note: I counted each Gin Blossoms song individually so my total is 31

Over the past couple of weeks I have looked at some Billboard charts and found it interesting at how they decide songs are combined or not. My examples:
In 1978 "We Are The Champions" by Queen made it to #4. This song is NEVER heard now without "We Will Rock You" proceeding it.
In 1979 "Bicycle Race/Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen was a double single. These songs are NEVER heard now as a pair together.

Why no mention for Wonder by Natalie Merchant? Maybe the best from her and 10,000 Maniacs combined. Awesome guitar work.

I am not familiar with the song -- at least by name. Will try to search it out on youtube later.

I put it as an ok. It was a good for me in the 90s but I find I don't go out of my way for it anymore
