It's also interesting to note that Bella Donna didn't really earn #1 status. It got it as a favor, Pat Benatar actually sold more albums that week and Stevie should have been #2 but a deal was worked out to let Stevie get the #1 spot for one week. This story comes from the head of her record label, Danny Goldberg.

What????????????????????? When and where did he say that? And what did Pat B. gain from that? Do you know of any other similar 'deals'? I am shocked.
