If they do, as far as I'm aware they'll be the first act EVER to have number 1's in FIVE different decades. They'd have been looking at a sixth had they sold 12 more copies of 40 Licks in the first week in 2002 - unfortunately EMI in their infinite wisdom missed out on a sure thing by releasing it the same day as BMG released the "Elvis Number 1's CD.

Not five different decades - five in a row! This is the last year of the first decade of the Twenty Hundreds. If they do indeed record a new record and it happens to go to number one in 2011 or 2012 or 2020 it will be the sixth decade in a row.

It's not what I or you consider - it just IS. A decade ends with zero, it doesn't start with zero.

But for looking at decades ex. 60's, 70's 80's ect. you go by the years themselves and not the century counter. Good example is would you count 1980 as part of the 70's? No you would not. The 70's went out with 1979 and the 80's began with 1980. A bit silly to not consider 1980 as part of the 80's actually.
