(As mentioned Nicki Minaj's Anaconda came in at 3 the following week knocking Taylor down a space to complete an all female top 4)


Unless I've missed any between this week up to 1988, it's very surprising how low on occurence we've been able to get all female top 3's

That top 3 in 2009 <3 <3 <3 also 1998 was fab too!

The 2008 and 2009 instances have to be two of the best top 3s ever

Posted by: Gezza 1st September 2017, 03:24 PM

February 1988 was the first time ever if i recall correctly. Although credited as Yazz & The Plastic Population "The Only Way Is Up" was in reality a solo track meaning that W/E 13/08/88 could be added!

Incidentally you've got No 2 & 3 mixed up for W/E 19/11/88

I think the current Top 3 trumps all of those for me - Pink and Dua especially!

It's up there for me too actually, not as much as 2009 which are all in my all time top 100 but I've grown to really love Pink.

So TAylor seems to bring all the girls to the chart

The glorious summer of 2006 was very female heavy, Wyclef Jean's presence on Hips Don't Lie probably spoiled a few occasions that year where it could have been an all-female top three, with the likes of Maneater, I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker, Smile, Ain't No Other Man and Unfaithful floating around at the top at the same time. Also Buttons (though that had Snoop Dogg on it) and Voodoo Child, From Paris To Berlin, Everytime We Touch etc...which all had female lead vocals. Such a good period <3

Kylie doing featuring a hat trick of times during the 80s when there was a string of very strong female artists in the charts.
