From Memphis To Merseyside – Episode 155

Theme: Strange Chart Toppers

During the rock and roll era, a number of songs hit number one that were, well, kind of odd. No one could predict a Singing Nun would hit number one. This week, Tony Stuart and Aaron Badgley dive into these classics and talk about the oddities that reached the top of the charts.
