Eleven #11 Hits, Ranked

<p>We decided NOT to write a book about all the pop songs that &quot;only&quot; (or...&quot;somehow&quot;) hit #11 on the <em>Billboard</em> charts...but you wouldn't know it from our voluminous notes on the 11 Number 11s we <em>did</em> decide to contemplate, including Stevie Nicks, Stephen Bishop, Dead or Alive, Heart, Digital Underground, T. Swift, the Thompson Twins, the KLF (with Tammy Wynette), Gloria Estefan, Crystal Waters, and the Beatles. Surprisingly bad vocals, appealing audacity, <em>Citizen Kane</em>, confused NuRo image systems, hangover takes, and stage names on the birth certificate -- come with us on a journey that ends juuuuuust short of the chart's promised land.</p> <p>Our intro is by Laura Barger and Jack Baldelli, and our outro is by I'm With Her.
