Gah! I blame the ORS site for missing that. They listed Richard Harris instead of Donna Summer! Oops, that means someone needs to brush up on his music knowledge from 1978

^ I'm currently trying to fight off a cold that wants to move in, so I may not be thinking at 100% for a few days. Either way, a mistake like that by ORS is inexcusable!

Triple plays this week:
Elton John had "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" in 1976 and "Blue Eyes" in 1982, plus has "Your Song" and "Crocodile Rock" played when spotlighting Gus Dudgeon on the producers special.
Chicago also has a triple play with "If You Leave Me Now" in 1976 and "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" in 1982, plus "Saturday In The Park", "Just You And Me" and "25 Or 6 To 4" were played in the James William Guercio spotlight on the producers special.

A Triple Play is easier to get this week than usual, as we have two October 1979 shows (from consecutive weeks) plus 1985. In terms of lead singing, Glenn Frey scores a triple by singing the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight" from 1979 and solo with "You Belong To the City" from 1985; bandmate Don Henley gets at least a partial TP with his 1985 solo hit "Sunset Grill".
As an aside, we get three songs from Phil Collins in the 10/12/85 show: two current chart hits (one a duet) and one LDD.

I dunno...wasn't the original idea that a Triple Play was three different songs rather than including two instances of the same song? I mean I guess you could count any one instance of the same song three times, but we'd have to see a perfect alignment of the right shows for that one. I'd count the Phil Collins one in the '85 show for sure, but I dunno about Glenn and Don.

I'm seeing quite a few doubles, but no triple for any one artist this week.
However, Diana Ross does warrant an honorable mention with the songs she has in both Premiere shows this weekend, as she doubles up in both the 10/20/73 ("Touch Me in the Morning", "You're a Special Part of Me" w/Marvin Gaye) and 10/18/80 ("I'm Coming Out", "Upside Down") shows.

The correct show date is 10/27/1973 not 10/20 so one Diana Ross song will be played.

Question. Do we count it for this week or not? The artist in question would be Michael Jackson. He's in XM's 10/28/72 show with "Ben". He's also in both the 10/31/70 show (at #1!) and the 10/25/86 show as a member of the Jackson 5. PROBLEM IS...it's the same song in both those shows: "I'll Be There". So...does this count since two out of the three are the same song, or not? At the very least, I think this warrants different consideration compared to two weeks ago, which involved two 1979 shows.

Ok, I would say it is. I have been keeping track of who has the most songs played on the 3 series this year. MJ is right in the thick of it having had 55 songs played going into this week to Elton John and Paul McCartney's 54 apeice. I include all songs played regardless of whether the same song is played on different shows with the exception of last week's top 3 and archive songs. So Michael will extend his lead this week a bit. Hey Cars alias CRZ, are you under the weather again? "I'll Be There" is on the 11/1/86 show not 10/25.

For 11/6/76, 11/5/77, and 11/5/83 the only potential Triple Play I can find for all three is Lionel Richie, with the Commodores' hits "Just To Be Close To You" (1976), "Brick House" (1977), and solo with "All Night Long" (1983), and that's qualified by him not singing lead on "Brick House".
Just between the two 70s shows, there are three songs by Linda Ronstadt, because of the fact that she had two songs simultaneously moving up the 1977 chart; both ultimately went Top 5.

Not seeing any for this week (11/11/72, 11/9/74, 11/16/85). Just a couple close calls where somebody like Elton John or Stevie Wonder is in two of the shows and not even on the Hot 100 on the date of the other.

Well, it looks like we finally have one this week: Linda Ronstadt (along with James Ingram) has the second LDD on 11/21/87, "Somewhere Out There", #16 AND #9 on 11/19/77 ("It's So Easy" and "Blue Bayou", respectively), and #31 on... Oh...wait a minute...we won't get to hear that #31 song at all. d**n! So, yet again there isn't one artist who'll be heard in all three shows this week. But Linda does have three different songs this week.

This week we get a triple play, perhaps even a quadruple play, of Neil Diamond: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Cracklin' Rosie" from 11/21/70; "Stones" from 11/27/71; and "Yesterday's Songs" from 11/28/81.
Additionally, we might get the Supremes in all three shows, with "Stoned Love" (1970); "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (an extra in 1971); and "Someday We'll Be Together" (Archives in 1981). Furthermore, "Someday..." combined with "...Hangin' On" and"Why Do Fools Fall In Love" means Diana Ross is featured in three songs overall. So is Rod Stewart, with "I Know (I'm Losing You)" and "Maggie May" (both 1971) and "Young Turks" (1981).

Sigh...and now we're back to having no Triple again, complete with several doubles. Even if Premiere picks Frida's "I Know There's Something Going On" as an extra for 12/4/82, it won't matter...Agnetha was the one who sang ABBA's "S.O.S." in 11/29/75.
