We're #100 ~ Day 2!

This week, the week of May 16-20, 2016, as approach blog post #100 we will look at songs that just cracked the Billboard Hot 100!

We call it:  "We're number 100!"

May 16, 2016

As I've already mentioned multiple times having a hit record is not easy.

Getting a record on the charts (whichever chart you choose) is not easy.

So just GETTING on the hot 100 is an accomplishment!

But ONLY getting to #100 and no higher might be a bit of let down.

As often happens sometimes international success does not create the same in the US.

Today's song went to #1 in five countries, top five in several more, and sold over a million copies...but only reach #100 in the US.

"Walkin' Back to Happiness" was Helen Shapiro's only appearance on the US charts despite multiple top five hits in the UK.
