CHR Flashback - February 4, 1994 chart

[Hervard]

Now, we hop into the wayback machine, turn the time circuits on, get the flux capacitor working, and zoom back to the year that Michael Bolton Said I Loved You ... But I Lied.  Bryan Adams was remorseful and asked Please Forgive Me, because it's All For Love, to which Sting and Rod Stewart backed him up.  Richard Marx promised that Now And Forever, he would be your man and Celine Dion learned about The Power Of Love.  It was 1994, and this is the chart for the week of February 4, 1994:

How did ACO and MMMP spend a 27th week on each - or is 27 weeks including the 97-98 two-week break?

I know what #34 is, but it wouldn't be fair since I have the AT40 archive.

[Hervard]

Mike, the 27 weeks does indeed count the two-week break. Even though R&R didn't count it, I did. Thus, the two songs you mentioned would both spend an additional week on the chart before being shipped off to recurrentland.

[mst3k]

I'm not gonna guess the Mystery Song either, because I have that CT40 show on CD (it was the week after Casey's last show, before he resurrected AT40 at the end of March).

[Hervard]

Well, if nobody guesses correctly by this time tomorrow, you can go ahead and post the answer.

[johnnywest]

XX 35 01 Cannonball/The Breeders

Ryan Seacrest mentioned a few months ago that the last pair of twin sisters to hit the Top 40 (prior to Nina Sky) were 2 sisters in The Breeders.

I'll post a hint for now: It's not a hot Bryan Adams remake. In fact, it has a very unfamiliar taste to it.

I know what it is! "Heaven" by Nu Flavor. Thanks for the hint! :)

[Hervard]

That's right. That was a really cool song. Had sort of a hypnotic effect to it.

"Without You" is the biggest mover of the year at that point.

[Hervard]

I've been so busy that the CHR Flashback feature keeps slipping my mind.  I'll work on March a little later on but first, I figured I might as well finish off February.
This Flashback, we take the trip back to the year that there was a New Kid In Town, who was willing to hold her, with tears were his shoulder, because Here Come Those Tears Again.  Probably because he was Torn Between Two Lovers - a Rich Girl and a Dancing Queen.  Plus, he was Living Next Door To Alice.  My advice would be to Go Your Own Way, even though they'll beg Don't Give Up On Us and Don't Leave Me This Way.  Just Fly Like An Eagle!  Yes indeed, the year was 1977, and here is the chart from February 25, 1977:

XX 29 01 The First Cut Is The Deepest/Sheryl Crow

I think Rod Stewart's version of TFCITD was the one that charted in '77. ;)

[Hervard]

Sorry, I'm in such a habit of writing Sheryl Crow after that title. In fact, I told myself to remember to write "Rod Stewart", but even then, force of habit got the better of me.

Anyone care to try for the mystery song?

Hint: It's by an artist who is no longer with us :'(

[craig]

crackerbox palace is that the mystery song

[Hervard]

That's right, "Crackerbox Palace" by George Harrison is the song in question.

That song was on a tape on which I recorded songs from the radio at the beginning of my freshman year in college. The songs include "When I Fall In Love" by Natalie Cole, "Dancing Queen" by Abba, "The Sad Cafe" by the Eagles, "Crackerbox Palace", and "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp (which ended up being taped over by "Beauty and the Beast" by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson, before I knew how grossly overplayed that song would be). I listened to that tape all the time in college and when I found out that I didn't have enough money to go back to college, I couldn't listen to that tape for the longest time, because it reminded me of all the good times.

Anyway, that was why I picked "Crackerbox Palace" as the mystery song, since it's a rather obscure song at this point.
