The Beach Boys. This is a result of the way music was sold and marketed in the 50s and 60s....albums did not become important until The Beatles and the Beach Boys - along with many other bands in the 60s - set the trend. This also largely reflects the importance of juke box sales in the early years of rock and roll. The Beach Boys are known for releasing singles with hits on both sides - a tactic that increased juke box sales but hurt record sales. Elvis had more hits, yet he is a single artist not a group. The Beatles also had more hits but were not an American band.
Since you specify band, rather than group, the answer is probably Chicago. To include groups , it would be The Supremes

It would have to either be The Beatles or Elvis Presley. At one point, The Beatles dominated all five places of the top five. And most of their music was on the list for months at a time.
