The Number Ones is a column where where the author reviews every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working their way up into the present.awarding each a grade, from 1 to 10.
by the aurhor's own admission a shameless ripoff of the British blogger Tom Ewing’s long-running column Popular , in which Ewing’s spent more than a decade doing the same thing with the UK charts.

Wow - this incredibly interesting! I checked a couple out and bookmarked it - I can see myself losing a good hour to reading through these. Thanks for sharing

Very cool post Mike! Very interesting to see how music has evolved even from 10 years ago. Thanks for sharing!
