	The band from 1954 is Bill Haley & His Comets. No bull. On the Style page, reduce the last column to 10% of the column width, then split Artist & Song 45%/45%.

	One further note: Neither Bee Gees nor Eagles use "The" in their names. Flawed but interesting list. The 2007 track? I don't think so! Madonna & Led Zeppelin listed twice but no Beatles or Elton John? Difficult to believe. And a list from BING that goes back to the 1940's but doesn't include Bing Crosby? Ironic. Last style suggestion. Change the text on the answers to white, not black.

	FYI: The 1951 Dominoes & the 1970 Dominoes are not the same act.

	How **** has everything been since 1991?

	@cantbuymelunch Hell yeah. Music died with Kurt Cobain.

	Are these supposed to be the most popular songs of each year? Or the BING employees' picks for the "best" song of each year? Or the songs that they feel best summed up each year musically? If they're claiming that these were the most popular songs of each year, I think they're full of it. They're looking at the older stuff in hindsight, which is fine if you're ranking the songs by how influential they turned out to be - but that has nothing to do with how popular they were when they were released. That's one reason why the newer songs on the list are so much worse than the old ones. From 1990 or so and on, they chose the song that was really the most heavily purchased and played in the year it was released (and sometime's the public's taste sucks, as evidenced by Daniel Powder.) With the older songs, though, they're choosing songs that are now considered legendary, instead of choosing the ones that were really the most popular, which were often lightweight bubblegum pop songs. (Sound familiar?) For example - as much as the Woodstock generation would probably like to believe that Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love was the most popular song of 1969, Billboard says that the most popular song that year was actually "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies.

	I'm really surprised that Bartender was the top song of '07 as opposed to, say, Buy U a Drank (also by T-Pain).

	Obviously not your fault, but a list like this that doesn't include a single Beatles song is a joke. Fun quiz though.

	@Fidelio: I agree, the list seems arbitrary at best. For example, it's likely that the 4 oldest songs on the list got absolutely zero airplay on most radio stations. Guthrie would have got none at all, Williams was only a hit on country radio, and Harris & Domino were "race" acts, as they were called back then, and certainly wouldn't have been heard on any white stations. And on the other end, "Bartender" wasn't even T-Pain's biggest hit that year. It went to #5 on the Hot 100, #9 on the Rap charts. I can only assume they picked that song out of a hat.

	If it weren't for T-Pain, I would have gotten every one back to 1954. Thanks a lot, jerk.

	Clearly BING has done what most people who bitch about modern music do--all of the modern songs were big chart hits, but for the older songs, chart results are irrelevant and they instead tried to pick the best song. Hence the presence of a Led Zeppelin song that wasn't even released as a single.

	There is a source for this, the BING app clearly states that it's source is nuTsie. So, nice job not giving credit where credit is due.

	i agree with cantbuymelunch. but anyway good quiz and everyone shut up about the beatles, boo hoo they weren't on one list their whole lives
