Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks' "I Can't Wait" was the 13th Top-40 solo hit by a member of Fleetwood Mac. That was a milestone, because Fleetwood Mac has had 13 Top-40 hits as a group.
Olivia Newton-John
Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" and Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" both ahd 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, putting them in a tie for the longest run at No. 1 by a female artist in the rock era. The frisky "Physical" and the chaste Boone hit make strange bedfellows, but that's rock 'n' roll.
New Edition
New Edition's "Earth Angel" was a bit hit in 1986, even though the members of the group weren't even born when it was first a hit in 1954. But maybe that's not such a big deal--it happens with classical performers all the time.
