3.Downtown Train -- Rod Stewart
2.Opposites Attract -- Paula Abdul
1.How Am I Supposed To Live Without You? -- Michael Bolton (3rd week at #1)
Will Michael stay on top for a 4th week or can Paula or Rod claim the top spot? Let's count 'em down!
Four debuts this week:
#38 Personal Jesus -- Depeche Mode (their first hit in 5 years)
#36 Here And Now -- Luther Vandross (his 6th pop hit)
#35 Sacrifice -- Elton John (his 46th top 40 hit)
#29 Just A Friend -- Biz Markie (first hit, real name Marcel Hall)
droppers :
Swing The Mood -- Jive Bunny + The Mastermixers (11 wks on; #11 peak)

Rhythm Nation -- Janet Jackson (12 wks on; 2 wks at #2)
I'll Be Good To You -- Quincy Jones (feat. Ray Charles/Chaka Kahn) (8 wks on; #18 peak)
The show gets started with two hits on their way out, Joe Kocker at #40 with his former #11 hit "When The Night Comes" (dropping from 25, it's the biggest dropper )
At #39, the oldest song on the chart, "Back To Life" by Soul II Soul, a former #4 hit which slides from 34 to 39 in its 18th week in the top 40.
Luther Vandross has had a lot of success on the Black singles chart, and as a producer and background singer, On the Black chart he has had 20 top 40's, 15 top tens, 10 top 5's and 4 #1's. On the pop chart, only 6 top 40 hits. The sixth is his debut this week, "Here And Now."
Question letter:
Has any artist hit the top 40 with the same song both as a solo artist and as a member of a group? Shadoe says "not quite." But there was one instance of a solo artist providing guest vocals to a remake of his hit, "The Twist" by The Fat Boys featured Chubby Checker when it hit #16 in 1988.
