Three number ones in about a month? Let's not go overboard here
I'm thinking of posting a poll to determine the number of turns you have to wait in-between turns, what do you guys think?
I thought three was fine. Going over that might cause confusion, since posts are sometimes easy to miss.Three number ones in about a month? Let's not go overboard here

But someone WILL overdo it if I get rid of the rule. This isn't ideal but I think it's better that we have the rule.
Rory Storm and Iggy Pop found Reckless Records (1973)
Event: Rory Storm and Iggy Pop found their own record label Reckless Records. The label will generally cater to more underground anti-establishment type bands, but is generally open to anyone looking to get away from mainstream label antics. Rory Storm and Iggy Pop are obviously the first acts signed, both as solo artists. They have also signed Lou Reed, The New York Dolls and several lesser known gloom and metal bands. *

Oops. Mistake on my part and did not realize it. Can we retcon and say that the previous week #1 is the #1 song instead? Or should I just edit it myself.

I am away on vacay (phone no laptop) but when I get back, thinking about analyzing probabilities for runs, self-replace, etc. to make an optional chart ("1970-1975: roll d100, 0-57 last week, 58-97 new song, 98-00 new self-replace" etc.)
