  1. An interesting occurrence this week, in that there were two new entries at peak position further down the charts for two ladies who originally dueted on a 1979 single called No More Tears.

    20 years later to the month, they each charted separately here in October 1999, with BARBARA STREISAND new at No.26 dueting with Vince Gill with a song called If You Ever Leave Me, and DONNA SUMMER with a new entry at No.44 with I will Go With You (Con Te Partiro). Strange coincidence that!
