I absolutely refuse to apologize for that headline.
Yesterday I noted that the Billboard number one song in the United States this week 20 years ago was All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo. Over on the Alternative chart, Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground, which had held the top spot since back in 1997, was finally bumped by a newcomer. The Way by Fastball took the number one position for the first of seven consecutive weeks.
This is definitely a landmark of the time, but unlike Marcy Playground, whose fun little quirky hit I enjoyed, I actually became a fan of Fastball.
