The Supremes achieved their first U.S. No. 1 single when “Where Did Our Love Go” topped the
Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. It was the first of five consecutive No. 1 singles for the group and also the first of their twelve total U.S. No. 1 hits. The song also reached No. 1 on the R&B chart, No. 3 in the United Kingdom, and No. 1 in Canada and New Zealand. Holland–Dozier–Holland originally wrote it for
The Marvelettes, who rejected it because they thought it sounded too childish. At the top of the Billboard Hot 100, The Supremes replaced
Dean Martin with “Everybody Loves Somebody”;
The Beatles were at No. 3 with “A Hard Day's Night”.
