Hot 100

I love putting together playlists, so at least once a week I will be posting a playlist that has something to do with what's going on that week.  Since nothing huge has happened this week, today's playlist will be number-one singles from the past that spent the most time at number-one starting with 1960 and ending with 1988 (sources: Wikipedia; Billboard Hot 100).

1960:  Theme from "A Summer Place" - Percy Faith (9 weeks)
1962:  Sherry - The Four Seasons (5 weeks)
1964:  I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Beatles (7 weeks)
1966:  Ballad of the Green Berets - SSgt Barry Sadler (5 weeks)
1968:  Hey Jude - The Beatles (9 weeks)
1970:  Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel (6 weeks)
1972:  The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack (6 weeks)
1974:  Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks (3 weeks)
1976:  Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright) - Rod Stewart (7 weeks)
1978:  Night Fever - Bee Gees (8 weeks)
1980:  Call Me - Blondie (6 weeks)
1982:  I Love Rock 'n' Roll - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (7 weeks)
