In 2014, Guinness World Records issued certificates proving that, in 1955, Ruby Murray set three world records. Including the most songs in the Top Twenty in the same week. At the time, this record was unequaled by any other singer or group. (See picture below.) The record is unmatched by Madonna and The Beatles. Even Elvis could only equal her record!
