Billboard names Chicago #6 Adult Contemporary Artist Ever.
Billboard celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Adult Contemporary chart (in the July 23 issue), and named Chicago the #6 AC act of all-time.
How The Chart Was Created:
The 50th anniversary Adult Contemporary top artists and songs charts are based on actual performance on the weekly Adult Contemporary chart since its inception in the July 17, 1961, issue of Billboard. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower rankings on the chart earning less. Due to various changes in chart rules, chart length and in methodology throughout the years - including the implementation in 1993 of monitored airplay data from Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems - songs had varying reigns at No. 1 and on the chart. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from all 50 years, earlier time frames were each weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.

AWESOME!!! Will someone show this to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?? Besides still hearing your music on the radio all the time, even Paul Shaeffer and his band play it when fading in and out of commercial breaks on the Late Show with David Letterman. Great music never gets old!!!
