka Badu and Macy Gray (duet)? - I forgot its name...
And do you remember a question asked in both the Casey and Shadoe Stevens AT40 era about the song spending the highest 1 week top 40 posisition? That song was "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry in the early 1960's.

That song was "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry in the early 1960's. 1956. It spent one week at #29 on the pre-'Hot 100' Top 100 chart. It only had five charted weeks. |

And was there a song in September 2001 that made #38 on AT40 by Ericka Badu and Macy Gray (duet)? - I forgot its name... "Sweet Baby". That song charted shortly after AT40 reverted back to the R&R chart after going by some oddball Mediabase chart for a little less than a year. |

"I Can't Stand The Rain" by Ann Peebles spent one week at #38. Her timing was off, unfortunately, as her only Top 40 hit peaked on December 22, 1973, the week of AT40's updated Christmas special.

I count a total of 8 songs that reached #38 or higher in their only Top 40 week during the original Casey era from 1970 to 1988. Besides the already mentioned songs by the Beach Boys, Chic, the Hooters, Jimmy "Bo" Horne, the Jones Girls, and Ann Peebles, there were "Country Road" by James Taylor (#37, 3/20/71) and "I Shall Sing" by Garfunkel (#38, 2/9/74).

And honorable mention: On the last Casey hosted AT40 CHR edition chart in January 2004 there was "Who Will I Run To" by Kiley Dean that entered at #38, but the next week the song was off the AT40 chart when Ryan Seacrest took Casey's place and the R&R chart source was abandoned in favor of AT40's own no recurrent rule chart. However, "Who Will I Run To" never re-entered AT40 at all after that. |

Thanks for mentioning Tiffany´s "Radio romance".
I almost forgot that song, but I still like it.
