SOYOUWANNA THE TOP TEN MUSIC SINGLES OF ALL TIME

2. SINGLES 7 - 5

7. Hound Dog/Don't be Cruel

Artist: Elvis Presley
Year released: 1956
Copies sold: 9 million

You knew Elvis would be on this list somewhere, right? This single seems like somewhat of a bargain, offering two famous crowd-pleasers in one.

6. I Will Always Love You

Artist: Whitney Houston
Year released: 1992
Copies sold: 10 million

It was hard to turn on the radio in 1992 (and 1993, and 1994 . . .) without hearing this Whitney Houston gem, originally written and performed by none other than well-endowed country superstar Dolly Parton. The Grammy-winning smash was the theme song to The Bodyguard, a movie which paired Houston and the then-famous Kevin Costner.

5. Hey Jude

Artist: The Beatles
Year released: 1968
Copies sold: 10 million

Although it wasn't conducive to the format of popular radio (read: it was really, really long) this song managed to please listeners everywhere with its gentle musings and endless stream of "Nah nah nah nahs." On the "betcha-didn't-know" front, Paul McCartney wrote the song for John Lennon's son Julian, who was upset over his dad's budding relationship with Yoko Ono. The original title? "Hey Jules."
