The Supremes were and still are the #1 girl group in history. They were
the premier act of Motown Records in the 1960s and, at their peak, they
sold more records than any other entertainer, except for the Beatles.
They
helped to break down racial barriers in an era of civil rights,
presented themselves as glamorous and positive role models in a decade
of turmoil, and sang a versatile repertoire of songs that included
everything from doo-wop, disco, show tunes, country, and, of course,
their own hits.
During their eighteen-year run, the Supremes
scored over 30 top 40 hits, 12 of them reaching #1. According to
Billboard, only The Beatles, Mariah Carey, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and
Madonna have surpassed them with more #1 hits.
The 12 #1 hits in this video are:
"Where Did Our Love Go" (1964)
"Baby Love" (1964)
"Come See About Me" (1964)
"Stop! In The Name of Love" (1965)
"Back In My Arms Again" (1965)
"I Hear A Symphony" (1965)
"You Can't Hurry Love" (1966)
"You Keep Me Hanging On" (1966)
"Love Is Here and Now You're Gone" (1967)
"The Happening" (1967)
