them any more. You can change that! Vote, suggest or complain

The People
Billboard Peak # 4. In My Bed - Dru Hill

Every song that made it to number 1,2 or 3 on the Billboard
Charts is on the PCM 1997 Most Requested Song List. Granted,
Candle In The Wind 1997 was the top song of the year,
and it is now #85, near the bottom of our list.
Today, you will hear the original 1988 version much more
often on the radio or public events, athough the 1997 version
sold possibly more singles than any other song, all collecting
dust in basements, attics and Princess Di memorial cabinets.
