Some surprises here. I wonder if there's a correlation with how many big hits an artist had. Take Rick Springfield. He had 16 (!) top 40 songs, but I can only name one. (And I saw him in concert back in the mid-80's.) The rest just aren't very memorable. But then there's Carole King, who had multiple huge hits. So maybe that's not it.

Another surprise is that Huey Lewis and the News is there tied with Billy Ocean and Culture Club for their popularity score. Nothing against those artists, but come on. How are people forgetting Huey? "The Power of Love" is one of the best songs of the entire decade.

I had Springfield first 3 albums when I was a kid. I loved them (still do). To me, he had about 40 hits! Lol
