>>>>>> >>>I understand the differences betwen the two charts. >I >>>just wanted to see some of the discrepencies that >came >>>up between the two. Speaking of 1990, I read an >>>interview with Tommy Page that said that it literally >>>came down to one or two radio stations deciding that >>>he and not Jane Child would have the number one spot >>>back in the spring of '90. Is that true? If it is, >>>then explain how "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" could >>>spend two weeks at number one on an airplay chart (CT >>>40)and not go number one on AT40? If "I'll Be Your >>>Everything" was more of an airplay hit then "Love", >>>why did "Everything" stall at 2 the week that Child >>>was at 1 on RR? >> >>Was that interview in Billboard's Book Of Number One >>Hits? I read that one, too. I believe Tommy's >>producer was keeping tabs on the stats between him and >>Jane Child and >>said that it looked like Jane Child would be number >>one, but when the paper came out, Tommy was number one >>and when Tommy found that out, the relief was so >>great, he fell to the floor and couldn't speak. It >>would have been interesting to see Jane Child be >>number one on Billboard, though, seeing that she was >>number six the week before. It had been a great while >>since the last jump to number one from outside the Top >>Five (a feat that would happen a little over a year >>later). It looked like Jane Child would be number one >>the next week, but Sinead O'Connor's snoozer "Nothing >>Compares 2 U" surprised everyone and took over the >>week Jane Child had a second week atop the R&R chart. > >I truly felt that Jane Child got jipped on the >Billboard chart. It was the first time I ever >questioned the Billboard charts, and to this day I >still feel that it was the most popular song for at >least that first week. Yeah, it would have been cool >to see that jump from six to one. > >Speaking of that week, Lisa Stansfield was number 3 >with, "All Around the World", which hit 1 on the r&B >chart. Was she the first Englishperson (except Paul >McCartney when he teamed up with MJ on "The Girl Is >Mine") to hit 1 on the R&B chart? I know Sade did it, >but she was originally from Nigeria, right?
