From Wikipedia:
Some more info about The Supremes' first #1 hit released 50 years ago today, June 17, 1964--"Where Did Our Love Go?"
Where Did Our Love Go is a 1964 album by Motown singing group The Supremes. The album, their second studio LP, includes several of the group's singles and B-sides from 1963 and 1964. Included are the group's first Billboard Pop Singles number-one hits, "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", and "Come See About Me", as well as their first Top 40 hit, "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes", and the singles "A Breathtaking Guy" and "Run, Run, Run".
With the release of this album, The Supremes became the first act in Billboard magazine
history to have three number-one hits from the same album. It was the
album that introduced "The Motown Sound" to the masses. It was also, at
the time, the highest ranking album by an all female group. It remained
in the #2 position for 4 weeks, in January 1965, remaining on the
Billboard charts for an unprecedented 89 weeks.
Note the second paragraph where it states that The Supremes became the FIRST act in Billboard magazine history to have three number-one hits from the same album! It also was the highest ranking album by an all female group & remained on the Billboard charts for an unprecedented 89 weeks--that's over one year & nine months!!! GO SUPREMES!
