We could actually do that. But after the 60s the No.2 songs should come first, that would be fair.

Tbf there is at least one No.1 of the 50s I really really enjoy, it's Mambo Italiano by Rosemary Clooney! What a bop!

In any case, I'm not very motivated to play a KoS from the 50s...

For me personally, this and the last round are the most boring and worst KoS rounds that we have had so far. I'll be glad when they're over. It can only get better!!!
