Got one for each decade of the 20th century. Going by woolebull's definition of top 10 or not for the 70s. Heatwave..."Boogie Nights"(#2), "Always & Forever" (#18), "The Grooveline" (#7). But Always was a popular LDD so the 'meh' title may not be appropriate for that one. For the 80s, the 'meh' title again may not apply putting Pat Benatar in this category. 'Heartbreaker" seems more like a 'wow' then a 'meh". In which case, she has "Heartbreaker" (#23), "You Better Run" (#42), "Hit With Me With Your Best Shot" (#9). If this is supposed to be top 40 hits even for the 'meh' hit then this won't work anyway. But I like it because Pat really made statements with those first and third songs while falling short on the second one. For the 90s, Savage Garden "I Want You" (#1), "To the Moon and Back" (#21), "Truly Madly Deeply" (#1). It's wow, meh, wow, meh for them because after Truly, they re-released Moon and it hit #19 the second time.

It is true that given its enduring popularity, "Heartbreaker" feels a lot bigger than its Hot 100 peak would indicate. A later Pat Benatar example might be "We Belong" (#5), "Ooh Ooh Song" (#36), and "Invincible" (#10).

A good one, and one I should've gotten because for a hot second in 1997 I thought they were actually Roxette, is Savage Garden. They would pull a Roxette by going #1,meh,#1 with "I Want You" "To The Moon And Back" and "Truly Madly Deeply". Then they tried to push "Moon" as the next single after "Deeper" again...only to fall short of the top 10 a second time with the same song within a year. So if you're scoring at home:
#1 meh #1 meh
The mehs being the exact same song.

James Taylor: Fire and Rain, Country Road, You've Got a Friend Sheena Easton: Morning Train, Modern Girl, For Your Eyes Only Bangles: Manic Monday, If She Knew What She Wants, Walk Like an Egyptian The Bangles were one that I thought of. Two others that come to mind--first three chart singles for both acts: Jody Watley: "Looking For a New Love" (#2), "Still a Thrill" (#56), "Don't You Want Me" (#6) The Jets: "Crush On You" (#3), "Private Number" (#47), "You Got It All" (#3) If we're just talking albums, Prince's Sign O' the Times LP had for the first three singles: "Sign O' the Times" (#3), "If I Was Your Girlfriend" (#67), "You Got the Look" (#2)

Did that one off the top of my head which was obviously not the way to do it. woolebull posted the Savage Garden that I did need a book for a few hours later.
