Occasionally, I retrieve one of the dozens of Motown and Motown related books in my collection to reread the book to see what I may have forgotten. This time I decided to reread Where Did Our Love Go by the esteemed Nelson George. I had forgotten about the discography that lists the Top 40 pop songs from 1962 to 1971, the year of the label's greatest success. This is what was reported in the surveys.

Four Tops - 2
Marvin Gaye - 1
Jackson Five - 4
Gladys Knight & Pips - 1
Marvelettes - 1
Miracles - 1
Diana Ross - 1
Edwin Starr - 1
Supremes - 12
Temptations - 3
Mary Wells - 1
Stevie Wonder - 1
Total -29-

I was surprised that Martha & the Vandellas did not have any #1's on the pop charts; they did however have 2 #1's on the R&B charts. Heat Wave and Jimmy Mack were #1 on the R&B charts.

Interesting data and statistics.
