Hi!
Mariah Carey has the record with the most consecutive #1s with 10 on R&R. Who is the second place ? On BB, Whitney Houston has the record with 7 consecutive #1s. But Whiney's first #1 on BB "Saving All My Love for You" failed to hit #1 on R&R. So she has 6 consecutive #1s on R&R.
Does anyone remember Casey's comment on CT40 when Mariah scored consecutive #1s ?

I did not catch many CT40 shows but I was listening when Mariah's streak ended. It was stopped by Ace of Base's The Sign which stopped Without You at #2. Can't help you with your question however.

While someone else hopefully answers corey's question, I have a couple questions. Wasn't Mariah's 10 straight #1s from the start of her career? And a more loaded question, why is CT40 not being aired these days like AT40? Is it legal/rights issues or is CT40 deemed not popular enough to be rebroadcast?

On the Mediabase Top 40 chart (which is a continuation of R&R as they used Mediabase), Lady GaGa had six straight #1's from the start of her career.

Whitney Houston is more than likely second.
Richard Marx had the record for first 12 singles hitting the top 10 I think. Mariah broke that one for sure.

When Mariah hit #1 with single #8 (I'll Be There), that was tying whomever held that lead.

We definitely need a R&R expert because I always wondered how Casey handled chart data from before 1973 on CT40 as R&R started publishing then. When a record was set like Mariah did, was it a R&R record only or was it for the whole rock era? In which case they would have to use Billboard or some other publication's chart data. An unwieldy situation to say the least.

On CT40, Casey and his staff handled the chart data before the birth of R&R, they probably used Billboard even though they didn't refer specifically.
For instance, when Casey told Elton John's continuance top 40 record, he said "he hit the top 40 every single year for 25 years in a row started with Your Song in 1970". Even though R&R didn't exist in 1970.
Early 1990s when Casey said the chart record, he often used the phrase "so far in the 90s", like the highest debut so far in the 90s or the biggest mover so far in the 90s.

He possible used the "what chart feat data works for the moment" method. I can tell you that on the Top 40 of 1989 show he referenced the #1 song of 88 as "Get Out of My Dreams (Get Into My Car)" by Billy Ocean and #1 of 84 as "When Dove's Cry" by Prince. I assume these were R&R's #1's of those years. |

"What chart feat data" would be the only way to describe that particular combination; while "Get Outta My Dreams" was their #1 song of 1988, "When Doves Cry" was not for 1984 - that went to the smash from the album of the same name (1984): Van Halen's "Jump". |

So where was it #1 in 84? |
