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.
