Not sure if that was a correction or an FYI. But I was referring to the R&R chart not the Hot 100. On the latter, she had 2 in the top 40 and "Angel" at #41 on the 5/4/85 chart to just miss the mark. Should have had 3 in the top 40 that week. "Angel" had entered on the Hot 100 the previous week and all of the other releases from Like a Virgin hit the top 40 in either their first or second week on the chart.

Totally missed the 'R&R' in your post.

In subsequent occasions telling that same story about Madonna, Casey reveals who that French disco star was and it was Patrick Hernandez who had "Born to be Alive". Which also puts a time stamp on Madonna's time in Paris...1979. Only 2 hits in the countdown for her instead of the 3 that Melanie had in the 70s show. Madonna will have 3 songs in the top 40 on the R&R chart twice in 1985. On the 5/4/85 chart, it will be "Crazy for You", "Material Girl" and "Angel". And then on the 6/15/85 chart she will have "Angel", "Into the Groove" and "Crazy For You" in the top 40. Just pulled up 6/15/85: "Angel" is at 9 and "Crazy For You" is at 30. "Into the Groove" did not chart on the 'Hot 100'. It was the B-side of 'Angel', as I recall. You would have to get "Into the Groove" on the B-side of the 12 inch version of "Angel" by Madonna, of course, not the 45 single version.

AT40: The 80's 2/23/1985 had a question letter to Casey about acts who hit the top 10 under 2 different names: Bobby Bare/Bill Parsons, David Seville/Chipmunks, Jan and Arnie/Jan and Dean, and The Moments/Ray Goodman and Brown - Can you think of any others post 1985?

There is one rather obvious one though it is not quite the same. Prince had several top 10 hits under that name but in 1994, he hit the top 10 with "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" under his unpronounceable and not on a keyboard symbol.

about phil collins easy lover, great wall of china Casey mentioned that the Great Wall of China can be seen from the moon with the naked eye. This has since been proven to be an urban legend, as the wall is not wide enough to be seen from so far away.

I will go ahead and predict 3/14/81 for the week of March 9. Is not 1981 the last remaining year not to have been featured in 2024?

If your guess is correct, then all nine eligible years will have each had one turn this year (not counting the 1983 year-ender the first weekend of 2024).
