@yourmusiceducationReplying to @jwjeisudufhfhe In you were in a group that began with the word The, 1967 was your year! The Summer of Love ended most appropriately with All You Need Is Love by The Beatles. Aretha Franklin got her first #1 with her signature cover of Otis Redding’s Respect, and The Doors got their first […]
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @backitupterrrrry Here we go, Hanson fanatics. MMM1997. The #1 song for the year was Elton John’s remake of his 1973 song Candle in the Wind with updated lyrics for Princess Diana’s funeral.

@yourmusiceducationReplying to @virginiagirl2022 Finally getting around to your comment! 1976 had 26 #1 songs and 6 continued the word Love in their title.

@yourmusiceducationReplying to @rachy0323 There’s pretty much something for everyone in the list of number ones songs from the from 1991.

@yourmusiceducation(Non-voice effect version) As the world approached a new millennium and the fears about Y2K mounted, pop music in the United States was all over the place.
