867-5309 Tommy Tutone. Is that one them?
At 17 - Janis Ian.
Does 1999 by Prince meet the requirements?
I'm just spitballin' here.
Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks.
Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan.
My brain needs a rest. Or a beer. Or both. LOL.

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
Three down, one to go. Damn, you guys are good:
# 3 (1975)
#10 (1981)
#4 (1982)
"1999" peaked at #12
Stevie's "Edge of Seventeen" peaked at #11 .
Nena's "99" was a #2 song but 99 isn't a prime number.

For those thinking, the Four Seasons' 1976 #1 song, "December , 1963(Oh, What a Night)," don't go there. The mathematician in me tells me 1963 is NOT prime.. 13 x 151 = 1963.
Keep thinking...

Dang, I was just ready to post this. I was a huge Loggins and Messina fan back in my OSU days. I saw them play at Mershon Auditorium around 1973-74. We did some good mushrooms.Originally Posted by texasdave

Don't tell me it is the Stray Cat Struts. She's sexy and 17.

That's not the one I had in mind, but yes, it made it to #5.

Here was the one I had for my fourth prime number top 10. Always loved this groove. Reached #5 in 1977.

"409" got to #76 right around the time I was born in '62.

I thought of four top 10 prime songs in the seventies and eighties, and tdave added one more. That's five. Are there any more? I don't think so, but ...

Editorial note: Donald Fa gan. Damn, he scores really high on the creep meter. Not only is he a well known ass, he is a creepy one, as well. Remember the story we talked about with "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," which told of the true account of Donald hitting on his college professor's pregnant wife at a Halloween party, while he was in college. If you listen closely to "Hey Nineteen," it's even creepier. It's about a middle-aged man seducing a 19 year-old and becoming frustrated at the generational divide and her lack of experience, and not even knowing who Aretha Franklin is. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that Donald named his band after a fictional big rubber dick . I'm a Steely Dan fan from way back, but Fa gan has always given me the creeps.

Not 70s or 80s, but there are three songs that all feature the same two-digit prime number in the title that came out in the 90s, to varying degrees of success. Can you name them?
“There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better.”
- Tom Robbins
The 90's? The music died for me, not in '59 with the passing of Holly , but in 1989, with passing of the 80's. lol
From 1990 until the present , my radio has been tuned to the oldies stations only.
17 has been a popular number for a song. Nostalgic, emotive, end of childhood, youthful energy, etc... The Stray Cats 17 song was in the 80's. The Eurythmics had a 17 song but that was probably 80's , as well. Winger had a song "Seventeen" but I think that was late eighties. I'm gold from the sixties thru the eighties but when it gets past the 80's , I become the Pinball Wizard--- a deaf, dumb and blind man. lol
