<p>I take umbrage with this:</p>

<p>And has <a href="http://www.billboard.com/#/" target="_blank">Billboard</a> never heard of &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM3fEJyPrrg" target="_blank">White Houses</a>?&#8221;  That song only went all the way to #1 in China.  And here I thought Billboard was supposed to be the authority on music.  Guess I was wrong.  Guess it&#8217;s China.</p>
<p>Evidently Billboard wasn&#8217;t in my car when we rolled down the windows and blasted Vanessa Carlton while waiting on the Wendy&#8217;s drive-thru line at 1am all those times.  Their loss.</p>
<p>The full list of alleged &#8220;<a href="http://www.billboard.com/#/../../features/one-hit-wonders-of-the-2000s-page-1-1004051216.story" target="_blank">One-Hit Wonders</a>&#8221; of the 2000s.</p>
<p><em>*Her list of hits is even longer if you confuse her with Michelle Branch as I often did (do). </em></p>
