Top Pop Songs of All-Time

We have added 1955 to The Top Pop Songs of All-Time - the year that many believe started the era of rock and pop music. This will be the earliest year our cumulative chart will include - and our goal now is to continue to expand the chart beyond # 500.
With the addition of 1955 we see that Perez Prado claims the # 2 spot with "Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White" and the song that many believe symbolizes the beginning of the rock era, Bill Haley's "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" comes in at # 12. Additional artists with hits from 1955 making the rankings include Roger Williams, Four Lads, Tennesee Ernie Ford, Mitch Miller, Bill Hayes, Four Aces, McGuire Sisters, Pat Boone, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra.
Also, songs from 2011 finishing their chart run have been ranked and include "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera coming in at # 93 and "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People at # 477.

2011: Top Song and Top Pop Artist

The year-end tabulations of songs that have peaked on The ARC Weekly Top 40 in 2011 have resulted in the Top Pop Songs of 2011. Adele leads the list with "Rolling In The Deep" commanding the top spot. Several songs are still charting, and final rankings are determined when a chart run has ended. Currently the # 2 ("Moves Like Jagger"), #3 ("We Found Love"), and #4 ("Someone Like You") songs are still charting but likely to remain in the year-end Top 5, but not take over the top spot.

The rankings for the Top 100 Pop Artists of 2011 are final (because the rankings only include chart appearances from January 1 to December 31st) - and Rihanna has garnished enough points during the year to not only rank her the #1 Female Artist of the Year, but the Top Pop Artist of the Year. Bruno Mars came in at #2, but is the #1 Male Artist of the Year. LMFAO comes in as the #1 Group/Duo of the Year.
