it is possible they might be only the second girl group overall to go top 10 at Hot AC. groups such as TLC, Destiny's Child , Pussycat Dolls and Fifth Harmony all missed it but it seems The Dixie Chicks also did with a cover of Landslide which was released back in 2002.
I don't think any girl groups have ever made the top 10 on the HotAC music chart before. I could be wrong, but I just don't know.
En Vogue "Don't Let Go" got to 19 in 1997. The "Spice Girls" not sure any of their songs did well nether.
The guy groups have had more success at HOTAC radio.
Boyz II Men: "I'll Make Love To You" no 2 in 1995 for 3 weeks
Boyz II Men: "On Bended Knee" no 7 for 1 week in 1995
Boyz II Men: "Water Runs Dry" no 4 for 1 week in 1995
Take That: "Back For Good" no 1 for 3 weeks in 1995
All-4-One: "I Can Love You Like That" 7 for 5 weeks 1995
Backstreet Boys "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" no 10 for 2 weeks in 2018.
BTS: "Dynamite" no 10 & "Butter" no 14
It seem to me that HOT AC radio just hate girl groups for some reason. It is odd because I thought women were Hot AC main target group?
