April 25, 201510 yr As did Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" Madonna's "Crazy For You" also had an 11 week run with 6 weeks in 1985 and 5 weeks in 1991. "My Heart Will Go On" was number one for 10 non-consecutive weeks also True. I missed those.
April 25, 201510 yr Author I did notice that really up until the late 1990's there were only a few big hit singles by female artists a year, hence the longer runners of the 80's/early 90's. There were weeks in the early 80's where I was having to scroll into the #41-75 zone to find the number one for that week. However, since around 1997, I noticed there were at least two or three singles by female solo artists in the Top 40 weekly.
April 25, 201510 yr Author How long did it take? About two weeks from when I first had the idea. It would've taken longer had I not realized that I didn't need to look at every single chart when there were singles by female artists at number ones (i.e. when Whitney was number one for ten weeks, I didn't need to look at those ten charts, because I knew what would have been number one on this chart)
April 25, 201510 yr I have the interest in the same list for 60s and 70s, based on very low popularity of female singers in both decades.
April 25, 201510 yr Would be interesting to see this sort of thing done for genres, ie a dance #1 of each week etc.
April 25, 201510 yr Trouble with doing it by genres is that no-one can precisely define a "dance" record, whereas defining solo female artists is reasonably straightforward Anyway, extending it back 12 months... 6/1/79 - Chaka Khan "I'm Every Woman" (15) 13/1/79 - Olivia Newton-John "A Little More Love" (12) 20/1/79 - Olivia Newton-John "A Little More Love" (5) 27/1/79 - Olivia Newton-John "A Little More Love" (4) 3/2/79 - Olivia Newton-John "A Little More Love" (6) 10/2/79 - Olivia Newton-John "A Little More Love" (10) 17/2/79 - Olivia Newton-John "A Little More Love" (16) 24/2/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (7) 3/3/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (4) 10/3/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (3) 17/3/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (1) 24/3/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (1) 31/3/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (1) 7/4/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (1) 14/4/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (5) 21/4/79 - Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" (9) 28/4/79 - Kate Bush "Wow" (14) 5/5/79 - Amii Stewart "Knock On Wood" (1) 12/5/79 - Amii Stewart "Knock On Wood" (9) 19/5/79 - Amii Stewart "Knock On Wood" (6) 26/5/79 - Amii Stewart "Knock On Wood" (11) 2/6/79 - Donna Summer "Hot Stuff" (11) 9/6/79 - Anita Ward "Ring My Bell" (3) 16/6/79 - Anita Ward "Ring My Bell" (1) 23/6/79 - Anita Ward "Ring My Bell" (1) 30/6/79 - Anita Ward "Ring My Bell" (2) 7/7/79 - Janet Kay "Silly Games" (3) 14/7/79 - Janet Kay "Silly Games" (2) 21/7/79 - Janet Kay "Silly Games" (2) 28/7/79 - Janet Kay "Silly Games" (3) 4/8/79 - Janet Kay "Silly Games" (6) 11/8/79 - Judie Tzuke - "Stay With Me Till Dawn" (18) 18/8/79 - Judie Tzuke - "Stay With Me Till Dawn" (16) 25/8/79 - Judie Tzuke - "Stay With Me Till Dawn" (20) 1/9/79 - Judie Tzuke - "Stay With Me Till Dawn" (27) 8/9/79 - Judie Tzuke - "Stay With Me Till Dawn" (43) 15/9/79 - Kate Bush - "Kate Bush On Stage EP" (35) 22/9/79 - Kate Bush - "Kate Bush On Stage EP" (27) 29/9/79 - Kate Bush - "Kate Bush On Stage EP" (23) 6/10/79 - Kate Bush - "Kate Bush On Stage EP" (11) 13/10/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (9) 20/10/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (5) 27/10/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (1) 3/11/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (1) 10/11/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (1) 17/11/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (2) 24/11/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (5) 1/12/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (16) 8/12/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (27) 15/12/79 - Lena Martell - "One Day At A Time" (32) 22/12/79 - Diana Ross - "It's My House" (34) 29/12/79 - Diana Ross - "It's My House" (34) (repeated chart) (position overall in chart in brackets)

April 25, 201510 yr Do Yazz & The Plastic Population count as a group? I saw that earlier and meant to ask that question!
April 26, 201510 yr I did something like this once, but my rule was any act with at least 50% female personnel, in order to in effect create a male chart and a female chart. Unfortunately I can't find my notes from back then, although they will be in a box in my room somewhere, but I'll have a go at extending this list anyways. 1978 07/01/1978 Donna Summer - Love's Unkind (4) 14/01/1978 Donna Summer - Love's Unkind (3) 21/01/1978 Donna Summer - Love's Unkind (3)* 28/01/1978 Donna Summer - Love's Unkind (3)* 04/02/1978 Donna Summer - Love's Unkind (6)* 11/02/1978 Donna Summer - Love's Unkind (9)* 18/02/1978 Samantha Sang - Emotions (20)* 25/02/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (13) 04/03/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (5) 11/03/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (1) 18/03/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (1) 25/03/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (1) 01/04/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (1) 08/04/1978 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (3) 15/04/1978 Suzi Quatro - If You Can't Give Me Love (4) 22/04/1978 Suzi Quatro - If You Can't Give Me Love (4) 29/04/1978 Suzi Quatro - If You Can't Give Me Love (4) 06/05/1978 Dee D.
