Planet Mars Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 In the 1960's The Beatles and The Supremes scored 20 and 12 #1 hits respectively, making them the #1 and #2 artists of the decade in the US. In 1969, The Supremes, now called Diana Ross & the Supremes, scored the final #1 hit of the 1960's with "Someday We'll Be Together". The next month in January of 1970, Diana officially left the group. That September she'd score her first solo #1 hit with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". In 1970, The Beatles scored their 2 final #1 hits, Let It Be and The Long & Winding Road, and at the end of the year George Harrison became the first Beatle to go #1 as a solo with "My Sweet Lord".

Cher is a groundbreaking icon that had massive hits during the 60s, 70s, 80s and the 90s. She also had a ton of acclaim as an actress, won an Oscar. Is considered a legend by pretty much everyone. Grace Jones is only known for her fashion and thats about it. How can you even put them in the same sentance is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet Mars Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Thriller was the #1 album of both 1983 AND 1984 in the United States, which is crazy because in 1984 Prince put out Purple Rain, Lionel Richie put out Can't Slow Down and Bruce Springsteen put out Born in the USA, all 3 of which are diamond selling albums.

Bob Dylan never scored a Hot 100 #1 hit. Made it to #2 once however. Creedence Clearwater Revival never scored a #1 hit, but have 5 #2 hits on the Hot 100, all scored between 1969-1970. En Vogue never scored a #1 hit, their Trinity of hits (Hold On, My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) and Don't Let Go (Love)) all peaked at #2 on the Hot 100. Aretha Franklin scored 2 #1 hits, Respect in 1967 and I Knew You We're Waiting For Me, a collaboration with George Michael, 29 years later in 1987. Madonna has 6 #2 hits, more than any other artist in Billboard History. Of their 5 #1 hits, only 2 of them by Boyz II Men didn't sit at #1 for more than 12 weeks. Patsy Cline's I Fall to Pieces peaked at #12 on the Hot 100, but was the #2 song of 1961 on the YE Chart. Camila has more #1s than Bob Dylan?

Planet Mars Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Before Madonna, Diana Ross was the most successful American woman on the music charts in both the US and Europe. She'd scored more hits in the UK than any woman artist, and in 1993 made Guinness for being the most successful woman in music. Her final Top 10 single in the UK was in 2005, and her first with The Supremes was 1964's Baby Love, which was the first Motown single to make #1 in the UK.

Yup, since 2001 there has been no other song by a girl group to achieve this. Wait are you serious I didn’t realize that. Survivor was that album! ??????

zoldyck Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 There was a thread like this on ATRL few years, where someone posted Britney doesn't have #1 album in UK. I was really shocked by it, so I looked into her other country peaks, I was very surprised to see: She doesn't have #1 in NZ either Only one #1 in Aus, Italy and maybe some other countries.

I think the most shocking chart fact is that the Legend Cher's biggest album in the US only went 4x platinum and not even 4M in pure sales. For all that longevity and hits that we all know I just find it shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocelli Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Im sorry but Chers success is completely blown out of proportion. She has only a dozen Top 10 hits and her biggest album is only 4x platinum, yet people on here act like she is THAT b*tch. Even Nicki has more Top10s than her Edited June 17, 2022 by bocelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
