      Guess who dominates this? The Beatles have 5 songs on the list and actually tied for #1 although they are listed as #2!

        Yeah, what's up with that?  They never felt the need to say why "Summer Place,"  with the same number of weeks at #1 (Nine) as "Hey Jude" was listed as # 1 overall???  And can they never mention "He's So Fine" without  bringing George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" into it?  Must the two be forever linked??  It's annoying.  I didn't agree with the court ruling then....on those three notes....and I don't now, and I never will!!!!

              I can't believe that gross salute to war, "The Ballad of the Green Berets," was no. 1 for five weeks. Ick.

                At least War by Edwin Starr went to #1 in the U.S.
