Challenge indeed ...

I called up Billboard.com, looked for archives (near the bottom of page), selected the magazine for the week ending after my birthday (Nov 26, 1952), searched 'singles' (people born after 1955 can simply type in top 100 or hot 100) - result #3 got me "best selling singles", Then I went to You Tube and typed the #1 song from that chart, select embed, copied and pasted it in the YouTube icon and presto - nothing ...

However, now that Chrissi has shown me the errors of my way, here it is.

Joni James - Why Don't You Believe Me?

BTW, I hate that song. Don't much care for her body of work either; she had nearly two dozen top 40 hits in the 50's, this being her only #1.

Never heard about this group before, or song. I don´t know what I shall think about. Its not good. It is not really bad. It is 1978s hit during october.

It was a one-hit wonder band at the end of the disco era, but it sure was addictively fun to listen to and dance to.

Not quite

A Taste of Honey (the group) released 4 top 100 songs, with one getting to #41 and another, the remake of Sukyaki staying on the charts for nearly 6 months in 1981 and reaching #3

Thank you for the correction, Sheriff.  I don't remember hearing anything but that one song from them, but I guess they were a 4-hit-wonder band, after all.    ;D

    In the Mood.  One of the most popular songs in history.  I learned to dance to this record.  I love love love it.  It was one of the songs that were played by my high school during dance class.

      I am really dating myself.  LOL   :-\     :-\
