June 12, 201016 yr Elvis Presley has 104 Top 40 hits. Who is a distant second? Dark Horse candidate: Elton John
June 12, 201016 yr Dark Horse candidate: Elton John Elton is correct with 56. Followed by The Beatles (51), Madonna (48), and Stevie Wonder (45).
June 12, 201016 yr Elton is correct with 56. Followed by The Beatles (51), Madonna (48), and Stevie Wonder (45). One of those examples where The Beatles' lack of longevity worked against them, and a good guess on my part. Here's a bone for all you Skynyrd fans: What are/What is the significance of "The Swampers?"

They are the Muscle Shoals Rythym Section, a group of studio musicians, that are referred to in "Sweet Home Alabama".
June 12, 201016 yr They are the Muscle Shoals Rythym Section, a group of studio musicians, that are referred to in "Sweet Home Alabama". And adding to that, Muscle Shoals is where they did a lot of early studio work and produced many of their biggest hits. Their time there is what brought about that song "Sweet Home Alabama". Sadly, there are many people out there that have no idea Skynyrd is from Florida.

If you're a fan of Drive-By Truckers (the nearest thing to Skynyrd that's out today making music), you're familiar with the song "Three Great Alabama Icons," which addresses this. Those icons, of course, being Bear Bryant, George Wallace and Ronnie Van Zant.

I always thought they were from Jacksonville,FL?
June 12, 201016 yr They are the Muscle Shoals Rythym Section, a group of studio musicians, that are referred to in "Sweet Home Alabama". I believe artists will still go to Muscle Shoals to record.
June 13, 201016 yr I always thought they were from Jacksonville,FL? They are. What I said was you would be surprised at the amount of people who do not know they are from Florida all because of that song about Alabama.

Most music that comes out today is garbage.
