Album: It Ain’t Easy
Year: 1970
. . .
Yesterday, I pointed out that Three Dog Night had 11 top ten singles from 1969-1974, while missing an even bigger stat: every single single they released between 1969’s “One” and 1974’s “Sure As I’m Sitting Here” made the top 20. 18 in a row. I doubt that’s a record, but it’s a pretty strong run of popularity. And once again, given this overlapped with the beginning of my AM radio days, I remember nearly all of them.
They also cranked out eight albums in that period (OK, their debut came out in 1968, but still), but only three of them made the top ten on the albums chart, because people saw them as a singles act, full stop.
