\u00a0Probably not, but I&#8217;m going with it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230;and once I determine the winner for a given year, I will feature that artist&#8217;s #1 song (or songs) on that Music Friday.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Billboard_Hot_100_number_ones_of_1965\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1965 Billboard Hot 100<\/a>. \u00a0<strong>Winner: \u00a0The Beatles<\/strong> with five #1&#8217;s &#8211; <em>I Feel Fine, Eight Days a Week, Ticket to Ride, Help!<\/em> and <em>Yesterday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Runners up were The Supremes with four #1&#8217;s. \u00a0The only other groups with multiple #1&#8217;s were The Rolling Stones and Herman&#8217;s Hermits with two apiece.<\/p>\n<p>So Here are the Beatle&#8217;s #1 songs from 1965. \u00a0Since I just featured Eight Days a Week last Friday, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1754\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this link<\/a> for that song. \u00a0The others follow now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xLBVgnZyuic?si=OUZyjRfvbiM6_hGo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wXTJBr9tt8Q?si=nk0ZUA_hHtlW-OPV\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SyNt5zm3U_M?si=RGm5QT2IXCrlIIEX\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zF9LIJIoe8U?si=mBUl6Pn_y_EZOTh8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Next week &#8211; 1966! \u00a0See ya!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet I have decided to embark on a journey of discovery to determine my Peak Music year, which you may remember me discussing in an earlier post, &#8220;What Does My Taste In Music Say About Me?&#8221; Initially I was at a loss as to how&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","category-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1801"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2400,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1801\/revisions\/2400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
