I always found it interesting that the Carpenters, who had a string of Top 10 hits from 1970 to 1973, couldn't get past #11 in 1974.

"I Won't Last a Day..." was a 'from the vaults' single release from 1972's "A Song For You". Their first new recording since '73, "Please Mr. Postman", was only one week out at the end of the year, entering the top 10 on the first chart week of '75.

Ryan mentioned recently that Taylor Swift is the only act to have at least two #1 hits in each of 3 consecutive decades.

He must only be counting Radio and Records/MediaBase and not the Billboard charts before that, or only counting solo acts. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson do it with a combination of their pre- R&R groups (Beatles, Jackson 5) and post- R&R (McCartney with Wings in the 70s, Jackson solo).

If group work is included, Diana Ross would also qualify for 60's-80's including her hits with the Supremes.

How about Weezer having exactly 3 top 40 hits, all landing in three different decades. Not something that an artist would necessarily aim for but impressive nonetheless. This has also happened on the Hot AC version of AT40 with 30 (Thirty) Seconds To Mars: 2007 - The Kill (Bury Me) 2011 - Closer To The Edge 2024 - Seasons

In fact, if he gets a hit here in the 20s, that will be 5 decades in a row he has had one top 40 hit.
