Tommy E, no contest. IAITG is a wonderful oldie.

Tommy E over whatever emasculated garbage Bruno Mars is doing at any given moment. He disgusts me.

Dammit. I thought Just The Way You Are would be the Billy Joel tune.

I’m surprised there’s no Joel in the list.

LV do you know what criteria Billboard used to compile this list?

From the article:
Methodology: The Greatest of All-Time 60th Anniversary Billboard Hot 100 Songs and Artists rankings are based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 (from its inception on Aug. 4, 1958, through July 21, 2018). Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods. Artists are ranked based on a formula blending performance, as outlined above, of all of their Hot 100 chart entries.

Other artists I’m surprised have no entries:

Bruce Springsteen
Madonna
Taylor Swift
Eminem

If the list didn’t stop at 2018, “Old Town Road” would certainly be here.

That is, indeed, surprising.

Bruno Mars is very talented. Don't sit at home listening to his songs, but in the pop stratosphere, he's a top guy. Gets my vote here.

I can’t believe people are voting for that milquetoast Mars song over a Stone Cold Classic like It’s All in the Game :shake:
