On this week's 11/23/85 countdown, there are two debuts which both peaked at #18... "Emergency" by Kool & The Gang, and "You're A Friend Of Mine" by Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne. There have been a number of times in which two or even three debuts have gone on to hit #1, but how often has it happened that two or more songs which debuted the same week peaked at the same position between #2 and #39?
I found three times in which this happened in the latter half of 1983. On the 8/20/83 Top 40, "Kiss The Bride" by Elton John and "Don't You Get So Mad" by Jeffrey Osborne were debuts, and both would go on to peak at #25. On the 10/08/83 show, "Foolin'" by Def Leppard and "Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Jive" by Men At Work debuted, and both went on to peak at #28. Just three weeks later on the 10/29/83 countdown, "Automatic Man" by Michael Sembello and "Queen Of The Broken Hearts" were both debuts, and both would peak at #34.

There were also three debuts which would go on to hit #1. * 8/2/72: "Back Stabbers" by The O'Jays and "Saturday In The Park" by Chicago debuted with both peaking at #3. * 9/9/72: Six songs debuted with two peaking at #1, two peaking at #2 and two peaking at #18! The two peaking at #2: "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley and "Use Me" by Bill Withers. The songs which would peak at #18 were "Get On The Good Foot" by James Brown and "The City Of New Orleans" by Arlo Gutherie. * 9/16/72: "You Wear It Well" by Rod Stewart and "Why" by Donny Osmond debuted with both peaking at #13. * 9/23/72: "Tight Rope" by Leon Russell and "Listen To The Music" by The Doobie Brothers debuted with both peaking at #11. * 11/4/72: "Ventura Highway" by America and "Convention '72" by The Delegates debuted with both peaking at #8. * Had there been a regular 12/2/372 show, two of the debuts would peak at #3: "Why Can't We Live Together" by Timmy Thomas and "Oh Babe What Would You Say" by Hurricane Smith. * Had there been a regular 12/30/72 show, two of the debuts would peak at #7: "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye and "The World Is A Ghetto" by War.
Interesting that three of the times two songs debuting the same week have gone on to peak at the same position (other than #1), Chicago has been involved.
