A Question started in another time zone?

Actually a question in the Country Music Realm. Thanks to Muzik, who was right to question another post when asking whether the Country scene had produced three artists who actually overoad their number one hits with one of their own. It is perfectly legitimate, and has me questioning my own knowledge, as I think it is actually more possible than mainstream Rock, Pop, or elsewhere?

If you can help identify a web site, know Country well while knowing the answer to the question; please reply with some site help, or answers.

I think this site desires to be accurate for all time periods, and I would guess that if it were done it was probably long ago; admitting as always, that I can always be wrong.

Eddy Arnold had five on the trot from November 1st 1947 through to November 12th 1948 (on what was then called the Billboard Jukebox Chart) with:

"I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)"

"Anytime"

"Bouquet Of Roses"

"Texarkana Baby"

"Just A Little Lovin' (Will Go A Long, KLong Way)"

He did it again in 1949 with two consecutive No.1s:

"One Kiss Too Many"

"I'm Throwing Rice (At The Girl I Love)"

Hank Williams did it in 1953 with:

"Kaw-Liga"

"Your Cheatin' Heart"

In 1956 it was Elvis Presley's turn with:

"I Forgot To Remember To Forget"

"Heartbreak Hotel"

In 1964 Buck Owens did it:

"My Heart Skips A Beat"

"Together Again"

It didn't happen again until 1982, when Willie Nelson did it with:

"Always On My Mind"

"Just To Satisfy You" (with Waylon Jennings)

Can't find any instances of it happening since then.

I suppose Elvis must be the only person to have done it on both the "Country" and the "Pop" charts.
