The Top 150 Hits of… 2015
“Uptown Funk” might be the biggest hit of all time.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hot 100
in 2008, Billboard published a list of the all-time biggest hits from Aug. 1958
to Aug. 2008. Their #1 was “The Twist” by Chubby Checker, which made two
entirely separate trips to #1 in 1960 (#6 for the year according to one source)
and 1962 (#1 for that year according to the same source). Number 2 of all time
was “Smooth” by Santana and Rob Thomas from 1999 to 2000. In my chart research
of all the years between 2000 and 2015, “Uptown Funk” is the only song to have
surpassed the point total of “Smooth” using my scale. Billboard’s all-time list
was updated five years later to include songs up to 2013. I hope that means we
can expect another update in 2018, because I really want to know where this one
lands!
