some good stuff here, but I would have included Eddy Grant's “Electrice Avenue” which spent a whopping 5 weeks at the runner-up spot. Lost out to that annoying, off-tempo stalker song “Every Breath You Take” Darn you Sting!

Mickey and Gloria were produced by the same producer. Also, the arranger of the Italian version of Gloria was the producer of the US Version. I think that there are less than 20 people that have a #1 and #2 in the same week.

I just asked Arthur to contribute to my upcoming piece on “Sun City.” Fingers crossed…

Wasn't “Start Me Up” used in the Windows 95 ad campaign? I just remember seeing those ads everywhere. Hazy Shade of Winter by the Bangles is one of my favorite cover songs.

Not just any remix, my friend — I believe Arthur Baker was at the controls for Broooooce's foray into the genre. Does anyone know what Arthur Baker's up to these days?

Donny Osmond was kept from #1 by Michael Damian? What is that, some kind of pretty boy Karma payback?

The Bangles can't whine about “Hazy Shade of Winter” (or “Manic Monday”) if “Walk Like an Egyptian” held two other songs from #1.
