I know Prince was on AT40 at the beginning of the 1980's with "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and at the end of the 1980's with "The Arms Of Orion" (his duet with Sheena Easton). I really don't want to count Don Henley (Eagles) or Lou Gramm (Foreigner) because their solo discographies are separate from their group discographies (according to the Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn). I do count Tom Petty because his solo hits are combined with his hits with the Heartbreakers under one discography (again according to the Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits). By the way, Sheena Easton did get label credit on "The Arms Of Orion", but did not get label credit on Prince's 1987 hit, "U Got The Look".
