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).
