5.3 – 30 years ago.
In 1983, Duran Duran had 2 songs on the BillBoard Top 100 Songs of 1983 - Hungry Like the Wolf and Is There Something I Should Know?
A number of other recording artists also had 2 or more songs on the Top 100, including Michael Jackson, Men At Work, Hall & Oates, Laura Branigan, Culture Club, Prince, Billy Joel, and David Bowie.

In honor of doubles, both in music and in the “June, July” sequence of the summer months, read a book that has consecutive words beginning with the same letter in its title, or that has an author whose first and last names begin with the same initial. Hyphenated words and names count as one word. Middle names/initials should be ignored in the author name option.
Examples: S.M. Stirlingworks, since middle names/initials are to be ignored. Janice Woods Windle does not work, since it's the middle and last names that have the same initial letter.

Wanda (wanda71) | 1770 comments The Shadows of Christmas Past (Christmas Series, #3) by Christine Feehan

It contains two novellas which are each more than one hundred pages. The second author is Susan Sizemore. Would this book fulfill the author requirement for this task?

sure, if you read the whole book, it has two separate authors, so you're good to go!

Sandra (sandra72) | 714 comments Would Fodor's Guide to The Da Vinci Code: On the Trail of the Bestselling Novel work? Both 'to' and 'the' start with T in the title.
