Something tells me that Larry M. may have gotten the information from Wikipedia, which also says that "DDB" spent 8 weeks at #1 on the Soul chart. (Quote in Wikipedia is: "On the US Billboard R&B chart, it held the number one spot for eight weeks.") He may have gotten the info elsewhere, but that's my hunch... Let me add that if this is not the case, my apologies to Mr. Morgan. |

That one line on that page is the incorrect one - scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see what I mean.  |

Whitney's album was the first album by a female artist to do that same thing (only difference is 6-27 was her debut week). |

July 16, 1988: #1 on the Country chart: "If You Change Your Mind" by Roseanne Cash #1 on the Dance chart: "What's On Your Mind" by Information Society #1 on the Black Singles chart: "Paradise" by Sade #1 on the Album chart: "Oh, You Ate One Too?"...I mean OU812 , by Van Halen Listen to Casey's pronounciation of Van Halen's album...the band intended its title to be sort of a take-off on David Lee Roth's Eat 'Em and Smile, but with the way he pronounces it this week, it almost sounds like the word-for-word question. |
