5 seconds of every No. 1 pop song all in one spot

File this under weird and unneccesary but nonetheless engaging: "Five Seconds of Every #1 Pop Single."

Yep, it's an audio string of five-second snippets of chart-topping pop singles from the 1950s on. A SoundCloud user who goes by the handle mjs538 laboriously pieced together hundreds of audio files totaling more than 70 minutes. That is a ton of work. 

I can't say it makes for long-form listening but it's fun to hear how song styles change and how many one-hit wonders have come and gone over the years. Can you say C.W. McCall?
