While eight of these titles landed on the Billboard Adult contemporary chart[1] when originally released, all twenty-one hit the Hot 100.[2] Peaking at No. 1 on the Hot 100 were "Joy to the World," "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" and "Black and White." On the Adult contemporary charts, the No. 1s were "Black & White" and "An Old Fashioned Love Song." To date this is the only compilation to contain all of the band's top 40 hits. There were eleven top 10s, seven of them reaching gold status.[3] Three Dog Night disbanded in 1977.[4]
