Hot 100 feat

[CountEmUp]

I can't imagine this happened too many times. I found this thumbing through Joel Whitburn's wonderful compilation of 1980s Hot 100 charts.

On 1/18/86, there were 10 new entries on the Hot 100. All 10 made the top 40 - not a single one missed. I can see a handful of debuts managing this feat, but 10 for 10 seems pretty improbable.

King For A Day/Thompson Twins
These Dreams/Heart
Russians/Sting
Stages/ZZ Top
Nikita/Elton John
Another Night/Aretha Franklin
How To Be A Millionaire/ABC
Night Moves/Marilyn Martin
This Could Be The Night/Loverboy
What You Need/INXS

Not only did they all make the top 40, but they even all made the top 30.

Indeed a very unusual chart observation. I'd be interested in seeing if anyone else identifies a similar Hot 100.

This raised a couple of follow-up questions:
1. What Hot 100 weekly list had the fewest number of debut records?
2. What Hot 100 weekly list had the most number of debut records?

I believe I know the answer to the first question and possibly the second too. But perhaps someone else can offer an answer.

I believe but don't know when i think there was a hot 100 or 2 where nothing but reentries debuted . i also believe the week with Who let the Dogs Out . that might have been the only debut. as for the most ether depending on what qualifies as a debut would the first chart or the chart with change to include album tacks at the end of 1998. that's if there appearance on the radio monitor chart does not count.
