I also wouldn't be surprised if Lady Gaga carries over into the 20's, given her continued popularity.

The Jonas Brothers, either together or separately, are another I see hitting into the 2020's as I feel the momentum from their recent comeback will give them a few more hits into a third decade.

So now that the first Hot 100 of the 2020s has come out, I updated the initial post with 2000s acts that made that chart. Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Kelly Clarkson, Drake, Selena Gomez (who charted as part of Disney's Friends for Change in 2009), and Maroon 5 all made the list. For acts from earlier decades, Billy Ray Cyrus is still charting with "Old Town Road", and everyone else is charting because of Christmas songs.

As of this week on AT40, there’s the Jonas Brothers, Panic! At The Disco, Kesha and Taylor Swift. Potentially in the next couple of weeks, there’s also the Black Eyed Peas who are played as a Breakout.

Yes, one of those acts (Taylor Swift) would be in the Top 40 on Billboard this week if it weren't for all the Christmas songs (if you remove all the older Christmas re-entries, she would be at #34 with "Lover").

...if it weren't for all the Christmas songs... If it weren't for all of those Christmas songs, half of the artists in the latest list would not have made the list. Might it be better to indicate who on the list is charting with new songs now? If we're all here in 30 years, the list in 2050 would likely have Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, the Ronettes and others. Also... did all of the artists who made the list have songs on the chart in the year 2000, or in the 2000s decade? If the latter, I don't think it's fair if someone who charted in 2009 gets to make the list as they're on the chart only 11 years after their chart debut. Sorry if I come across as the mean neighbor who yells, "Hey, you kids, get off my lawn!" There's a fairness issue involved that isn't being taken into account. Someone should make this list if their new songs are charting 20 years after their debut... but maybe that's just me. |

It did cross my mind to indicate which artists only made the list due to older songs recharting, or because other songs sampled their earlier hits (I believe Otis Redding charted in the 2010s because of that last one). The main reason I haven't is just due to laziness on my part. I may include it at some point.
As for the other suggestion, I realize it's probably unfair to say that an artist with an 11-year chart history has spanned three decades (I mention Cheap Trick in the first post - first hit the Top 40 in 1979, last hit it in 1990). But the list was originally conceived as acts who charted in one calendar decade, and charted at least two calendar decades later, and I don't think I'm going to change that.

One to look out for in the coming weeks:
Alicia Keys has just released her new single "Underdog", which is already #44 on Mediabase CHR/Pop in its first day of release. If it makes the top 40 (likely to air on AT40 in a few weeks), that could make another for the 00's-10's-20's.

And this week, "Lover" returns to the Top 40 at... #34. So now she makes the list along with the Jonas Brothers and Jeremih. |

If you could single out those artists charting with new songs, that would be helpful  . Maybe if the title of this thread were, "Acts hitting the Top 40 in three different decades", then I wouldn't have had my previous quibble. Thanks for the update. |

Technically, it's not three different decades; it's about charting two decades or more after their first hit. For example, an act that charted in the 60s and 80s but not in the 70s would make the list.

I'm betting that Alicia Keys' new single "Underdog" will soon be on the Hot 100 (if not already) and AT40.

Still sad to see Santana's streak end. AFAIK they had no Top 40 hits in the 2010s.

Santana may have retired by now, though they were planning to perform at the Woodstock 50 festival in 2019, which was planned, but got scrapped at the last minute.

Due to her latest single "Anyone", Demi Lovato now qualifies for the 2020's - she first hit in the 2000's.
