It’s not as many as you might think.
More proof the fix was in when the record labels and traditional radio ruled the music business.
For example, the week of May 21, 1988, Def Leppard’s smash hit ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The #1 song that week? Gloria Estefan ‘Anything For You’. #1’s that followed that year… George Michael ‘One More Try’ and Rick Astley ‘Together Forever’.
Of the four songs just mentioned, which is the most memorable today? I guess you could equate this to the runner-up on American Idol going on to a more successful career.
