Genesis will be the next group to place 2 of its members in the top 40 at the same time, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford. In June 1986 they will be in the top 40 while Genesis itself will also be in there. This alludes to a question about which groups/bands had more than one member with solo hits on AT40 at the same time. The answers were Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, and Fleetwood Mac twice, in different combinations, they being Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham in 1981-82 and, starting this week (nice timing!) Nicks and Christine McVie. What's more, Stevie and Christine's songs were back to back in this countdown, making for the perfect spot for Casey to answer the question.

Yes that's what I was alluding to since it was in this week's show. To go a step further on this topic, the closest this occurrence came to happening in between Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Fleetwood Mac doing it was in October 1972. That's when J5 members Michael was riding the chart with his #1 hit "Ben" and Jermaine was peaking at 46 with "That's How Love Goes". (Interesting title there as it is another way of saying 'that's the way loves goes' which sister Janet had a huge hit with). Anyway, Michael and Jermaine did eventually get into the top 40 at the same time in 1980 but Jermaine was no longer part of the Jacksons then.

Also Peter Gabriel is in and so is GTR featuring Steve Hackett. One week all 5 are in the same top 40.
I think GTR debuts the week before "Take Me Home" drops out?
For the week of June 7... Mike + the Mechanics were #5, peaking Phil Collins was #26, last week on Peter Gabriel was #32, second week on GTR was #35, second week on Genesis was #37, debuting But I believe dukelightning is referring only to those members who were still in the group at the time. On tonight's Jukebox Diner on SiriusXM, Lou Simon asked a trivia question that happens to be related to this very topic. He said, "A group lost its lead singer. The new lead singer took the group to its one and only #1 hit. Then the original lead singer came out with his one and only solo #1, and actually replaced the group in the #1 spot. Meanwhile, the new lead singer had a solo hit in the top 40, featuring the old lead singer on backing vocals. Name the three songs." I e-mailed in with the correct answer, Lou mentioned me, then he played the set -- "Invisible Touch", "Sledgehammer," and "Take Me Home." And yes, I followed up about "All I Need Is a Miracle" and "When the Heart Rules the Mind."

“Send Me An Angel”. Such an underrated song. Should have been a much bigger hit. Should’ve charged higher IMO. It was re-released in 1989 but didn’t get much higher than when it was released in 1984.

Love both versions, with a slight edge to the 1989 remix. Wish they both peaked higher. Great songs!

Regarding 2/4/1984: Casey's tribute to Jackie Wilson was great with 3 of Jackie's song snippets. And Casey mentioned Gary Owens as he was talking about how Gary helped get the Three Stooges star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to tie in with "The Curly Shuffle" (Though Casey didn't mentioned Gary Owens guest hosted for Casey in September 1981 but Casey made mention of Gary's Soundtrack of the Sixties radio show. - Does ABC still own the Soundtrack of the Sixties radio show rights? It isn't part of Premiere owning the Watermark properties.)

Any idea on what the B show is this weekend? 1987. Probably February 7, 1987, which last aired in 2018.

I figured that it would have to be 1987 or 88, as we just got 1984 last week and 1983 next week. And 1985 and 86 soon should turn up on their own.

Great song! It's always the first song I think of when remembering Winter 1984. Then Wrapped Around Your Finger, Think Of Laura, Here Comes The Rain Again, and that Vincent Price mess - but Send Me An Angel first.

Winter 1982 this week and one of the songs I think of is "Let's Groove". Could be considered Earth, Wind & Fire's biggest hit in some circles. But it is probably "Shining Star" although to reach #1, it did not have to deal with hits like "Waiting For a Girl Like You" or "Physical". One way to look at hits from different years is to see where each ended up on the year end surveys. Groove was #18 whereas Star was #7. But in looking at vince's listings, I see that the #2 hit of 1982 had 1221 points. That amount of points would have only gotten a hit to #50 in 1975. So it is apples and oranges there trying to compare those 2 years. (I was trying to see which had more points but the different point systems in those years makes it a moot point).

Both this week's 80s shows were last played in 2018 with the same extras, and at the same time but in reversed order, with 2/7/87 as the A and 2/6/82 as the B. (1987 A's continued to get B's until early 2020, and 1988's did until a year later.)

Back in October, I posted a comparison of the year-end rankings for those two years according to the books Ranking the '70s Version 2.0 and Ranking the '80s. "Shining Star" came in at #35 for 1975. "Let's Groove" counted towards 1981, but it would have been #23 for '82.
