Hi! On Nov.29,1980 AT40 show, Diana Ross had three song in the top 40. I'd like to know there are other instances that happen.
Someone said on this board, New Kids On The Block did it in 1989 with "Didn't I Blow Your Mind","Cover Girl","Hangin' Tough". On R&R, Madonna did it twice in 1985. One case with "Crazy for You", "Angel",and "Into the Groove". Another case with"Material Girl", "Crazy for You",and "Angel".
I searched other cases. Of course the Beatles had more than three in 1964. The Bee Gees had three hits from Saturday Night Fever soundtrack at the same time in 1978. Melanie did it in 1972.
On R&R, Whitney Houston did it in Feb. 1993 from the Bodyguard soundtrack. On Jun. 1995, dance act Real McCoy had "Another Night", "Run Away",and "Come and Get Your Love" simultaneously in the top 40. In Summer of 1999, Ricky Martin had three songs in the top 40 with "Livin' La Vida Loca", "La Copa De Vida" and "She's All I Ever Had".

Apparently the only instances of this that we'll hear on replayed AT40s for now are the Melanie, Bee Gees, and Diana Ross triples (Shadoe of course was AT40 host by the time of the NKOTB hits.)
Whitney Houston's three simultaneous hits were "I Will Always Love You", "I'm Every Woman", and "I Have Nothing", which were all on the Casey's Top 40s of 2/27 and 3/6/93; all topped the R&R chart. Ricky Martin had three hits on four straight AT40s (8/7-8/28/99).
Real McCoy had three hits on Casey's Top 40 for three weeks (6/10-6/24/95); it should be noted that at that point the R&R chart Casey used didn't have an evident recurrent rule, making it easier for songs to hang around for a very long time ("Another Night" was on CT40 for 43 weeks.) The same is true for the Mediabase chart used for Ryan Seacrest's AT40, where artists having three hits at once has become somewhat commonplace (in fact, Usher and the Black Eyed Peas have each had four at once).

Taylor Swift, according to WikiPedia, had SEVEN songs in the Top 40 during November 2009, but in this day and age, with records constantly being broken, someone else (even another American Idol winner) might just break her record! With a male dominated market, isn't it interesting how many females are breaking records of longevity, most Top 10s, etc.

Ricky Martin had three hits on four straight AT40s (8/7-8/28/99). Which is the only time "Ricky Martin" and "straight" will ever appear in the same sentence. ;D

I seem to remember that I heard that Herman's Hermits may have had three songs in the top 40 during their early chart success in America.

Elvis had 5 in 1957. Last year, Ariana Grande had 5 as a lead artist on AT40, which is pretty impressive.
But it actually happens all the time now with acts like Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Khalid, Halsey and Cardi B.

Agree -- you can't compare the pre-Soundscan era with the Soundscan era, and especially now that Billboard doesn't require a song to be released as a single to qualify for the Hot 100 like it used to. Plus the charts are compiled so differently with internet downloads and "listener impressions" (or whatever it's called) as opposed to just sales and airplay back then. It's so apples to oranges -- Ariana, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, etc. can be commended for what they've done in today's era of the charts, but it's impossible to reasonably compare their chart successes with that of Elvis, the Beatles, Diana Ross, Madonna, etc. Heck, if you look at this week's Hot 100, there's something called Roddy Ricch that is credited with three songs in the top 40...while I can identify several songs on this week's chart, I haven't even heard any of Roddy Ricch's stuff yet. Strangely enough, it's where radio airplay charts probably provide the best basis for comparison between then and now, but I'm not sure that true airplay-only charts really even exist anymore?

Pretty amazing considering people had to go out and buy the singles and radio had to play them, and songs raced up and down the charts in the mid-1960's.

In the case of both the Bee Gees and Diana Ross, movie songs played a roll in them getting three in the top 40 at once. For Diana, she had "Upside Down" with a long chart run that overlapped with the follow up "I'm Coming Out" reaching the top 40 while "Upside Down" was still in the top 10. Then "It's My Turn", the theme song to the movie of the same title, jumped in because it got released off of that soundtrack and not from the Diana LP. The Bee Gees had that run from Saturday Night Fever, which in a way functioned somewhat as a studio album of theirs, but was in fact a movie soundtrack. What was incredible for their run, is that it consisted not only of three songs in the 40, but three in the top 10 at once (2/25/78, 3/4/78). Somewhat strange that "How Deep Is Your Love" held at #10 for four weeks on its way down, but it was still there when "Night Fever" entered the top 10.

RSO's chart 'shenanigans' in 1978-79 are well-known. There's this instance, then there's "Shadow Dancing" keeping "Baker Street" out of #1, and finally the somewhat suspect ascent to #1 of "Love You Inside Out" for a week, interrupting "Hot Stuff"s stay at the top.

True, you can't compare the artists of today with the legends of yesteryear, especially since "Featuring" is all the rage, where someone could sing one note on a record and they get a featuring credit. Someone spoke of Whitney's trifecta in the Top 40 earlier in this thread, she also did this on Shadoe's AT40 on 3/13/1993 when it was using the Mainstream Chart.

Justin Bieber recently had 5 all at once. And looking at the latest Mediabase chart, Ariana Grande has 3 inside the Top 10.

In August 1993 there were 3 songs by SWV on Shadoe Stevens AT40 at the same time: "I'm So Into You", "Weak", and "Right Here (Human Nature)".

In early 1972,Melanie had three hits on "AT40":"The Nickel Song","Ring The Living Bell" & "Brand New Key"-In the fall of 1980,another female artist managed to pull that off:Diana Ross-Here's her trilogy of hits:"Upside Down","I'm Coming Out" & "It's My Turn".
