Cher has had a #1 single in 6 consecutive decades. Is this a first?

With "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from the movie Burlesque at #1 on the Billboard Club chart, Cher has added the 10's to her list of decades with #1 singles. Has anyone else had a streak like this?

1965 "I Got You Babe" (#1 Billboard Hot 100)

1971 "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" (#1 Billboard Hot 100)

1989 "If I Could Turn Back Time" (#1 Billboard Adult Contemporary)

1998 "Believe" (#1 Billboard Hot 100)

2002 "Song for the Lonely" (#1 Billboard Club)

2010 "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" (#1 Billboard Club)

Update:

@Peepaw Do you remember where you read it? It sort of implies that it's been done by a male artist before.

    Looks like it might be a first.

    I read where she was the first female to have a #1 hit in 6 decades.

    Yes, Cher is the first female, I'm not sure if any males have done it, but I'm sure they might have. Anyway, I'm really happy for Cher. She is without a doubt on my my favorite singers.

    She's the only one. I'm glad she has a hit because the movie bombed.
