15 Chart Toppers!

If memories are what this site is all about – and it really is – then a medley filled with Number One songs stretching from the 50s into the 70s must include, at the very least, a memory or two for anyone listening to this.

The whole thing kicks off with the very first #1 song on the inaugural Billboard Hot 100 chart (August 4, 1958) and includes five chart toppers each from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

This one is a little longer than usual, but hey, you can never get enough of a good thing! 🙂

    Good Morning Ray 🙂 Now that you’re keeping us all happy with your musical memories again I have a question. Ted & I have been asked to take part in the Nielson Radio Ratings. We are instructed to write the call letters, dial setting, station name or program name. Internet & satellite service is to be included. Can I include Streamingoldies in my Nielson Report? Not asking for a friend. Thanks for the melodies. Lee

      Thanks for asking, Lee, but I am not registered with Nielson, so it would be a wasted vote. I do, however, appreciate the kind thought. ❤️
