This week we get a truly rare occurrence: 1970 and 1988 in the same week, something which under current rules is only possible for about five or six weeks.
With those years plus 1973, we get a triple play from Chicago, plus a 1988 Peter Cetera solo hit.

Bumping it up to credit Neil Diamond for a triple play: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" (1970 - SXM); "Stones" (1971 - PRN) and "Love on the Rocks" (1980 - PRN).
Actually, a quadruple play of charted songs if "Do It" (1970 - SXM) is also recognized.

Speaking of which, does anyone know why "Do It" was released as a single in late 1970, 4 years after its first appearance on both his 1966 debut album, The Feel of Neil Diamond, and then also the b-side to "Solitary Man"?

After Neil switched labels from Bang to Uni in 1968, his old label continued releasing singles to compete. Three of the songs made the Top 40. "Shilo" made it to #24 earlier in 1970, the re-release of "Solitary Man" reached #21, and the aforementioned "Do It" made it to #36. Other Bang singles to chart: - His original version of "Red Red Wine" was released a few weeks before his first Uni single, the great "Brooklyn Roads". Made it to #62.
- His original version of "I'm A Believer" reached #51 in the summer of 1971.
- In 1973 "The Long Way Home" briefly charted, reaching #91.

Stevie Wonder not only has at least a triple play for the second straight week. But he gets a double bonus of having 4 songs and all of them being in the top 10. In fact, he very nearly has all of them at their peak positions. He bookends the top 10 on the 80s show with "That's What Friends Are For" and "Go Home", is at #3 on the 70s show with "Boogie on Reggae Woman" and is it #2 on SXM with "I Wish". The latter is the only one not at its peak having fallen from the #1 position. His average position for these 4 songs is 4. Might be the highest average for an artist having a triple play.

Not only did he have bookends in the top ten this week in 1986, but he also bookended the Top 100 of 1986 with "Go Home" at #100, and "That's What Friends Are For" as the #1 song of 1986.

Resurrecting this thread...
Triple play of Jermaine Jackson all on next weekend's 1980s offering from August 25, 1984:
"Torture" (which debuted that week) "Dynamite" (which was climbing the chart that week) "State of Shock" (which was in the top ten, maybe the top five that week)
I do have one question: Will this be the first time there was to be a triple play of an artist or band all in one show?

No, here all the artists to have done this during the classic AT40 era. Melanie in 1972, Marvin Gaye in 1973, Paul McCartney in 1976, Bee Gees in 1978, and Diana Ross in 1980.
