Does anybody know what month was used in the most top 40 hit titles from 1955 through January 1995 (that includes the Billboard Hot 100 and the chart Shadoe used from late 1991 to the end of AT40's original run)? I remember Shadoe answering a listener question on one of his episodes in the 1990s.
I read a comment on another forum suggesting that July was used in the most songs that have a month in the title (top 40 or not), but in terms of top 40 hits prior to the mid-1990s, I feel as if April may apply.

Did NOT do a laborious 'dig' through my Whitburn book, but just off the top of my head I'm thinking September. See You In September, September Morn, and of course the eponymous EW&F song spring quickly to mind. |

Shadoe listed top 40 songs with months in their titles on the August 22, 1992 show, in the intro to "November Rain". The month with the most titles was indeed September. There were 2 called "See You in September", "It Might as Well Rain Until September", "September Morn", "September in the Rain", and "September". No artists were mentioned, just the titles. |

There's also the pre-1955 oldie and standard "September Song" that's been covered by many artists, but since 1992, December now has more than just these two...
