Notes....1970 saw the Jackson Five's very first hit land at number one. Little did we know what was to come...in '72, Don McLean's ode to the history of rock and roll was first played by radio stations in the short 3 1/2 minute version. Most programmers then didn't feel comfortable playing the full 8 minutes. Over the years, as the average length of a hit record went to 4 and even 5 minutes, the long version came to be the standard...
