Billboard has begun announcing their list of the Top 100 Songs of All Time, using the Billboard Hot 100 chart as the basis.
On Monday, Billboard published the songs that ranked No. 100 - 91, including numerous newer artists in addition to all time favorites.
The two newest acts to rank on the list so far are pop-rock band Maroon 5 and alternative rock band fun. Maroon 5's No. 1 single One More Night came in at No. 97 on the All-Time chart. The song spent nine consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2012, which Billbord noted was able to prevent PSY's Gangnam Style from hitting No. 1.
We Are Young, the smash hit single from fun. came in at No. 99 on the All-Time chart. The song, which features R&B artist Janelle Monae, stayed in the No. 1 position for six weeks in 2012.
Usher came in at No. 100 on the list with his hit You Make Me Wanna... from 1997. The R&B singer, who just wrapped production as a judge on season 4 of The Voice, actually peaked at No. 2 for his 1997 hit but it stayed on the Hot 100 chart for 47 weeks.
Before he went by the name Diddy, Sean Combs charted a huge hit in 1997 with I'll Be Missing You featuring Faith Evans and 112. Known as Puff Daddy at the time, the rapper sampled The Police's Every Breath You Take on I'll Be Missing You and managed to stay in the No. 1 position for 11 weeks.
The other songs featured in the first wave of songs announced from the All-Time chart included such classics as Killing Me Softly With His Song by Roberta Flack (No. 92), Are You Lonesome Tonight by Elvis Presley (No. 91) and Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head by B.J. Thomas (No. 95).
