OK, I've kept you all waiting long enough. Congrats to Paul Dec, who guessed correctly! The #1 song of the past 38 years (at least, by my extremely painstaking calculations) is ...
(drum roll, please) ...
"Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas.
It was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 12 weeks, straddling the years 1999-2000. It spent 58 weeks on the chart. It was huge. And I'm happy to say it's a song I actually love.
That is not what I would have guessed, but it is a great song! What an awesome list.
