Sorry, but no major surprises there. Maybe a couple of minor ones (Zeppelin, Springsteen) but we aren't talking "singles" artists here. Might as well ask someone what Chuck Berry's only #1 song was. I'm sure you know it.

I don't know why I know stuff like that, but I do. It's a shame that his #1 was that one. I've been reading his autobiography off and on, between other books. He wrote it himself, he says. No ghost for Chuck.

Springsteen wrote "Blinded by the Light" which was a number one for Manfred Mann. I'm not sure, but I think Peter, Paul, and Mary's version of Dylan's. "Blowing in the Wind" might have gone to number one.

What Billboard calls #1 on it's list, and what the #1 selling single was in different parts of the country are often not the same. EG the Beach Boys had more #1 songs in California than nationally. The same kind of thing may be true with these.
