Another unique chart result coming from 1992, and this happens twice during the year! Linear's "T.L.C." shared countdown space with...TLC, whose "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" overlapped with their entire run (5/16-7/4). On 6/13, TLC's "Baby Baby Baby" also joined the fray. Worth also noting: "T.L.C." and TLC (Baby Baby Baby) would be back to back on CT40 on July 4 - but there's a commercial break inbetween the two.  The second time happens for just one week: Restless Heart would land in the countdown on 12/5 with "When She Cries", just in time to share space with Peter Cetera's "Restless Heart", which would be in its final week, as it would go recurrent off the Radio Monitor on 12/12. (Their original rule was 20 weeks/#20 until mid-1993.) This one's also exclusive to AT40, as Cetera had fallen off CT40 in mid-September. (Cetera's AT40 run is in itself a bizarre chart run, but that's another story.) Are there any other such instances like this out there, or are these two in the same year it? And before anyone says something like Queen and "Caribbean Queen"...if the title and artist aren't an exact match, it doesn't go here. (I realize that example doesn't work anyway, but it's the first thing I thought of to give an example of that type.) |

I found one from July 14, 1990. Poison debuted at #36 with "Unskinny Bop" while Bell Biv Devoe had a song called "Poison" still in the Top 40 at #10. Heart debuted at #40 with "I Didn't Want To Need You" while George Lamond had a song at #26 with "Bad Of The Heart". An almost but not quite with Madonna's "Vogue" and a group called En Vogue with "Hold On". A lot of duality with this chart in more ways than one.

From 12/15/1984 through 1/19/1985, Rick Springfield was in the top 40 with "Bruce", while The Boss was charting with "Born In The USA". Oh, the irony...leading into the last week for "Bruce" in the 40 (1/19/1985), Casey talks about and lists the two other occurrences regarding this very topic! In 1964, The Carefrees' "We Love You Beatles" made a brief one-week appearance, while the Fab Four had seven hits on that same chart. The second occurrence was in 1977: Ronnie McDowell's "The King Is Gone", while Elvis was in the 40 with "Way Down". What a cool find this was. Great topic, Mike! |

If we go to the near-present, last year Sam Feldt featuring RANI made AT40 with a song called "Post Malone", while Posty himself was on the chart with "Wow", "Goodbyes", and "Circles" (still on the countdown as I write this.)

On May 21, 1988, Poison's "Nothin' But a Good Time" debuted on AT40, and the next song after that was Pretty Poison's "Nighttime", but separated by a commercial break. Casey even mentioned before the commercial break "Up next... more Poison. Only prettier."
Also, regarding Poison, was there a week in 1989 where "Poison" by Alice Cooper shared a chart with any song by the band Poison?
Also, was there a song titled "Walks Like Rihanna" that made it to Ryan's AT40? And if it did, did it share a chart with any of Rihanna's songs?

I found one from July 14, 1990. Poison debuted at #36 with "Unskinny Bop" while Bell Biv Devoe had a song called "Poison" still in the Top 40 at #10. Yes! Heart debuted at #40 with "I Didn't Want To Need You" while George Lamond had a song at #26 with "Bad Of The Heart". No, for the same reason as: An almost but not quite with Madonna's "Vogue" and a group called En Vogue with "Hold On". Similarly, "Bruce" doesn't count for this, either. Though given "Bruce" 's subject, we'll give that one...an honorable mention.  On May 21, 1988, Poison's "Nothin' But a Good Time" debuted on AT40, and the next song after that was Pretty Poison's "Nighttime", but separated by a commercial break. Casey even mentioned before the commercial break "Up next... more Poison. Only prettier." Wouldn't count for a different reason - the commonality there is in the artist names, not song titles - but, a nice segue there. And Poison were between albums when Alice had his run with "Poison"; they'd have to make up for it with the Bell Biv Devoe instance cited above. I will re-state this clause: |

"Walks Like Rihanna" was recorded by the Wanted, but didn't make AT40. (The group did hit #1 there in 2012 with "Glad You Came").
And I think Rick Springfield's "Bruce" really should count as the song was written by Rick specifically about being mistaken for Bruce Springsteen due to the similar surname. Incidentally, it was written and originally recorded in 1978 when Springfield had only one top 40 hit to his credit, and that six years in the past ("Speak To the Sky".) By the time the song was remixed and re-released (without Rick's input or endorsement) Rick had amassed a string of 1980s hits that, while probably less artistically significant than Springsteen's oeuvre, made him enough of a star that such confusion was less likely.
And here's another one: in summer 1971 Graham Nash made AT40 with a song called "Chicago", while the band Chicago were on the chart with the double-sided hit "Beginnings/Colour My World". (In fact, both Chicagos debuted on the July 10, 1971 AT40.)

On the subject of Heart songs sharing space on AT40 with "Heart" songs: "Crazy on You" was in the 40 with "For the Heart" by Elvis Presley, a charted B-side "Barracuda" with "My Heart Belongs to Me" by Barbra Streisand "Straight On" with "Change of Heart" by Eric Carmen "Tell It Like It Is" with "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen "What About Love" with "State of the Heart" by Rick Springfield "What About Love" with "When Your Heart Is Weak" by Cock Robin "What About Love" with "Fortress Around Your Heart" by Sting "Never" with "Fortress Around Your Heart" by Sting "Never" with "Burning Heart" by Survivor "Never" with "Everything in My Heart" by Corey Hart "These Dreams" with "Burning Heart" by Survivor "These Dreams" with "Everything in My Heart" by Corey Hart "Nothin' at All" with "When the Heart Rules the Mind" by GTR "Alone" with "Heart and Soul" by T'Pau "Alone" with "Cross My Broken Heart" by the Jets "Who Will You Run To" with "Heart and Soul" by T'Pau "Who Will You Run To" with "Cross My Broken Heart" by the Jets "There's the Girl" with "Tell It to My Heart" by Taylor Dayne "There's the Girl" with "Be Still My Beating Heart" by Sting "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" with "Heart of Stone" by Cher "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" with "This Old Heart of Mine" by Rod Stewart with Ronald Isley "I Didn't Want to Need You" with "Heart of Stone" by Taylor Dayne Some more that come close to matching: "Heartless" with "It's a Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler "Even It Up" with "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar "Tell It Like It Is" with "Heartbreak Hotel" by the Jacksons "Tell It Like It Is" with "Hearts on Fire" by Randy Meisner "Alone" with "Heartbreak Beat" by the Psychedelic Furs "Alone" with "Hearts on Fire" by Bryan Adams "Alone" with "One Heartbeat" by Smokey Robinson |

I have another one that fits the criteria-July 10, 1971. Graham Nash's "Chicago" debuted at #39 while the group Chicago debuted at #37 with "Beginnings"/"Colour My World".

Also, regarding Poison, was there a week in 1989 where "Poison" by Alice Cooper shared a chart with any song by the band Poison? Nope - that song charted during Poison's mini-chart hiatus - their last song was their cover of "Your Mama Don't Dance" from the spring of that year and their next Top 40 hit would not be until the following summer. |

Another example that isn't perfect, but oh-so-close: In the four week period from August 8, 1965 to September 4, 1965, the Rolling Stones were spending their last four weeks in the Top 40 with their iconic "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Those were also the first four weeks in the Top 40 for Bob Dylan's biggest hit "Like A Rolling Stone".

On next week's 8-15-70 show, Edwin Starr had a song called "War" at #4, but only half credit goes to Eric Burdon & War with "Spill The Wine" at #3.

This week's AT40 has what almost qualifies as a new example of this but for one letter, with 88Rising & Bibi debuting with a song called "The Weekend". Meanwhile, The Weeknd has two hits as a featured artist ("You Right", with Doja Cat, and "One Right Now" with Post Malone), and soon will be entering on his own with "Sacrifice".
