It's the beginning of another month, so again, I'll take a look back at the #1 songs this date back 110 years to 1900. With the exception of the sixties, it will be years ending with zero.
Taken from Josh Hosler www.joshhosler.boz/NumberOneinHistory/SelectMonth.htm. Well worth checking out. He used the Billboard charts to compile his list.
2010 LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE-- Eminem feat. Rihanna
2000 IT'S GONNA BE ME-- 'NSYNC-- One of those great Boy Bands. Great music regardless.
1990 VISION OF LOVE-- Mariah Carey
1980 MAGIC-- Olivia Newton-John-- Could she ever sing and PRETTY, Too.
1970 (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU-- Carpenters-- Really too bad about Karen. A very sad disease.
1969 IN THE YEAR 2525 (EXORDIUM & TERMINUS)-- Zager & Evans-- The future's not so bright?
1968 HELLO, I LOVE YOU-- Doors-- My favorite Doors song. Always reminds me of that summer.
1967 LIGHT MY FIRE-- Doors-- Not too slouchy having the number one song this date two years running.
1966 WILD THING-- Troggs-- What a great opening riff!!
More to Come. --RoadDog
DIDJA HEAR? The Energizer Bunny was arrested for battery.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
