  1. Alternate List of Billboard#1 Hits

    The cultural version of the "List of Presidents" thread, this thread follows the Billboard charts from week to week from December 15th, 1973 to December 14th, 2013, displaying the #1 song in America. We'll start with the historical #1, "The Most Beautiful Girl" by Charlie Rich, from that point...

  3. Anyone but Paladino, New York 2010

    In 2010, the GOP primary boiled down to two candidates. Rick Lazio, most well known for losing a high profile race to Hilary Clinton in 2000 in a not so graceful race. His competitor was Carl Paladino, a Buffalo area business man who managed to win the primary by getting the west of the state...

  4. WI "The Detroit Sound"

    In the early 2000s, rock was struggling to deal with the decline of grunge. This eventually lead to post-grunge and the temporary "death" of rock, at least in the mainstream. However, in the late 90s and especially the early 2000s, "garage rock" acts like The White Stripes, Electric Six, The...

  5. AH Challenge: Get a rock song to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 between 2008 and 2012

    In 2008, Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" (one of the worst songs ever made, in my opinion) reached #1 in the United States. From that point on there was not a rock song in the #1 slot until fun.'s "We Are Young" (Which I consider even worse) in 2012. Your challenge is to get a rock song to #1 in...

  6. "Bad, but not too bad" historical figures for an AH project

    It's coming down to final projects and such for a lot of my classes (hence why my timeline suddenly slowed down). One of my classes has a very peculiar final: I have to pitch a film. Now, I'm putting a ton of effort into this because two people have gotten something out of this project (one...

  7. WI: Reservoir Dogs video game is a smash hit

    In 2006, a game based on the movie Reservoir Dogs was released. Most consider it mediocre or just decent. But what if the game is a smash hit? This can be accomplished by another company picking it up or just by Lionsgate and Eidos pouring more effort into it. Could this see a Pulp Fiction...

  8. Black This Out- A Ron Paul 2012 Timeline

    Perry is in... August 9th, 2011 drudgereport.com ~ “Rick Perry has confirmed today he will be running for president. Many were expecting him to announce on the day of the Ames Iowa Straw Poll, but it seems his campaign decided it'd be better for him to announce today. He asked for those...

  9. AH Challenge: US Election where all the major candidates have the same first name

    Your challenge is any time in the modern era to have an election where both the presidential and vice presidential nominees of both parties all have the same first name. Bonus points if you can inflict this on minor parties too.

  10. WI: CBS becomes the "superhero network"?

    While on TVTropes the other day, I found this little tidbit from the "Screwed by the Network" page. What if instead of running away from the idea, they embraced it instead?

  11. The Rise of the Nerd

    In 1984, Tim Burton was nearly fired from Disney for his short film Frankenweenie. In hindsight it was an incredibly risky move as it was a very dark story from the company that told the stories of princesses and talking animals. However, someone higher up saw that Burton had a lot of creativity...

  12. Custom President Forever scenarios

    After playing the scenario based on A Giant Sucking Sound I figured why not create a central thread for scenarios. Here is a 2016 mod that I've been working on for a little bit. Still a work in progress, more to be added. Anyone else have any cool custom scenarios?

  13. Controlled Chaos 2008 Democrat Primaries, who would you vote for?

    Poll incoming. Next update is going to propel things into late October so I'd like to know who the favorites are, so when things heat up I can be sure to show what's going on with them. I'm also genuinely interested in who people would vote for. Poll with Republican candidates will follow.

  14. Who would challenge Gore in 2004?

    I'm making a scenario in Campaigns Forever. Let's say Gore wins in 2000, 9/11 and Afghanistan still happens, and there is a lot tension with Iraq but no war at the time of the election. Who would run? I already have: John McCain George Pataki Olympia Snowe Gary Johnson Not so sure on Snowe...

  15. AH Challenge: Libertarian News Network

    Reading my daily Facebook update from Ron Paul and Black THIS Out, Ron Paul supporters announced they were "blacking out" the mainstream media by getting their South Carolina results from a live stream from the Revolution superPAC, this got me thinking, what if there was a libertarian leaning...

  16. WI: Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders in opposite senate seats?

    What if Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy were up for re-election at the opposite times, with Sanders up for election in 2010 at the height of tea party fever, taking down an honest to God (democratic) socialist would be a great goal for the movement. This would mean that Leahy would be up for...

  17. AH Tropes you want to see more of

    Put quite simply, things you want to see more of in timelines. For me, I'll start off with one: Al Gore, Movie Star: I've seen plenty of timelines where people go into politics who did not do so in our timeline (and don't get me wrong, I really like those timelines) but I rarely see...

  18. Controlled Chaos, Part I: The election of 2008

    McCain Campaign Headquarters, Arlington, Virginia, June 17th, 2007 John was sitting on a small couch. He hands were clasped together and he was rubbing his thumbs, looking at the floor. Across from him was Tim Pawlenty, John had taken to calling him Timmy. Tim was holding on to a clip board...

  19. WI: Gore runs in '08

    Gingrich thread reminded me to ask this. What if the "Draft Gore" movement is successful, and Gore runs for President in 2008. Does he win the Democratic nomination? Who is his running mate? How would he fair against the possible Republican nominees (Don't automatically assume it's...
