Now, where was I.
What? I mean, when I left off.
Wait, how long has it been?
Almost nine months!
Wow. Boy, if anything had happened in the world during this time, like, say, some awful, contagious pot roast had taken it upon its meaty self to sicken and/or murder thousands and thousands of people, that would have been terrible. And, in that case, you would have been totally forgiven for forgetting about this blog. But, luckily, that didn't happen.
Sniff.
I'm fine. FINE!
Anywho, yeah, we're doing this again.
Number one songs don't just stop, ya know. They keep coming and coming and coming! And, someone needs to take them apart and see what makes them tick. That person, apparently, is me. No, I don't know why either.
However, unfortunately, we no longer have a partner in this escapade. The Single File Podcast has gone the way of the Misfits of Science and Yugo dealerships, having been carried away to a farm upstate so that they can run free and enjoy their remaining days. Remember, no good thing ever dies. Especially quotes from decent but highly over-obsessed-about films. Those go on forever, sadly.
So, since we've got no audio brother with top notch early 80's technology (RIP NOPR) to dictate the next hit on the jukebox, we've got to figure out another way to restart this train. Fortunately, the machinations of automation are providing the answers again. I present to you all; Random.org.
Yep, we'll be looking at the top songs of music history, selected entirely by chance. I put a date range into the above website, beginning with the date of the very first chart topper of the Hot 100 era (August 4th, 1958) and ending with today. Each post will be about whatever tune happens to be number one on the day that gets spat out by this series of ones and zeroes.
Welp, it's as good a way as any.
With all that said, welcome back. And, let's press play!
