- chicagojack, on 11/19/2008, -1/+15That is hard for CCR to have 5 #2's
- wrmjr, on 11/21/2008, -0/+9Apart from the CCR and Foreigner songs, the rest of the list is pretty much &@*%.
- sndchsr, on 11/21/2008, -0/+7You're right. He was sued for sounding too much like himself on his solo album.
- einrobstein, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5Does the Billboard chart have any relevance at all in this day and age? How do they even calculate that *****? If anything reaches the top 10 of the Billboard chart that tells you two things:
1. The music is watered down pablum unlistenable commercial *****.
2. A record company payed a ***** of a lot of money to get that ***** played on the radio and placement in record stores. - thefloss, on 11/21/2008, -0/+5CCR FTW.
- oldenburg06, on 11/19/2008, -0/+5I think Fogerty recently won the rights to play his songs again. I think he couldn't play them live, for a really long time.
(Maybe I'm wrong about that. Check it.) - cawpin, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3It's nice that billboard.com is trying to infect people with malware as well.
Here's the popup I just got when I went to the page.

I clicked cancel and it took me to a new page anyway. ***** you , Billboard. - CarStan, on 11/21/2008, -0/+3'And now, Avis Rent-A-Car is proud to present the second best band in America. Will you welcome Garfunkel, Messina, Oates, and Lisa Simpson singing their number two hit, "Born to Runner-up".'
- moothemagiccow, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2Wow, I never realized pop music sucked so much :P
- theadvinci, on 11/20/2008, -1/+3Only thing worse than getting into the top is never getting to be the number one.
- sonar1, on 11/21/2008, -0/+22nd place - "Of all the losers, you were the best"
- scottysmith, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Fogerty deserved a No1 hit, he is still absolutely awesome to this day
- Chrino, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2B. McKnight's "Back at ONE."
Oh the irony. - andejp12, on 11/21/2008, -0/+2I like the idea of the article but really it feels like it's incomplete as there should be a listing of the songs that were stuck at number two for each band that has multiple. They took the time to come up with a clever idea for an article, got the data together and then cut out the good pieces.
- ghuytro, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Blood Sweat and Tears is pretty ***** awesome
- vizeroth, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1The top 10 doesn't sell as well as it used to, but it still means that a lot of people went out and bought it. Besides, both of your points have been the case for an extremely long time.
- eSentrik, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Close but no cigar...
- oMeSSiaHo, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Why did they come to our concert just to boo?
- pyroglass, on 11/21/2008, -2/+3The first place chick is hot but has a bad attitude. Doesn't date magicians. Second place is someone weird usually, like a Chinese girl or a geologist. But third place, although a little bit plain, has super low self-esteem. So I step in and uh, lay her crown upon my sweet head
- AsgardsAvenger, on 11/21/2008, -1/+2I've had 5 #2's.... it kind of burns after the fourth one...
- burbankmarc, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1her?
- GrantMVP, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Donna Lewis is my jam. Yah i said that. On the internet nonetheless.
- jedinate, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Missy Elliot is pretty awful. I'm surprised she ever reached #2.
- oblivionatm, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Nice reference.
- TMTurtle, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Has the Billboard chart had any relevance at all ever?
Music is subjective. - daveruiz, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Arrested Development people, its a GOB quote.
- samimnot, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1"Waiting for a girl like you" was in 1981?
I really feel old now :-( - Poseur117, on 11/21/2008, -1/+1I wish it said what was number one instead of these songs.
- crater, on 11/21/2008, -2/+2Buried, tried to install the malware Antivirus 2009 when I clicked on the link
- nesagwa, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0The billboard charts dont really work that way.
- raibman, on 11/22/2008, -0/+0you make it sound like premature ejaculation experience :p "aaah. almost there.. 'slip' oh *****"
- milkmage, on 11/21/2008, -1/+1first place loser
- pendog, on 11/19/2008, -0/+0unjust!
- BxBoy, on 11/21/2008, -4/+2What does it take to be number one?
Two is not a winner and three nobody remembers (hey)
What does it take to be number one?
