I tell you, #41 is the worst spot to be peaked especially when it spends more than a single week there - ouch! And imagine having your first 2 songs that barely missed. Although not at #41, Missing Persons did it with Words at #42 and Destination Unknown at #42 in 1982, two of my all time favorites. What a shame!! They never came close again.

Linda Clifford had 4 songs that hit the Hot 100. 76 and 54 were her first two. Her last two (Bridge Over Troubled Water and Red Light) peaked at 41.

Probably my favorite in this category is "Minimum Love" (1982) by Mac McAnally. I remember hearing it on Dick Clark's National Music Survey (I think that was right after he switched from Cashbox to R&R), and being disappointed when it missed AT40. This is one of my favorites too! When I first heard it I thought it was the new one by JT. Unfortunately it came at a time when JTs sound was on its last radio legs.

And if you used Billboard Radio Monitor sources used for Shadoe Stevens AT40 from November 1991-December 1992: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana and "Divine Thing" by the Soup Dragons both missed Shadoe AT40 territory both reaching #41 on the Top 40 Radio Monitor.
