 favourites made the list.

The person who made the list notes that it is how the song did globally and some bled over two months so he didn't do repeats. What I can gather then is he if he listed a top song in February and it was still the top song in March he took the next song on the list to avoid repeats. Fair enough.

 for fun I watched the video.

I own 4 lps with #1 hits - Dexy's Midnight Runners, Men At Work, and Cyndi Lauper and J. Geils Band.

Additional 8 other bands, who are in my LP collection, have #1 hits on the list, but I don't have the LPs that contain those hits. John Lennon, Foreigner, ELO, Tina Turner, Los Lobos, Hall & Oats, Police and Steve Miller. And I'm pretty sure I have little to no interest in owning those albums (in fact I have owned most of them in the past).

Lots a great songs on the list BTW.

 

Also you say pop/rock but really how much rock is on that list?, posted on September 24, 2021 at 14:54:19

 Pop and rock sort of gets burred - the Beatles were a rock band but their albums are usually now found in the pop section.

It's the 2000s version that makes me appreciate the 1980s.

 one is interesting because most of them have held up 40-50 years later - most of the 2000s dreck is forgotten 2 months later.

 

Sure wish I could forget lots of that 70s stuff, posted on September 25, 2021 at 05:59:26

 These kinds of conversations deal with industry and it's marketing focus. Granted I aged out of their targeted audience back in the mid 70s. Your 70s list is full of sad and pathetic music - much of it I once loved. Very little of it is represented in my album collection except on compilations.

I'm not sure someone who was in 6th to 12th grade in the 2000s isn't going to feel the same way about their music.

I've bought many great records released after the year 2000 - not a single song from any of them showed up on the top hit list you posted. What's new - this has been par for the course.

It's so audiophile of us to be hung up on marketing vehicles.
