Rock and Roll Trivia Question: Most Played Song in the 20th Century (Radio + Television)? UPDATE: MountainTux NLI got it!
Question: What was the most played song on radio and television in the 20th century?

Don't cheat, it's not as fun!

Green karma to the first registered member with the correct answer -- if an AC gets it, they will receive a special custom meme from me, in lieu of karma =)

Good luck!

Amazing song... Fleetwood Mac's version and the Allman Brothers song, but unfortunately no.


Great tries though, people! Keep going, someone will get this!

Classic tune, makes me miss the Reagan years, for sure.

But unfortunately, not the most played song of the 20th century

Ok, you say rock & Roll, but is that misleading?

Because I know the authors of the NL theme also wrote for a LOT of people, like the Righteous Brothers.

You've lost that loving feeling?

HINT #3: When released, it was one of the longest pop songs to ever be released as a Billboard single... The producer (initials P.S. <-- HINT #4) actually doctored the album time-stamps so that DJs would play the record, because it ran so long...
