You're right: The #3 "Everything Your Heart Desires" completed it for them. So I guess we each get half credit? A-ha!--no #10 for Daryl and John! Who can it be, then? Madonna...if you count soundscan

Nope, they never peaked at #10 during the period. But they did come so close with their #11 hit ... "So Close"! I corrected myself...they also hit 12 as well.

I'll bet Marvin counts, since the last peak # he needed was also #3 ("Sexual Healing").

Marvin Gaye!!! No! No #5!!! Darn it! "Your Precious Love" hit number 5 Correct! Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye. I think a duet with a part-time partner (even if Marvin had several) still counts. But it's still a more rare accomplishment than I would've first thought.

But it's still a more rare accomplishment than I would've first thought. You would think if Janet Jackson could do the Top 5 with one album, more than two artists could do the Top 10 in a lifetime! Good question!

During the pre-SoundScan period, I believe that only two rock era recording acts had hits peak at each position in the Hot 100's top ten. Who are they? Oddly, both acts completed this achievement by peaking at the same position. (I'm not adding together the hits for acts that recorded both solo and in a full-time group. If I did, the only addition to the list that I can see is Ringo Starr.) It's a great question! I covered the topic (not limited to pre-Sound Scan) in a thread from 2013 under General Music Discussion. I'll bump it up.

-- Posting from my oceanfront villa on Hilton Head Island -- Which song does not belong with the others, and why? "My Boyfriend's Back" - Angels, #1 on 9/7/63, 9 x 7 = 63 "A Hard Day's Night" - Beatles, #1 on 8/8/64, 8 x 8 = 64 "Baby Love" - Supremes, DOES NOT BELONG"Paint it Black - Rolling Stones, #1 on 6/11/66, 6 x 11= 66 "Against All Odds" - Phil Collins #1 on 4/21/84, 4 x 21 = 84 "Rush Rush" - Paula Abdul #1 on 7/13/91, 7 x 13 = 91 Good luck! The dates that "Baby Love" reached #1, when you multiply the month and day it does not equal to the last 2 digits of the year. See above. "Baby Love" was at #1 on 10/31, 11/7, 11/14, and 11/21/64. CORRECT!
