Notes

*The Mainstream Rock Tracks chart was not created until 1981 and the Top 40 Mainstream chart was not created until the 1990s. Thus, both charts only include material after their creation. *"Crazy" was released as a double A-side with "Blind Man" in the United Kingdom, so the chart position of #23 is given for both.
