Billboard's 50th Anniversary


“The Twist” by Chubby Checker, (the 1960’s American musician) is declared to be the best single of all times in the Billboard’s hits list. This music magazine keeps on making charts and graphs that are not always the best, but seem fare once in a while. Definitely it’s not very fare this time… The list out of one hundred best songs was set up in dedication to the 50th anniversary of the Billboard’s Hot 100, practically the official American music listing chart. It is interesting that the first five places were not taken by such artists as The Beatles and Elvis Presley. They used to occupy their hit’s parade for years and years, but now either times have changed or the Billboard is hitting on something else. For example, “Hey Jude” is standing on the 8th place! Here you may look at the first ten:


1. Chubby Checker “The Twist”


2. Santana Featuring Rob Thomas “Smooth”


3. Bobby Darin “Mack The Knife”


4. LeAnn Rimes “How Do I Live”


5. Los Del Rio “Macarena” (Bayside Boys Mix)


6. Olivia Newton-John “Physical”


7. Debby Boone “You Light Up My Life”


8. The Beatles “Hey Jude”


9. Mariah Carey “We Belong Together”


10. Toni Braxton “Un-Break My Heart”
