Billboard Hot 100 Anniversary

MkGenie

(18-08-08) In celebration of it's 'Hot 100' Chart, Billboard magazine has begun to publish various lists of musical milestones. These lists are 'teasers' for a massive "Hot 100" of all-time chart, which will be unveiled next month. Since the "Hot 100" didn't begin until the year 1958 (with Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" as its first No. 1), the all-time list will not include the first three years of the "Rock 'n' Roll" era. That means that there will be no "Rock Around the Clock;" few doo-wop artists and only a small segment of the contributions of Elvis Presley on the all-time list. The various lists are quite entertaining and, of course, the King of Pop can be found on several different ones. For example, three of the various lists can be found below: *Songs that reached No. 1 by different artists: "Go Away Little Girl" - Steve Lawrence and Donny Osmond "The Locomotion - Little Eva and Grand Funk Railroad "Please Mr. Postman" - The Marvelettes and the Carpenters "I'll Be There" - Jackson Five and Mariah Carey "Lady Marmalade" - LaBelle and Christina Aguilera & Company "Lean On Me" - Bill Withers and Club Nouveau "Venus" - The Shocking Blue and Bananarama "When A Man Loves a Woman" - Percy Sledge and Michael Bolton "You Keep Me Hangin' On" - The Supremes and Kim Wilde *The most No. 1 songs by the same artist: With Elvis ineligible, the Beatles are tops with 20 No. 1 singles, followed by Michael Jackson with 13. The rest of the list includes Madonna and the Supremes with 12, Whitney Houston with 11, Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder with 10, the Bee Gees, Elton John and Paul McCartney with 9 and the Rolling Stones and Usher with 8. *The 100 artists with the best "Top 100" average (To qualify for this list, the artist had to have a minimum of 20 hits, so these are truly the heavy hitters of pop music.): Three Dog Night came in first. They released 21 singles that, on average, placed No. 12 on the 'Hot 100' chart. Rounding out the top 10 on this list are Madonna (53 singles/No. 14 average), George Michael (28/14.9), Mariah Carey (39/15.3), Janet Jackson (41/16.3), Huey Lewis & the News (22/17.8), Michael Jackson (46/19.2), Hall & Oates (34/21), Bryan Adams (27/21.2) and Lionel Richie (20/21.3) The big 'Hot 100 of All Time' chart is due out next month and should be fascinating reading for all of you true music fans out there!
