i`m 42 years old and i ain`t half heard some shit in my time.
I thought you’d like to know, Tom, that I’m using this site as a resource for students participating in my “Swinging Sixties” tutorial this term. So far, they’ve found it quite illuminating.
Tom, your ever-receding finishing line has reached another landmark – Cascada yesterday became the 1,100th UK Number 1.
Right now it’s the ever-receding HALFWAY mark that’s obsessing me.
Time to update page 6 and add a seventh?
i noticed chartstats have http://www.chartstats.com/number1s.php?decade=2010 for the 2010 but not added to their main page yet
