Fun with Music

So, of all the many, many songs to top the Billboard chart in the past 50 years, any guesses as to which the most popular of them all?

No, it's not "Hey Jude."

It's not "American Pie."

Heck, it's not even "Macarena."

Still need a hint? OK: the answer will make you weep for humanity.

Perhaps I exaggerate a little. But I am glad to see my rock-snob prejudices backed up by cold, hard data.

Is it a bad thing that I only recognize three of the top 10 songs? Maybe I should stop listening to NPR so much.
