ok, so uk group eternal achieved an impressive (i'll get to why i think that in a sec) top 20 single in the u.s. with 'stay'. it debuts on the hot 100 chart on 1/15/1994 @ #87-60-45-33-27-26-26-23-19*-20-22-20-25-33-42-49-59 and so on. for the wk of 3/12/1994 it peaks @ #19 and here's the hot 100 chart for that wk: https://www.billboard.c*m/charts/hot-100/1994-03-12
so for the top 10 of this wk, the top 10 is chock full of huge acts that are just gonna be top 10 mainstays. ace of base, mariah, r. kelly, toni braxton, all for 1 were all huge radio acts. BUT, eternal stays in the top 40 for a whopping 11 wks! that's almost 3 mos. remaining in the top 40, esp. the top 30. but unfortunately artists like mariah and celine dion won't leave the top 10 for many months with different singles. but they do a great job climbing up the hot 100 chart and i remember enjoying this single on the radio back then.
i don't think i was following the hot 100 too much during this time, but i do remember 'stay' on the radio back then. see, the hot 100 chart during this time was predominantly radio airplay...the more 'spins' a single got on the radio, the higher the chart position. but great overall effort for eternal...just too hard to compete with huge u.s. radio acts like celine dion *canadian* and mariah carey. and lemme know if anyone has any other requests to see how other uk acts did over here. :))))))

well i couldn't resist doing another hot 100 chart throwback for another uk act, eternal, but just wanted to say some of my fave u.s. acts and songs never hit the hot 100 top 10 themselves. you don't have to have a top 10 hit to be great in my book ;). i want eternal to know that, i don't think anyone's a failure and sometimes i think the uk acts are better than some of the u.s. ones ;). ok, i'll have my chart throwback up in another post ;)
Sunshine Gal
hey what's up mates! how's everyone in the uk doing! i'll have another hot 100 chart uk throwback in a sec :))))))

So happy to see DOJA CAT, BECKY HILL , YEARS AND YEARS and BONEY M climbing the chart!!

I really want to see a new song at #1 now, but unfortunately, it looks like ‘Montero [Call Me By Your Name]’ has a stable enough lead to get most of next month at the top of the charts too.
It’s still decent, but yeah, the overexposure is getting to me now, as expected for this! :(

Billie Eilish might be a good contender next week with her new single
Alfred Lock
You said it..a relief for me as I don't have to hear it on Radio 2..Now Majestic and Money M with Rasputin?? That takes me back to Junior school days in 1978!(Yes I go back years with my chart memories)
Sunshine Gal
hey mate, is this the correct article for the uk singles chart for this current wk?
Sunshine Gal
sounds like me right there :D but not that far back.
Piran
Oh, this is the singles chart article, but I just linked the Top 100 chart to you in another reply. :)
Piran
I really hope that 'Rasputin' will enter the Top 20 later this month! :D
Sunshine Gal
Whoops! I got a lot of errands to run on my next day off on Thursday I got to take my car in for an alignment check and oil check so I’ll see if I can put my throwback on the current UK singles chart if not I’ll come up with another throwback later for a feature article
Piran
I've been so busy at work this week! I've been doing overtime most days, so I might not be on here as much for a while outside of my usual Monday & Friday nights. :/
