metaphorge- the Archbishop of Balogna!!!

Here's a list of Billboard's Number One hits, all the way back to 1955, which is where I consider that the era of "Rock & Roll" really began (with the chart ascendancy of "Rock Around the Clock". 1955, 1956,1957 and 1958 prior to August are from the "Top 100" chart, which presaged Billboard's invention of the "Hot 100" to determine what was "the Number One hit".
