Top 10  No.1 Songs For The Longest Time

7 “Physical” – Olivia Newton-John (10 weeks)

November 21, 1981, was the date that “Physical” hit number 1. Olivia’s actual self-image was less modest than the one in the song. She was concerned about how her image would be perceived. The song was recorded by Olivia’s managers, who knew that it would be a huge hit.

Radio stations in conservative communities were reluctant to play the song due to its explicit sexual content. However, it only made the song more popular.
