Hot thing charted on it's on because , For some reason WB couldn't make up it's mind whether to make Hot thing Or I can never take the place,,,, the b-side. They actually released both. The one with Hot thing being the B-side sold more so they stopped production of the other.

I actually have the 12" where Hot Thing was the release and I could never take the place is on the B-Side. It's not a bootleg either, just a rare official release.

They Did the same thing with Housequake but actually made a decision before release time of U got Look.

Apparently there's an official Promo of Housequake as a single with Shockadelica as the b-side.

actually in Joel Whitburn's Billboard book he has Betcha By Golly Wow listed at #31 as its peak
and Holy River peaked at #58... both say airplay hits only but i have seen the actually hot 100 at the time of both of them and they were in the main hot 100 chart in the positions i stated



additionally let me add

Uptown #101
Damn U #108
Peach #107
Musicology #124
