"Die Another Day" #4
"4 Minutes" #5
"You'll See" #7

Where did "Ray of Light" peak? I feel like that's all I heard on the radio as a child.

"Ray Of Light" peaked at #5 on the Hot 100, not sure about Mainstream Top 40. And also, if Pop radio really hated Madonna, she wouldn't have strung together a record setting 16 or 17 Top 5 songs in a row on the Hot 100 between 1984-9.

I remember the absolutely massive staying power of Real McCoy's "Another Night" in 1994-5. That song had an incredible run on the Mainstream Top 40 Chart. Billboard ranked it #2 of all time. I think the Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" from 1998-9 ranked at #1, though I think "Another Night" had the stronger chart life and should've finished on top.

It's funny how "Another Night" was so massive and now it sounds so incredibly dated, especially when you compare it with other crossover dance singles of this period (i.e. Crystal Waters's "100% Pure Love" or Amber's "Sexual").

Iris was a much better song. It still sounds nice to this day.

Iris is just kind of depressing, but the movie it came from, "City Of Angels," were as well.

Yeah but they're talking about Pop radio in the mid to late 90's to now.

Hence on why I used

I was talking about her lack of #1s on radio comparing them to her BBH100 #1s.

I remember Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want" has so far been the only non #1 weekly peaking song to finish the year at #1 on the year end Mainstream Top 40 Chart. That happened in 2000. I consider that song a timeless classic.

An interesting coincidence: Faith Hill's "Breathe", which peaked at #2 for 5 non consecutive weeks, wound up as the #1 song of the year on HRS and the Hot 100 in 2000.

So both year end charts were topped by songs that peaked at #2. "Everything You Want" did spend one week at #1 on the Hot 100 though, and finished fifth for 2000.

Yeah "Breathe" was huge! Surprising it didn't hit #1. "Everything You Want" is such a classic.

Back in the 1980s, radio formats weren't anywhere near as fragmented as they are today. You had Pop, Rock, Country, AC, R&B, and at the clubs Dance. So while Mediabase has 21 or 22 different formats it compiles charts for today, there were only six through early 1988, because that's all that was needed.

I know this sounds strange to those who grew up in the latter 90s, 00s, and early 10s, but Top 40 played a bigger variety of songs in the 80s prior to the massive fragmentation that took place the following decade.

I was born in 1974, so I remember radio differently than younger people do today. This is despite the fact I greatly prefer current Active Rock, Alternative Rock, and Country, unlike many of my friends around my age who quit listening to new music 20 years ago.

This is why radio USED to be everything back in the day. I won't ever listen to radio today.
