@yourmusiceducationThis will take you back! Here’s every #1 song from 1964, the year The Beatles and The Supremes broke the American pop charts.

@yourmusiceducationReplying to @denisesmith1974 1992 was technically 30 years ago 🤬 but I’m pretty sure it was only like 5 years ago.

@yourmusiceducationReplying to @lynn.borgmann 2021 had more songs in the first 5 months than any year since 1991. Time Magazine named Olivia Rodrigo (who turned 18 in 2021) the Entertainer of the Year. BTS held the top spot for nearly 1/4 of the year (12 weeks). Drake, Justin Bieber, Lil Nas X, and Olivia Rodrigo all
@yourmusiceducationReplying to @_annachar_ 2019 was indeed so much Old Town Road. It set the record with 19 (consecutive) weeks at #1.
