These forty songs managed to squeak in at the lowest rung. Most of them hung around for a single week, but two stayed for longer than a couple weeks. I can now finally answer the question I had long wondered about: after seventeen and a half years of chart-making, how many songs entered my chart? A grand total of 1163 songs appeared on my Top Ten Singles chart.
