As mrjukebox noted under the other thread, the AT10 Spotlight was on the acts who scored at least five hits from a single album.
When introing Huey Lewis & The News, Casey mentioned that they've got 5 smashes from "Sports" and even 7 ones from "Fore!".
Can you help me with what these have been, I can only think of: "Stuck With You" "Hip To Be Square" "Jacob's Ladder" "I Know What I Like" and I guess "The Power Of Love" is also included on this CD, but which songs make it seven, I can't remember?
I think in the case of "Sports" these have been: "Heart & Soul" "I Want A New Drug" "If This Is It" "The Heart of Rock'n'Roll", and "Walking On A Thin Line".

"Doing It All For My Baby" was also a hit from "Fore!".

Thanks for the 6th, now it seems to me that it did chart in September 1987?!

"Power Of Love" didn't appear on a Huey Lewis album until their first greatest hits set in 1996, so there were definitely only five hits from Fore!

It would not surprise me one bit if some intern researcher just looked up the entry for the group on Wikipedia. On that page, 7 singles are listed. However, 2 did not hit the POP or AC Charts. "Whole Lotta Lovin'" reached #38 on the Mainstream Rock Chart & "Simple as That" peaked at #47 in the U.K.

I don't remember exactly how it was on AT40 (Billboard's chart) but on the Radio & Records chart I think they've had 3 #1s from this album, including "Hip To Be Square" as well.

... and yes, I just played the show of August 8, 1987 for myself and Casey introed "Doin' It All (For My Baby)" as the 13th Top40 Hit by Huey Lewis & The News on that show.

Just to sum up I would say that taking all the above information into account, sometimes it doesn't seem very easy to decide what to announce but the album produced 7 hits this way and the info said was 7 hits not Top40 Hits of Pop or AC hits or even the US hits...
Thanks for the answers.
