While the above list correctly matches the Billboard listings, it is virtually certain that Billboard mistakenly listed "When I Die" by Motherlode at #71. That song peaked at #17. But the very similarly named "And When I Die" by Blood Sweat & Tears, also released in the period covered by these charts, peaked at #2 and is not listed at all on this list.
