"Something" reached #1 only as the flip of "Come Together" and not as the front side, which only reached #3. - Wednesday, May 28, 2003 at 11:31:55 (PDT) |

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" didn't PEAK at #3, but rather PEAKED at #1 starting 3 January 1970. - Wednesday, May 28, 2003 at 11:28:54 (PDT) |
|
"Hot Fun In The Summer Time" by Mungo Jerry: incorrect "Hot Fun In The Summertime" by Sly & The Family Stone: correct You mixed up "Hot Fun In The Summertime" with "In The Summertime" (which hit #3 on 12 September 1970 for Mungo Jerry). - Wednesday, May 28, 2003 at 11:26:08 (PDT) |
