the-supremes-back-in-my-arms-again-motownNEW YORK — The Supremes, Motown Records artists, have made it five in a row. Billboard’s Hot 100 chart this week reveals their “Back In My Arms Again” is perched in the No. 1 position — their fifth consecutive big hit.

They landed in the top position last year with “Where Did Our Love Go” August 8 and stayed there two weeks.

“Baby Love” reached the top October 31 for a four week spell. “Come See About Me” actually hit the top twice — December 19 and again January 16 after riding the No. 2 spot for three weeks. “Stop In The Name Of Love” spent two weeks in the No. 1 position beginning March 20. END
