The 100th #1 Milestone

Me not posting anything about last week's chart was crazy, and even though tomorrow's Chart Post Day, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk about this week's #1, because there's a lot going on with it: For a start, it ends Lykke Li's consecutive 6-week reign on the Songs Chart; it's the first chart-topper by an American band since Kings Of Leon's Radioactive from October of last year; it marks the band's return to the top, just a little over a year later, since Word Forward spent 3 weeks at #1; along with the aforementioned title and Best Of You, this one becomes their third #1 song so far; and last, but definitely not least, it becomes the 100th #1 in the history of this chart! What song am I talking about? Well, it's none other than Bridge Burning, the opening track from the Foo Fighters' latest studio release, Wasting Light.

One hundred number one songs is way more than I ever expected considering I started with a much more reduced Top 10 version of my favorite songs. That was about 6 and a half years ago. Who would've thought I'd be this consistent?! If you wanna go back in time, get some of that nostalgia and, why not, be shocked, here's a rundown of The TMJ Charts' history of Number One songs, in reverse chronological order:
