It's worth noting that due to "Angel" being an extra this week, Madonna gets a self-contained Triple Play in this week's 5/4/85 show - the one she almost had naturally!
Seeing as there's been no other response so far this week, I can assume there is no other Triple of any kind this week?

She almost got that triple play as you say in Billboard. Did she get a triple play in R&R with those 3 songs or with "Crazy for You", "Angel" and "Into the Groove"?

Over on the Weekly Top 40 (which would be using the 4/26 R&R chart), "Angel" and "Material Girl" would be back-to-back at 38 and 37, and "Crazy For You" hit #1 (it spent two weeks on top there).

Other artists who have had three songs in the top 40 at the same time are Gale Storm in the 50's and The Beatles and Herman's Hermits in the 60's. Were there any others after 1988? The R&B group SWV had a triple play in the top 40 - with "I'm So Into You", "Weak" and "Right Here (Human Nature)" on the same AT40 show at some point during August 1993. That triple play lasted at least 2 or 3 weeks, if I recall. The latter two songs made the top ten, while the other one peaked at #12. I think it would be the last triple play during the original AT40 run.

In February/March 1993, Whitney Houston had "I Will Always Love You", "I'm Every Woman", and "I Have Nothing" in the R&R top 40 at once. All three hit #1.

This week's 1974 and 1988 shows only have one artist in common - Michael Jackson. "Dancing Machine" was on 1974 and "Dirty Diana" on 1988.
So it's all on Sirius XM; we will have a triple play if their show has a Michael Jackson/Jacksons song on it. A show from 1971 (Never Can Say Goodbye), 1972 (Rockin' Robin solo and Little Bitty Pretty One with his brothers), 1977 (Show You The Way To Go) or 1979 (Shake Your Body Down To The Ground) would do it.

With SXM apparently playing 1979, MJ does score a triple, in three different permutations (Jackson 5, Jacksons, and solo.) The exact same thing (with two of the same songs) happened two weeks ago.

Not really a chance for this week... both the 1977 and 1984 shows have Shalamar in them, but they had no other 70's hits.
Similarly, Fleetwood Mac is in the 1977 show and 1984 has a Christine McVie solo song... but "Dreams" had Stevie Nicks on vocals!

Looks like there is a triple play this week!
Chicago was on the 1971 show with "Lowdown" and on 1975 with "Old Days", plus "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" was a LDD on the 1985 show.

On the 1976 and 1983 shows, only two artists that I can see double up: Stevie Nicks (lead vocal with Fleetwood Mac in 1976, solo in 1983) and Hall & Oates. Both will become a triple if Sirius XM does 1977, as Stevie Nicks sang lead on that week's #1 "Dreams" and Hall & Oates had "Back Together Again" at #28.

It's 1979 this week from SXM, so no triple play in terms of singing lead, but John Stewart's 1979 hit "Gold" includes Stevie Nicks singing backup vocals, if that counts.

No triple plays this week out of 6/30/73, 6/25/77, and 6/28/80, though it's worth noting that if Bette Midler were two notches higher on 6/25/77 and Alice Cooper one notch higher on 6/28/80 they would have had triples. (Cooper's "Clones (We're All)" peaked at #40 the following week, which is notable since a special countdown was aired that week, making it one of the few Billboard top 40 hits of the 70s and 80s never heard on AT40).

From this week's Premiere shows, 1974 and 1983, have two artists in common: Elton John and The Hollies. If Sirius XM does 1972 (Rocket Man - unlikely as they just did it this week), 1975 (Someone Saved My Life Tonight), 1976 (Don't Go Breaking My Heart), or 1979 (Mama Can't Buy You Love), then Elton will have a triple play. Safe to say The Hollies won't have a triple play as they only appear on 1972 (Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress). EDIT: Sirius XM is 1975 this week, so Elton indeed has the triple play!

This is an easier week for a triple play, with two countdowns from the same year (1970), though I'm assuming for different weeks. Putting those together with 1984 produces triples for Tina Turner and the Jackson 5/Jacksons, plus as a bonus Jermaine Jackson has a solo hit.
