Twenty Years Ago: "Jump" by Kris Kross was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was #4, even though Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991. This may have been influenced by it's inclusion in the film Wayne's World, or Mercury's recent death.
Thirty Years Ago: "I Love Rock 'n Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The instrumental theme to the film Chariots of Fire, which recants the story of missionary and Olympic runner Eric Liddell, was #2. If that's not irony...
Elsewhere in the world... one year ago today, Osama bin Laden was located and killed in a raid in Pakistan, at the order of Commander in Chief Obama. Not that this has any musical significance.
