87.7 MeTV FM/Chicago, the music radio companion to the MeTV Television Network, will present "Timeless & Memorable Trifectas: Pop Hits That Made Three Charts at the Same Time" starting Friday, June 12 at 7pm and airing all weekend through midnight on Sunday, June 14. This specially curated event features a playlist of pop songs that achieved the rare distinction of making three different charts in Billboard magazine simultaneously -- the Pop chart along with two of the following charts: AC, Country, Rhythm and Blues, Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Rock.
Fans of timeless hits are invited to listen in to this eclectic collection of songs that ranges from bona fide blockbusters (such as Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy," a #1 song across the Pop, AC and Country charts in 1975) to instrumentals (Hugh Masekela's "Grazing in the Grass," a Pop, Adult Contemporary and R&B hit in 1968) to message/story songs (Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody," a Pop, AC and R&B hit in 1975).
"Everybody knows what a one-hit wonder is," said MeTV FM Program Director Rick O'Dell. "We think it is a good time to put the MeTV FM spotlight on another special category, where you have one song being a hit on three different charts at the same time. We can call these timeless trifectas the ultimate crossover songs."
