	Bizarrely I got the top 10 by typing in "Theme from a summer place"! Thanks to an old book of US number 1s I have (no I didn't look!).

	Great quiz. I'm surprised at how much of a difference there is in the stats that don't necessarily correlate with the rankings of the songs (i.e. the best guessed answer is is the 1100's, and got 73% while 671-680 got 5.9%).

	After looking at some of the commonly guessed ones, it seems having titles like "He", "Don't", and "Love" will get your ten-some guessed a lot, presumably from people looking for other songs.

	The rankings seem a bit bizarre. I've seen in a dozen other sites that Elton's "Candle In The Wind '97" is the biggest selling song of all time, followed by "White Christmas".

	NOTES: Songs are ranked based on contemporary chart performance on the Billboard Hot 100. My own opinion of the songs have no effect on the ranking. To create this list, I took every top 10 song from the dawn of the rock era in 1955 through the end of 2009 and used a formula to determine a ranking based on several factors: highest position on the charts, length of time at the top, and weeks in the top 10, top 40 and the chart. I then balanced the values for songs based on the average score for all songs in the year of release. My initial formula was based on an attempt to approximate the ranking of songs in Fred Bronson's Hottest Hot 100 Songs, but the actual list is very different, since his list does not account for the change in the speed of chart turnover in different eras. For example, in the 1960's the average #1 song spent only 10 weeks in the top 40. By the last decade, that number was closer to 30 weeks in the top 40 for #1 songs. Without that balancing the top of the list would have been dominated by hits of the last 10 years and early 1950s. This way is a lot more equitable. Actual formula used to set points used to derive ranking: (11 - Highest position)^2 * (Weeks at high pos / Square root (High pos)) + (25 * Weeks in top 10) + (15 * Weeks in top 40) + (10 * Weeks on Hot 100). The above value (Raw points) is used to determine the Average Raw points for all songs charted in the same year. The final figure used for ranking is: Raw Points for song / Average raw points for all songs in the same year.

	Quizzes like this make me realize there is a big difference between music I like and music that is popular. I typed in maybe 20 I thought would be sure things, but didn't appear.

	@Quent: This list is not based on sales, but on Hot 100 chart performance. See NOTES above. Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" had its biggest chart and sales impact before the rock era (1955) began.

	@statto2: I believe you. I guess you could say I have "Faith". (3 people are now groaning and the rest are thinking "Huh?")
