Thought to ressurect a chart rarity theme a bit. As you listened to the last week's show on AT20 you probably noticed that there was a slight change in the structure of segments in the last hour of the show that happens from time to time (and for me it makes the show more interesting, if it doesn't happen too frequently). Casey played another hit from the past, from 1989, Erasure's A Little Respect right after the song at # 5, then the next segment included the # 4 and # 3 songs only and the outro teaser was about the song at #2 "Apologize", not the chart topper.
The last segment thus started with Sheryl Crow's 1995 smash "Strong Enough" then the story tied with the #2 song was paid and after announcing the number ones on the other charts, Casey introduced the number one song by trivia related to it, in particular, tiing the record for the longest running chart topper by a woman, 16 weeks for Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly" tied with Avril Lavigne's 16-weeks-chart topping "Complicated" from 2002.
This reminds me some more shows from the past that had no story tied with the number one song, and it brings the question:
Which song is the longest running number one on AT20 by a male singer ?
