Who Will be Number 1?

A lot of times with the countdowns each year, people seem to think that the number 1 song is definitely going to be Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" when in fact that isn't always the case. It has however been number 1 on numerous occasions. Will it return to the number 1 spot this year? Who knows?

All we can tell you is that the number 1 song on the WPDH Memorial Day 500 seems to change up each year. I remember a some years back, the number 1 spot was held by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock n Roll". In previous years, even Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" held the number 1 spot, as has Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" and Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train".

Last year, the WPDH Memorial Day 500 saw Queen "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" take the number 1 spot.
