Billboard Top 100 Countdown, LIST: Songs by Bruno Mars, Nelly Among Classics in Third Group Announced [VIDEOS]
Billboard announced No. 80-71 on their list of the Top 100 Songs of All Time on Wednesday, using the Billboard Hot 100 chart as the basis.
After publishing No. 100-91 Monday and No. 90-81 Tuesday, the music charting company announced the songs that charted No. 80-71 since the Hot 100 began in 1958.
Bruno Mars came in at No. 74 on the list with his debut single, Just the Way You Are. The song was Mars' first to top the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist after featuring on B.o.B.'s No. 1 song Nothin' On You. Just the Way You Are stayed at No. 1 for four weeks in 2010.
Nelly's smash hit single Dilemma came in at No. 75 on the all-time list, having spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2002. The song, which featured guest vocals by Kelly Rowland, replaced Nelly's other hit song of 2002, Hot in Herre, at the top of the chart. Nelly became the fifth artist to achieve the feat of replacing one song with another at the top of the chart, after The Beatles, Boyz II Men, Puff Daddy and Ja Rule.
Country superstar Shania Twain came in at No. 77 with her crossover single You're Still the One. The 1998 song never hit the top of the Hot 100 chart but peaked at No. 2 with 42 weeks on the chart.
Two disco legends appeared within this grouping of songs: Diana Ross and Donna Summer. Ross came it at No. 72 for her hit Upside Down, which spent four weeks at the top of the Hot 100 in 1980. Summer came in at No. 78 for Hot Stuff, which stayed at the top for three weeks in 1979.
