USA #1 Single Song

March 21, 1950 - this was the Billboard top SELLING single. It remained on the top for four weeks until April 15.   It was NOT played most often on radio, in fact it wasn't played much on radio. It was, during the week of April 8, the most played on jukeboxes.

Why didn't radio exploit the trend?

What are jukeboxes? See here.

June 1968 - When I was graduating from high school this was the number one song for the period June 1 to 15.

In Austrailia, Rob, Production Manager at Haltech Engine Management Systems, imported a 1983 GMC Van. He meticulously copied the A-Team van with the exception of the engine. He replaced it with a new GM fuel-injected LS2 V-8 (very highly efficient).

Today Sunday January 1, 2017 (my wife's birthday) a bicycle store owner stood with me on the Pinellas Trail while he called local law enforcement. He insisted I stole the trike in front of his shop ten days ago. When we retrieved documentation of the ownership of the tricycle we did not find absolute proof but were able to dismiss connections to the cycle stolen from his inventory.
