Previously with Fake Love they got Number 10 and Idol Number 11 but this was without virtually any radio airplay. This comeback is looking like they are going to get a heavy radio push judging by a lot of radio station tweets I have seen. So will this be enough to get Number 1? Also what other artists US do they have to compete with this week?
#46 Eddie Van Halen - Hot for Teacher solo https://youtu.be/CwHdIzph0rs
Hello again all! Hope you are all well. Nice to get back at some Van Halen again. My teenage guitar god. Bit of a long rant at the end of this one and it's mostly about me, haha, so you can stick around if you like and check it out, or not. It's just a bit about what EVH means to me personally as a guitar player and soloist.
Thanks as always for the kind words and checking out my progress through this list. We're getting there. It's be another year I suppose before I'm done at this rate. Hope you stick with me and enjoy it.
Cheers, KDA

Over the last year and a half, and I noticed ... some stuff.
Over the process of listening I made a word document with Top 10's for every years and then the decades. Unfortunately that document crashed, and all I have left up until 1980 for the yearly lists.
Some weird stuff I noticed:
There was a Japanese language hit in 1963 Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto
28 and 29 on the year end list in 1985 were songs called Loverboy and Lovergirl
In the late 40's and early 50's it was pretty common for multiple versions of the same song on the year end Billboard Top 40
I'm not sure how interesting any of this stuff to people other than me, but it exists

Ten years.
It's been ten years since Barack Obama was first inaugurated, ten years since the death of Michael Jackson, ten years since the premiere of Glee and RuPaul's Drag Race, and other iconic events from the 2000s now stand as even older than ten years. As we approach the end of the 2010s, it's a good time to reflect on good ol' 2009, which I'm sure many can hardly believe was ten years ago. Did we mention that?
For your hosts, we have simultaneously gay and straight icon /u/ImADudeDuh and me, the guy who made this. This month, we're rating the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Songs of 2009, a year which was likely a part of many popheads' childhoods, unless you're like 15 in which case don't stay up too late for this rate, or you might miss your bedtime! This rate is a successor to the amazing Billboard 2012 rate hosted by the lovely /u/Nerdy_boy_chris just two years ago (and check out those mostly correct results). I hope you all have as muc fun doing this rate and getting wistful and nostalgic as we did doing the 2012 rate!
#Pop Music's #TenYearChallenge
The throwback trend that is the #TenYearChallenge has served as a convenient way to remember 2009. Observe how careers such as that of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kanye West, and Katy Perry have changed for better or for much worse since then. To honor this very well-timed trend, your lovely host /u/ImADudeDuh made a video commemorating how much some of our favorite pop stars have changed since the late 2000s, featuring artists and songs from this very rate!
#Watch it here.
-
Listen to each song and assign each one a score between 1 and 10. Decimals are fine, but it can only be to 1 decimal place (7.5 is fine, 7.2 is fine, 7.58 is not).
-
You may give ONE song a 0 and ONE song an 11. Please reserve these ratings for your least favorite and most favorite tracks, respectively. You may not give your 0 or 11 to the bonus track.
-
You must listen to and score EVERY song in the main rate. Check to make sure you've scored everything.
-
Your scores and comments should NOT be considered confidential.
Welcome to the E.N.D. back to 2009, or specifically, the 2009 rate.
Weβll reveal all the way from #75-51 starting at 6:00 PM EST. Come join us in the plug.dj to listen along and maybe enjoy the songs that arenβt bad enough for Day 1, but not good enough for the slaughter that is Day 3. Many robberies abound, but you already knew that since itβs /r/popheads.
