There may be something to this as well. Because at the height of his popularity (I'd say immediately post "We Didn't Start the Fire" until "River of Dreams), he was the type of radio artist that crossed over to nearly all formats. In the NYC radio area, his songs would get played on the classic rock stations, top 40 stations, and adult contemporary stations. You pretty much heard it every minute of the day.
