In the history of music, what family has made it to the number one spot on the charts in three consecutive generations?

It depends what you mean by 'history'. Strauss, Bach? Jul 16 02, 5:19 PM

I do not think they had charts in Bach's and Strauss's day so I think the Nelson Family fit the bill - http://www.ricknelson.com/012701.html Jul 16 02, 7:27 PM

There may be more than one answer, but the Carter/Cash family is certainly one of them. Johnny Cash of course had several number one songs, starting with I Walk the Line. His wife June Carter, along with her sisters and mother Maybelle Carter had many hits, some are on the 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' soundtrack that is at number one right now. Rosanne Cash, his daughter, has had several number one hits starting with three from the album 'Seven Year Ache.' I looked at several web sites, the following are just a few of them. http://maninblack.net/Family.html http://www.fmp.com/orthey/carter.html http://www.stevenmenke.com/Carter%20Family%20.htm http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusicCharts/COUNTRY.html http://www.canoe.ca/JamAlbumsN/nittygritty_circle_sun.html http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/05.13.99/art-cash-9919.html Jul 16 02, 9:46 PM
