I was kind of surprised that Rick Springfield and Elton John were (then) tied with 11 Top 40 hits in the 80’s. I don’t think Casey mentions Wham/George Michael which is pretty surprising as well. Casey manages to again not say the title of George Michael’s song (“I Want Your Sex”). Impressive he only said the title a few times seeing as the song we on the charts for months and almost went to number one. In this case there were "phases" in which the song title was mentioned and "phases" in which the song title was not mentioned. But each of the two "phases" began - as far as I know - with a guest-hosted show.

"American Top 40, we're upto the current hit by a band that's had 17 Top 40 hits, including Top 10 smashes like, Can't Get It Out of My Head, Evil Woman and Telephone Line, and with Olivia Newton-John a song called Xanadu, up 5 notches to 28, here's ELO with Hold On Tight" - Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from August 22nd, 1981 After hearing "Hold On Tight" on Casey Kasem's American Top 40 Mighty 690 AM radio show back around August 1981 while with family near Ventura, California, a US Route 101 road trip to Santa Barbara's Mission when I was just 8 years old, Dad then bought me my very first Electric Light Orchestra album from Tower Records, an audio cassette of Time by ELO, thus started the fandom 42 years ago! The perhaps somewhat striking French part of "Hold On Tight" recalls a current of New Romantics at the beginning of the 80s. At that time it was "en vogue" to have a great interest in cities like Paris, Vienna, ... to have. A typical representative of this current is the band Visage with the song "Fade To Grey", where the French translation "Devenir gris" is also included in the lyrics.

Thanks for the information. Maybe one of the following URLs can help:

So would I be. Because they weren't tied with 11 - they were tied with 15. George, even with Wham!'s included, only had 10 at that point, with "Sex" as his 10th. The Faith album would give him 5 more - also putting him at 15...but then Rick would have one more and Elton would have 5 more (tying him with Billy Joel for...second-most? among all acts. I forget: Did someone manage to get 21 or no? Hall & Oates had 22).

I predict 9/13/86 for the week of September 9. 1986 last had a standalone in late June so it's time (and it was last aired in 2018 as a 'B')

While Phil Collins had 25 including Genesis. (But their breakdown is much closer to even: Phil had 14 without Genesis, who had 11 as the group.) It seems like by the time they really started finalizing that category for the 80s coming to a close, they'd stopped combining groups and solo hits for solo singers' totals, such that it's generally accepted that Hall & Oates had the most with 22. There MIGHT have been one reference to Phil's combined 25 total post-1988, but it hasn't been/wasn't referenced as often.

Wikipedia in particular counts it - they go out of their way to count absolutely everyone even remotely associated with large-scale collective records (thus, EVERYONE on USA For Africa gets counted separately, EVERYONE on Voices That Care gets counted separately, EVERYONE on 2008's Artists Stand Up to Cancer gets counted separately, and so forth). I and others don't count "collective" records in soloists' totals - but for Elton, it'd still be 15 at this point in '87, as instead of "Friends", he'd have "Flames of Paradise" from just the previous month in that total.

Regarding “collective” records, personally I’d only count them for artists specifically credited in their original billing. So Band Aid or USA For Africa I wouldn’t count as a hit for any individual artist. “That’s What Friends Are For” (“Dionne and Friends”) I’d credit to Dionne Warwick, but no one else.

Since Wikipedia is open-source-edited, it really shouldn't be considered a 'last word' in how things like this are counted. All it takes is one rogue person going through entries with their own agenda to skew the stats.
