Episode #63 (Season 2, Episode 13) discusses songs #1760-#1741, as we inch closer and closer to the #1 song in Billboard History. Artists featured include:
| Simon & Garfunkel
| Bananarama
| Pet Shop Boys
| Elvis Presley
| Faith Hill
| TLC
| Mariah Carey
| Jay-Z
The 90's are well represented in this latest episode, with massive hits from heavyweights Jay-Z, Faith Hill, TLC and Mariah Carey. Don't count out the 80's, though, as Bananarama makes their countdown debut and Air Supply scores with what one critic calls the 'worst summer song of all time'. Really? A classic coronation song from American Idol, and one of the most significant #1 hits in the great career of Elvis Presley.
Our discovery into the years of rock and roll lands on the year 1966, as we continue our Greatest Years segments. So many of the absolute greats in classic rock, Motown and the British Invasion are pushing each other to great heights in 1966. And so many songs that year hit the Top 40, 2nd most in rock era history!
