LIVE' LONG AND PROSPEROUS: The president of the Unit- ed States was still Bill Clinton, the movie Titanic hadn't yet opened in theaters, and Who Wants to Bea Millionaire hadn't aired in America. The date was June 21, 1997. That's when "How Do I Live" (Curb) by LeAnn Rimes debuted on the Top Country Singles Sales chart, and this issue marks the single's 300th week on the tally. It's the longest run for a title on any singles sales chart in Billboard. While "Live" holds firm at No. 8, Rimes is also No. 6 with "Can't Fight the Moonlight," which is in its 136th week on the chart. Rimes has had nine singles enter Top Country Singles Sales, and they have remained on the survey for a cumulative 747 weeks. Rimes has been represented on this He's The Greatest chart a little less than seven years, going back to the week of June 22, 1996, when `Blue" first appeared.

Counting from Sept. 21, 1959, when the Isley Brothers made their first Aibrights Do All Right With 'Sweet' Life chart appearance with "Shout -Part 1," that span is now stretched to 43 years, six months, and two weeks. Sometimes the road blocks that poundcake flavors (such as sweet life throws in your path can be potato, lemon poppy seed, and KEY WORD IS 'SLIDE': "Landslide" (Monument) turns out turned into new avenues: Just butter rum), not to mention to be a prophetic title for Dixie Chicks.
