Posted September 1, 20178 yr Since someone on one of the chart groups on Facebook was asked when was the last time we had a all female top 3, I thought I'd post the info without being their own wording obviously for stats and interest to any of you since you've been asking this too!

September 1, 20178 yr 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 :D
September 1, 20178 yr I think the current Top 3 trumps all of those for me - Pink and Dua especially!
September 1, 20178 yr yes, two covers... Well done for noticing. Hardly a massive achievement but thanks. :lol:
September 1, 20178 yr 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.
September 2, 20178 yr 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 Edited September 2, 20178 yr by gooddelta
September 2, 20178 yr Kylie doing featuring a hat trick of times during the 80s when there was a string of very strong female artists in the charts.

Such a good period <3 I loved Summer 2006 and all of 2006 in general. Yeah, the chart rules were a bit stupid but the music was so damn good, male or female.
May 27May 27 Kylie " je ne sais pas pourquoi" was number 2 for 3 weeks and was kept off by Enya. Robin Beck was not number one when "Pourquoi " was at number 2, Kylie was number 3.
Saturday at 20:094 days Interesting thread! Assuming none have been missed from the OP I've managed to find the remaining all-female top 3s! I've included instances where consecutive numbers below the top 3 are also all female. It was a very common sight at the end of last year depending on whether you disregard the "KPop Demon Hunters Cast" credit for the Huntr/x songs like the OCC.08/09/2017Look What You Made Me Do - Taylor Swift (1)New Rules - Dua Lipa (2)What About Us - Pink (3)30/11/2018Thank U Next - Ariana Grande (1)Woman Like Me - Little Mix ft.
