msc 18,434 Posted January 20, 2012 This is a good omen for people who believe in omens. The five times since 2003 that the Number 1 pick has been a hit has produced 12/50 at worst. There's a lot of low hanging fruit on this years list looking nervously over their shoulder, and that's not counting the random old folk like Michael Gough who just decided to snuff it randomly each year.

Phantom 2,531 Posted January 21, 2012 You can always check out these versions of "At Last" on Billboard's website. The last version is done by some chap called Low Rawls. Would have thought the people at Billboard would have taken consideration to spell performers' names correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
