Some bizarre Billboard singles chart trivia from the 1970’s - name the only group act to have a song hit the top five in each year from 1972-1976.

It was The Spinners!

1972 - “I’ll Be Around” peaked at #3
1973 - “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love” peaked at #4.
1974 - “Then Came You” (with Dionne Warwick) reached #1.
1975 - “Games People Play” peaked at #5
1976 - “Rubberband Man” peaked at #2

Wow. As far as I know they are the only band that was in Motown, then was part of Philly later/. (It's a Shame was written by Stevie Wonder)

Weird, they are evenly distributed: a #1, a #2, a #3, a #4, a #5.
