• 7 Longest Climbs to No. 1 on Hot 100: John Legend, Creed and More Took Months to Get to Top

    The classic charity anthem "We Are The World" reached no. 1 on this date 30 years ago, but it was far from when the single debuted: It took more than three months for the song—which featured Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Lionel Richie and many more—to climb up to the no. 1 spot. That's far from the longest a single has had to wait before it arrived at no. 1 on the Hot 100 however. John Legend, Creed and UB40 know a thing or two about waiting.
