Quote by eddieinnj:
As a matter of fact, yes, it does:
Heart like a wheel always made me Feel anyway I wanna be Linda, you're a winner Oh, girl, you're looking thinner Than you used to be
A sidenote on "That'll Be The Day"--it was also on Billboard's C&W chart that week, at #71 (it would peak at #27 there).

Um...you forgot one other thing: "It's So Easy", in its second week in the Top 40, moves up five spots from #34 (its debut placing) to #29--marking the first time in chart history that a female singer had two singles on the Top 40 going the same way: up.

um lol I just caught the one on the broadcast. I figured it's so easy must have been on the top 40 because by Christmas both would be in the top 5. Do you listen to the whole show and that the way you format post or do you get a copy of it from a site for the week. I would like to be able to look in case I don't hear the show that week. I usually catch it yard saleing Saturday mornings. eddiejinnj

Casey Kasem's American Top 40: The 80s
The Top 100 from 1980 (Part 1: #100-#51):
"Hurt So Bad" @ #77 (reached #8 for three weeks [May 24 & 31, June 7) "How Do I Make You?" @ #72 (reached #10 for three weeks [March 22 & 29, April 5])
...and if you count the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "An American Dream", which had Linda on harmony vocals and was #91 for the year, you can make it a triple play.

This morning on KOLA 99.9 FM San Bernardino:
Casey Kasem's American Top 40: The 70s
Week ending February 28, 1976
Linda's version of "The Tracks Of My Tears" peaks at #25.
Along with:
DREAMWEAVER--Gary Wright LOVE MACHINE (PART 1)--The Miracles TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT--The Eagles TANGERINE--Salsoul Orchestra BABY FACE--Wing & A Prayer Fife and Drum Corps LONELY NIGHT (ANGEL FACE)--Captain and Tenille GROW SOME FUNK OF YOUR OWN--Elton John THEME FROM "S.W.A.T."--Rhythm Heritage THE WHITE KNIGHT--Cletus Maggard JUNK FOOD JUNKIE--Larry Groce
For the fourth straight time, Linda has a hit at the same time as her favorite in-house desperados; and for the second time, her hit is on the same chart as a hit by the group that had the original hit version of it (though, to be fair, Smokey Robinson was singing lead with the Miracles in 1965; on "Love Machine", it's his replacement Billy Griffin).
