Just kind of felt like marking the new decade with a look at the #1 songs of the past in the first week of January of each one. ;)

The #1 song(s) this week :

2010 - Tik Tok by Ke$ha ( Who???!! ) LOL! ( Just one of those kids born in 1987....just as I was ending high school! ) :eek:

10 years ago = "Smooth"- Santana & Rob Thomas

20 years ago = "Another Day In Paradise" - Phil Collins

30 years ago = "Escape (Pina Colada Song)" -Rupert Holmes
( Went back to #1 for it's third week by knocking out "Please Don't Go" by KC & The Sunshine Band , the actual 1st #1 hit of the 80s. )

40 years ago = "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" - BJ Thomas

I like the title of the 1900 song. Pretty funny guy that Arthur Collins must have been.
