Then and Now
Billboard Hits
Music was an important part of our years and today that music often brings back memories of friends and times in Athens. Well before our years, Billboard introduced its "Hit Parade" magazine with charts which tracked sales, jukebox selections and radio airplay of songs. Over the years Billboard published charts for different styles of music, but our music was the "top 40" and later the "top 100." Below are links to lists of our most popular tunes.
