their Billboard Hot 100 chart with weeks a song spent
at number one earning the greatest value,
and weeks at number 10 earning the least.
So we're gonna hand you this. - Oh, okay.
- I have to keep track of my answers?

it goes in the top 10. - Will I get the name

Awesome. - I'm gonna have to make
some switches, obviously. Okay, 'cause "Hey Jude"
is gonna be up higher than 10. - That's a good number one for me.
- I place 'em at number seven, 'cause you didn't tell me
what you were gonna play, and I was running out of places.
- (FBE) So now that you've watched through all these,
we're gonna give you a chance to make changes.
- Okay. I tell you, I'm pretty happy with the way it is.
- Elvis is my favorite, so number one. (chuckles)
- I'll make Elvis number one.
- Okay, that's it.
- I spent 40 years in the music business,
and I'm not sure I'm right.
- (FBE) All right, so the real list is...
- (sighs) - (FBE) Number 10...
- Okay. - "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"
by Elvis Presley. - Really?
- I don't believe it. - Oh, really?
That is a big surprise. I put it as number one.
(buzzer) - For me, my number one.
Maybe it depends who your boyfriend was.
- (FBE) Number nine is "I Heard it Through the Grapevine"
by Marvin Gaye. - Baloney.
- I have it as number eight. - "Grapevine," I did eight.
That's not bad. - "Grapevine," yes. I got it right.
- (FBE) Number eight...
is "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies.
- I had it at number nine. - Well, I had it at nine.
- I have it at number six. (laughs) I don't have any right so far.
(ding) - Oh, yay!
And I was gonna move it up, and then I ended up not. Yay.
- (FBE) Number seven is "Aquarius" by the 5th Dimension.
- Exact. - Oh, at least it's close.
Mine was six. - I had it at five, yes. So close.
But this isn't horseshoes, is it?
- (FBE) Number six was "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees.
- Oh, I had it at number eight. - I had it at eight.
- I had that at four both times. At least I didn't make it wrong.
(ding) - Bingo. I got one.
- (FBE) Number fix is "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
by the Beatles. - God, I can't believe that.
(buzzer) - I have it as number one.
- Number four. Ain't that something? I'm so close on each one.
(buzzer) - It's close. I'm number four.
(ding) - I got it right!
- (FBE) Number four was "Tossin' and Turnin'"
by Bobby Lewis. - Really?
- I put it at 10, so I'm surprised.
- I don't remember anywhere that played that song.
- Billboard, they can stick it where the sun don't shine at.
That is not right. - (FBE) Number three was the theme
from "A Summer Place" by Percy Faith and his orchestra.
- Really? Wow.
- No. Never.
- Huh. I had it at number nine.
- Really? It did that well. I have it at number 10. (chuckles)
- Eight. Wow, I should've made it higher.
- (FBE) Number two was "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.
- I had it at number five.
- Well, at least I got that one right.
- I got one. What do you know?
- Yay! I got another one right, woo!
- (FBE) And finally, number one is "The Twist" by Chubby Checker.
- Oh, damn. - I had it at number one
and changed it. - I knew that song was
very popular worldwide, because of the dance.
- And "The Twist" was number one? Wow. I guess it was very popular.
I remember. - I'm not surprised,
even though I had it at six, because it was so popular,
and everybody did love it, and everybody danced that twist.
- The music that I heard in the '60s, it made me...
Some music really made me feel romantic,
and some made me feel wild. That's how it impacted my life.
That's why I got married at 15. Mm.
