And these Shadoe Stevens AT40 Mainstream chart format episodes had for 1 debut or 1 re-entry weeks: * 1/16/1993 - 1 re-entry: "Rump Shaker" by Wreckx-N-Effect * 12/25/1993 - 1 debut: "Choose" by Color Me Badd * 7/16/1994 (The first week Shadoe Stevens AT40 was no longer heard on radio stations in the USA but continued internationally for 6 more months) - 1 debut: "Selling the Drama" by Live * 8/6/1994 - 1 debut: "Fantastic Voyage" by Coolio * 11/5/1994 - 1 debut (at #34, of course!) - "Lucas with the Lid Off" by Lucas You missed two: 12/17/1994, with "Take a Bow" as the week's sole debut at #33 (and replacing Lucas! ), and 1/7/1995, with "When I Come Around".

Maybe they should do a post on weeks of 2 debuts & 7 debuts as there are only a few of them per year as most weeks had between 4 - 6 debuts

Is 7 debuts the record for the most new entries during the AT40 era?

^^ reinfeld... I believe the record for most debuts on a show was nine debuts on the 10/11/1975 show which as hosted by Wink Matrindale.
#40: "SOS" by ABBA #39: "There Goes Another Love Song" by Outlaws #38: "Sweet Sticky Thing" by Ohio Players #37: "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" by Willie Nelson #36: "Sky High" by Jigsaw #33: "You" by George Harrison #30: "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen #27: "Low Rider" by War #19: "Something Better To Do" by Olivia Newton-John (which peaked just 6 notches higher at #13)

Is 7 debuts the record for the most new entries during the AT40 era? No--the high number of debuts for one countdown during the Billboard AT40 era (1970-95) was nine. That happened only once--on 10/11/75, and ironically it was a guest hosted week (Wink Martindale). There have been a handful of 8-debut weeks, including: 8/1/70 9/4/71 10/5/74 7/1/78 7/8/78 (yes, it really happened two weeks in a row, and neither week was a weekly countdown hosted by Casey) 5/12/79 6/13/81 8/1/81 4/10/82 6/19/82 I know for a fact that the four weeks in 1981 and '82 were the only 8-debut weeks in the 1980's, and I think these are all of the 8-debut weeks for the 70's. There were quite a few weeks during the 70's that had seven. Chart turnover really began to slow down by the end of the 80's. Note that there was another 9-debut week in 1970, but it was on the 2/7/70 chart--five months prior to AT40's inaugural show.

Wasn't there also an eight-debut week in the late spring/early summer of 1991?

Chart turnover really began to slow down by the end of the 80's. Not before one particular fit in 1987 - there were four 7-debut weeks in just a 2-month period: 3/14, 3/21, 4/25, 5/30. Plus one more during the summer: 8/15.

Plus one more during the summer: 8/15. True--maybe it's more the early-mid 90s that things began to slow down to where it was more common to have 2-3 debuts per week, rather than around 5 or so as it seemed there were during the 70s and 80s. Perhaps that all correlates with the switch to Soundscan in some way? Or maybe just a general change in radio...

Interesting that there were twelve 8/9-debut weeks in a 12-year period (with the last four coming over a 53-week stretch), then a ten year gap before it would happen again. Chart dynamics are unpredictable if nothing else...

Also: Shadoe Stevens mentioned on the 6-29-1991 8 debut AT40 week that back in 1967 (3 years before the birth of AT40) there was a week with 11 top 40 debuts!

And when Shadoe Stevens AT40 switched chart formats twice: * On the first AT40 Top 40 Radio Monitor format show on November 30, 1991: There were 5 debuts and I think 7 re-entries. * On the first AT40 Top 40 Mainstream chart format show on January 9, 1993: There were I think 7 debuts plus 1 or 2 re-entries.
And when Ryan Seacrest took Casey Kasem's AT40 place in January 2004, there was only 1 new song debut plus several recurrent re-entries!
