Recently on AT40, "Stay With Me" went 7-6-5-4-3-2-1. I don't think that's ever happened before on CHR. Believe it or not, Bill Conti did this with "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From 'Rocky')" in 1977. It moved 7-6-5-4-3-2-1, then dropped to 4 the next week. |

Maybe this has already been mentioned in this thread but I don't feel like going through the whole 9 pages to find out. Shadoe just mentioned that Madonna had a streak of 16 straight singles that were the highest debut on the Hot 100. Time out. Had to hear "Don't Close Your Eyes" by Kix, powerful song with a powerful message. Anyway, Madonna's streak ended when her current hit "Oh Father" debuted at 55 but was topped by Janet's "Rhythm Nation" which debuted at 49. BTW, "Oh Father" also ended her top 10 streak at 17. So the top 10 streak was one song longer than the highest debut streak because her first top 10 "Borderline" was not the highest debut. It's also the lowest peaking of her top 10 hits during that streak at 10. Shadoe did not mention the top 10 streak, just me chiming in!

Not sure if anybody else did this in classic era. Probably has post 1991 with "featuring" or with a guest rapper. Not sure if that counts. In 1984 Kim Carnes charted solo (Heart Beat Faster, I Pretend), as a duo (Make No Mistake w/Barbra Streisand), and as a trio (What About Me w/Kenny Rogers and James Ingram). I'm guessing this year, either Jessie J, Ariana Grande or Nicki Minaj has done it - all three teamed up for "Bang Bang", and have had other hits as well. |

Here is another, Pink Floyd most week's on album chart. This will never be broken since people don't buy albums anymore. Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" just hit 900 weeks on the charts. That is the record that is not going to be passed anytime soon. |

Maybe it was mentioned, but how about The Beatles having a lock on the hot 100 top 5 in 1964?

Let's hope Ryan mentions it this weekend. It's a pretty big leap and something that shouldn't be ignored. Here here on that! It definitely deserves props...it came pretty darn close to tying the AT 40 record, if it does indeed jump to 1. I was trying to think of other big leaps to number one between "UA/AH" and "Blurred Lines". I don't know the 70's charts well enough to comment on those. In the 80's, was "Rapture" the biggest jumper from 6 (or 7) to 1? In the 90's, I do remember "I Don't Wanna Cry" jumped, I think from 8-1 in 1991 but I can't tell you for sure about any songs after the revamping in November of that year. Just off the top of my head (two years and one month later):
1973..."The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," Vicki Lawrence, #10 to #1 1973..."The Morning After," Maureen McGovern, #9 to #1 1976..."50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," Paul Simon, #10 to #1 Yes, "Rapture" (#6 to #1) was the biggest leaper in the '80s.

Casey of course did not announce that climb in the 90s because he was not counting down the hits on the Hot 100. It was R&R for all of the 90s and I just heard what may be the biggest climb to the top in that decade. "Dreamlover" rocketed from 8 to 1 on the CT40 for 8/28/93.

The biggest move to #1 during Casey's Top 40 was 10-1, done by Madonna's "This Used to Be My Playground" in 1992. |

Today marks the anniversary of Air Supply's "Even the Nights Are Better" setting a record by falling from #6 to #42. Until then, no other song had ever dropped out of the top 40 from a higher position. |

Until then, no other song had ever dropped out of the top 40 from a higher position. Does anyone know if this has since been broken? It certainly was a pre-Soundscan era record, but with all the crazy action over the past 24 years, it wouldn't surprise me if a song at a higher position than #6 fell out of the top 40... |

Just listening to the 10/4/86 show, and Casey did a piece about Conway Twitty's 40 #1 country hits being an all-time record for any chart (and twice as many as the Beatles had on the pop chart). I have to imagine that one would be nearly unbreakable...
