Did "Runaround" hit number 1 on the Mainstream chart?

Nope! "Run-Around" peaked at #4 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. But it had a very lengthy run in the Top 40 from April to December '95.

^ That virtually mirrors what happened on R&R (5 weeks at #5 there) - I believe the only YE difference is that it and "Kiss From a Rose" are swapped compared to here.

There was a song in R&R's Top 100 of 1995 by Fun Factory that never made the Top 40. Did it make the Top 40 in Billboard?

"Close to You" by Fun Factory DID make Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart; it spent one week on the chart at its #40 peak on the 4th week of May '95.

I don't think that is the song that is being talked about. Pretty sure it would be "I Wanna B With U" which would have been a little later on in '95...I say that because on a different thread I mentioned how that song had just set the record on R and R for spending the most weeks in the Top 40 and not cracking the Top 20...it would end up spending a half a year or so on the R and R top 40 |

Accordingly, the fact that "Close to You" still made their Top 100 that year is all the more notable. "Close to You" spent 3 non-consecutive weeks on R&R's chart, peaking at #46 - it debuted on the inaugural week that they went down to 50 positions. Whereas, with "I Wanna B With U", you'd expect that song to make the Top 100. |

That's crazy! Fun Factory doing some crazy stuff with two songs! |

You're exactly right! Close to you was the number 97 song of the year in 1995, and never did hit the top 40...that's the silliest thing I think I've ever seen chart wise!

So, I'm a little ticked at Billboard. A lot of their 1995 issues are up on Google Books (I'm inclined to think they all are from '95, actually), and I've been looking at the Mainstream Top 40 charts just to see how they compare with R&R's of the time. Or at least, I was...until they abruptly decided to stop publishing the chart in the magazine, effective with the May 27 issue. From what I can see, there was no announcement of it or anything - they just decided to stop putting it in there. What the hell did they do that for??  |

Actually this is the case for todays CHR chart as well, an at least ONE reason why AT40 no longer does a Top 100. Becuz songs were being played at the bottom of the Top 100 year end chart that had never been played on AT40 (never reached the Top40). No doubt due to the fact that AT40 now-adays doesnt seem to have a recurrent rule so some songs can spend a year on the show. |

No doubt due to the fact that AT40 now-adays doesnt seem to have a recurrent rule so some songs can spend a year on the show. Yeah, I remember that, in 2006, "Ever The Same" by Rob Thomas never hit the AT40 chart, yet managed to snag itself a spot on the year-ender. That one didn't surprise me, however, as it had spent a long time in the lower reaches of the CHR/Pop chart and must have been very close to the Top 40. The real corkers on that year end chart (IMO, anyway) were the fact that "Listen To Your Heart" by DHT kicked off the show even though it had spent but a single week on the chart (at #40, no less) within 2006. I have no idea what the time frame of the chart year was, but I'd heard that they used no stats from December, 2005. The weirdest thing, however, is that "Mr. Brightside" had made the chart, even though it had dropped out in October, 2005, never to return. It must have spent an awfully long time right outside the Top 40 in early 2006. Barring a statistical error, that's the only logical explanation. |
