"This is simply a chronicle of how each of these songs performed in their era on the Hot 100. We're not saying these are the most memorable songs of your life. That would be something that's almost impossible to determine," said Mayfield. "Everyone has a subjective frame of reference."

The Billboard Hot 100 chart measures airplay and sales information (and more recently digital downloads) in determining the nation's most popular songs. To determine the most popular song of the Hot 100 era, Billboard used a formula to determine the top song — not always relying on weeks at No. 1 since the data was reported differently in its early days.

Maybe. Regardless of what it's based on...the song still blows donkey ass

Certainly no argument from me, there. Olivia Newton-John was the first crush I ever had. I watched the movie 'Grease', and wanted to do things to her that a young child of my age shouldn't have been thinking about way back in 1977! For the record, the conservative "Sandy" made me want to gag. It was the chick at the end of the movie in the black, tight, leather that I was digging
