Title: The #1 Song of the "Rock Era" is.........
Post by: ggw on December 26, 2002, 03:26:00 pm: Smooth by Santana."'Smooth' is not the longest-running No. 1 single of the rock era," says Bronson, "although it had a respectable 12-week run at the top [of the Hot 100]. The secret to its success is longevity. The single stayed in our top-10 for 30 weeks, setting a record for the longest top-10 visit by a No. 1 song." The higher a song peaked on the charts and the longer it stayed in the upper echelon, the more points it accumulated in Bronson's system. <A HREF="http://www.billboard.com/billboard/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1783103" TARGET=_blank>http://www.billboard.com/billboard/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1783103[/url] Here are the top 40 singles of the rock era1.

One must act like an elitist as well. If your local shop doesn't stock your favorite overpriced mineral water, be sure to treat them with utter disdain.
