I now proclaim December 5th as the Day of Death because it is the day with the most hits of all DeathLists: 5 hits on this date is a record! 05.12.2012 Oscar Niemeyer 05.12.2013 Nelson Mandela 05.12.2017 King Michael of Romania 05.12.2021 Bob Dole 05.12.2023 Norman Lear Sometimes there is an incorrect date of death on the front page, it is not always accurate, the following day is specified. Maybe the DeathList will set another record by achieving more than 20 hits in total... it seems to be having a good run right now. Keep it up!

Jimmy Carter

Hit No. 18, this is really superb!

@Mercarte Your deathlist could be at 18 hits if you had also concidered the death of your No. 4 pick Wanda Półtawska on 24.10.2023. http://dpseggi.altervista.org/DeathList/X2023.html

Glückwunsch!

I'm not a fan of the song but that's still a remarkable achievement. Well done, little Miss Dynamite!

Here at Kill or Save she is not that popular at all, but she is in the American charts right now: Brenda Lee’s "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree" tops the Hot 100, 65 years after its release! The song breaks the record for the longest wait from a song’s release – 65 years – to it hitting No. 1 on the Hot 100. It surpasses the 25-year gap between the release of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” in 1994 and its rise to No. 1 in 2019. What a pity that Mariah is already killed not saved There are many other interesting facts about this record breaking song, you can read it here: https://www.billboard.com/lists/brenda-lee-rockin-around-the-christmas-tree-number-one-hot-100/

The Swiss television journalist, director and author Corinne Pulver died on October 10, 2023 at the age of 96 - one day before the 94th birthday of her sister Lilo Pulver, our No. 3 on this year's D-A-CH list. Once again we chose the wrong sibling, see the Wepper brothers https://www.sueddeutsche.de/medien/corinne-pulver-tot-nachruf-pionierin-gestorben-fernsehen-1.6312438?reduced=true Fun fact: Corinne Pulver probably had an affair with Martin Walser, who was a hit for us in July, at the end of the 1950s.

Something is wrong, @Bibliogryphon

This is probably wishful thinking! I'm worried there won't be a change. In my opinion there would have been three sensible and legitimate candidates for the DL No.1 next year: Jimmy Carter, Shane MacGowan and Henry Kissinger. Two of them have already said goodbye, whether Carter will make it into the new year is very questionable. If he dies, Dick Van Dyke will probably just be left at No. 1. And that would be so indifferent, uncreative and unexciting, once again, meh!
