Hits List: Rolling Stones

The most durable of all bands, the Rolling Stones are like the Energizer bunny.  They keep going...and going...and going...  Their percentage of Top 10 hits is not the best in the world (23 of 57) but their strength is in sheer volume.  Plus, they've had eight #1 songs.  In the U.K., the Stones have fared about the same--56 hits, with 22 Top 10's and eight #1's.


515368_Compact LCD Digital Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor - White Note:  The "Mainstream Rock" chart debuted in the United States in 1981.  Despite the name, this chart does not reflect the "mainstream" or the mass audience.  It is yet another segment which branched out from the main rock chart, just as we have Adult Contemporary.  So it is "mainstream" in name only.
