* Streak does not include EPs, singles that missed the Hot 100, or reissues & B-sides that missed the Top 40. ** Streak includes all of that artist's Hot 100 entries up until this chart. *** As you might imagine, determining a streak for The Beatles was a bit tricky once I hit the morass that was 1964. I didn't count the 2 EPs that missed the Top 40 that year. Whitburn counts “Sie Liebt Dich” (#97) on the Swan label as a reissue, so am I. Also, “Roll Over Beethoven” (#68) & “All My Loving” (#45) were actually Canadian releases so I didn't count them. **** includes hits with Wings billing. ***** Doesn't include “(What A) Wonderful World” (#17, 1978), as it was a Garfunkel solo single billed as “with James Taylor & Paul Simon”. Also doesn't include “For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her” (#53, 1972), a cash-in live single issued well after their initial breakup. Does include “Hey Schoolgirl” (#49, 1958) which was billed to Tom & Jerry, so they don't get an "all of their Hot 100 entries up until this chart" designation.

Motown did the same thing with "One Day In Your Life" in 1981. It became Michael Jackson's first #1 hit as a solo artist in the UK, but only reached #55 in the US. Cash-in singles have really been a bugaboo when it comes to determining streaks on this thread. Early on, I instituted the "Al Green rule" wherein cash-ins that miss the Top 40 don't count. (Named after Al Green because Bell Records plopped out a couple of his early recordings in the middle of his early '70s hot streak). That disqualified "One Day In Your Life" & allowed MJ's hot streak to start with singles from Off The Wall instead of Thriller. Alas, by hitting the Top 40, "Farewell My Summer Love" doesn't violate the Al Green rule, thus the footnote. Thus far in this little endeavor, that's the only time a Top 40 cash-in has blown a streak - the few others have actually enhanced an artist's streak: for example, the Beatles on last week's '82 chart. Interestingly, applying the Al Green rule to the UK Top 40, MJ would've had a streak of 13 straight top 10s (from "Got To Be There" thru "Thriller") if Epic hadn't released a fifth single from Off The Wall over there - "Girlfriend", which stalled at #41. (A Paul McCartney composition, ironically). After "Thriller", "P.Y.T." stopped at #11, & then he was right back in the top 10 with (you guessed it) "Farewell My Summer Love"!

I might be stealing a bit of thunder from this thread if the 6/6/87 show is played but upon hearing the 5/23/87 show, I realized something will occur on that show that is spotlighted in this thread. All of the artists in the top 5 will be having their biggest hit at the time of that chart. Not only that but they all followed the same pattern through their first 2 top 40 hits. The artists are U2, Kim Wilde, Atlantic Starr, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and Chris DeBurgh. Their first top 40 hits peaked at 33, 25, 38, 34 and 34, respectively, so not much of an impression. Their second top 40 hits however (3 of which are in said show while the other 2 are on their third such hit,) all made the top 10.
