What better way to celebrate 12-12-12 than by commemorating 12 beloved hits that peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100?
Considering their lasting appeal, it's perhaps surprising that the songs below fell shy of the chart's top 10. In fact, there are so many cherished No. 12 Hot 100 hits that a look at 12 doesn't seem enough. So, here is a timeline of 36 No. 12-peaking songs (one for each 12 in today's date).
In all, it sounds like a fun trip down memory lane ... dozen't it?
