Keith Nivan Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 http://jumbledpileofperson.typepad.com/list/"This seems like a website that's worth a look daily, for the next six months or so. It's called List-a-Beefy and, for the next 193 days, they're going to be counting down a list of what they consider the top 200 songs that have reached #1 on the Billboard charts, between 1955 and 2010. A new #1 hit will be posted each day, along with context such as how long the song was #1, which song it replaced, which #2 songs it prevented from becoming number one, and related trivia."So it's more than just another list.Hat tip for the above explanation to the Yeah Right blog:http://www.yeahrightblog.com/yeah_right/that looks pretty cool itself.Enjoy. Shrug. Sprew hate."Keith" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Nivan Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hey Jude #164."The joke was: "It lasted nine weeks at number one because that's how long it took to play it once on the radio." Hey Jude is the height of arrogance ..."It goes on: http://jumbledpileofperson.typepad.com/list/"K" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Nivan Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 #142: Nancy Sinatra, These Boots Were Made For Walking."... the song writers, the producers, the singer herself probably could not have imagined the ways in which this song has survived and continues to inspire."No, thanks.http://jumbledpileofperson.typepad.com/list/"Keith" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Nivan Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm turning blue from held breathe awaiting a "Brandy" sighting!#1 for 1 Big Week in the Glorious Summer and Fall of '72.Someone who knows a bit about the topic says "Brandy" is the Best Oldie of All Time.I bet Tim from Wisconsin has a soft spot for the song, and Looking Glass, in his big heart."Keith" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Nivan Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 #46I'm a Believer - The Monkees"The fact that the Monkees were prefab and that they starred in A Hard Day's Night: The Series does diminish that fantastic pop that their arrival generated."Indeed. Seven weeks as #1. Not too shabby.http://jumbledpileofperson.typepad.com/list/"K" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
