How Many Groups Have Had Top 5 Hits with 2 Different Singers

[Slander]

Bulldog got me thinking. How many groups out their have had top 5 singles with 2 different singles. Or for that matter number 1 hits with two different singers? Survivor had a number 1 with Dave and a number 2 with Jimi. What a testament to the work of FS and JP. I think Chicago had two number one's with different singers. Can anyone think of other groups? Just curious.

Good point!

Eye Of The Tiger #1 Dave
Burning Heart #2 Jimi
The search Is Over #4 Jimi
High On You #8 Jimi
I Can't Hold Back #13 Jimi
American Heartbeat #17 Dave
Poor Man's Son # 33 Dave

So they reached the top 40 7 different times with 2 different singers.


I would think that maybe Van Halen have done what you asked about with both DLR and Sammy Hagar?

The Bettles have done it with both John and Paul, but they were in the band together not at different time periods like Dave and Jimi or DLR and Hagar.

Don't forget Survivor hit the top 20 with American Heartbeat! Often overlooked. VH hit the top five I think with Jump and Why Can't This Be Love. Chicago hit number 1 with Look Away and Hard Habit to Break. Both had different singers. That put's Survivor in incredible company. What about Bad Company? Did they hit the top 5 with Rogers and then Howe?

Actually, I did mention American Heartbeat.

I would say probably on Bad Company? All of the big hits with Paul Rodgers, and then a couple of songs like "No Smoke Without A Fire" and "Holy Water."

Sure, but you didn't mention that Jimi didn't sing that and Survivor was more than just Jamo.
Sorry facts are facts, though

I feel stupid for not naming those bands since their some of my favorites, and since I'm listing to TOTO as we speak.

You are right Joe. Africa did hit number 1. One more group hit the charts with 2 different singers. I hate to say it. The group ANIMOTION. And there is a Toto connection. Animotion hit the charts with Obssession and Room to Move sang by the beautiful Cynthia Rhodes (Staying Alive, Richard Marx Wife) who also was featured in the Rosanna video.

ANIMOTION? That was 100% POP, right? What is with Genesis?

[IngoK]

And if we count Album charts, possibly AC/DC?

Of course Animotioni is straight POP. I just thought it was a fun reference because of their relation to Toto. Hey I love Cynthia Rhodes what can I say. She's gorgeous and all class. In any event, you are right AC/DC on the album charts. What about the Eagles with Henley and Fry and Timothy B. Schmidt?

[Slander]

Maybe we should narrow this question down. How about groups with top 5 singles by singers where the second singer was brought in and not part of the group to start with. Survivor fits that bill. AC/DC never had top 5 but they hit the album charts with Brian Johnson. Anyone else come to mind? Once again, singers who replaced original lead singers.

[Red13JoePa]

Animotion hit the charts with Obssession and Room to Move

Holy shit, I REMEMBER Room To Move.

I also remember guiltily enjoying it as a 7th grade youth.

Did I type that out loud?


Frankie Sullivan was right. From '81-'89 radio was just the greatest thing ever.

I remember falling in love with Cynthia Rhodes from Animotion. She was Travolta's love interest in Staying Alive. She would later marry Richard Marx. Yeah radio was great back then. Very diverse. You could hear anything. Think about how ecledic the times were. Now it's all r and b and some rock. Thank god for Daughtry and Nickleback. Although Rhiana is pretty hot and that song Umbrella is damn catchy.

toto in usa had Africa @ #1 Paich on verse Kimball on Chorus's there's 2 singer for you right there!

I'll Be Over You was # 11 in 1986 , AC # 1 !! &

Without Your Love was #38 in oct. 1986 and was AC #7 both of those with luke ...so, there's 3!!

I won't Hold You back was B.B # 10 and AC #1 !!! Luke on lead vocals W/ Tim Schmidt on vocals ...

I had heard Anna was a AC hit but I didn't see it on Billboard.com so i left it out..

all in all you had Kimball, Paich, Lukather, Williams all singing on hits or well charted singles and they had guest singers 2 on some of them

This band should've been bigger...but decent chart success none the less

(all B.B. figures USA)
