They weren't overtaken by the Macarena duo?Have they never hit the Hot 100 since? How many weeks was "Macarena" #1 ? Mainly I was criticizing VH-1, since Z&E wasn't even mentioned in their top 100 OHWs countdown -- god forbid the target demo should hear something, y'know, OLD.

I don't think that counts as a second hit, but YMMV. Point taken and agreed on VH1's incompleteness, though.

Z&E were #1 one time he did it, the other time it was Joan Weber's "Let Me Go Lover". I wish they'd throw some of his specials into the syndicated mix -- hoping for a Xmas Countdown next week, for example.
