"Revelation" Officially Platinum - Kevin Shirley

[jrnyman28]

It's true that with so many formats and genres we have too many charts. But if I recall correctly, WYLAW was also a hit on the AC Charts not the CHR/TOP 40 chart. But it used to be that Top 40 was just that....the top 40 songs of any and all formats. Now Top 40 is it's own format. But a hit is a hit and it is recognition nonetheless.

That's what I was thinking, all the band's hits from Escape and Frontiers were in an overall top 40, going up against everybody.
