  1. Including pre-October 19992 entries on Radio & Records' CHR/Pop chart, "Girl Gone Wild" is Madonna's 55th top 40 hit at the pop format.

  2. Thanks for that bit of info! Do you happen to have the stats for the pre 1992 songs?

  3. Sure. :) I also included Radio & Records peaks for 1992-on tracks, to compare them to the Billboard peaks.

    Peaks are for Radio & Records' CHR/Pop through 2006; if the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 peak from 1992-2006 differed, I list it in parentheses. Peaks for 2006-on are from Billboard's chart.

    Weeks on the chart reflect time in the top 40, up through 1993; for 1993-2006 tracks, it's time in the top 50. For 2008-present, it's, again, time in the top 40.
