CHER BECOMES FIRST ARTIST TO HAVE A #1 SONG FOR SIX DECADES

...and will probably hold the record for a while. The legendary Cher has made music history by hitting #1 on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs chart with her song You Haven't Seen the Last of Me from the film Burlesque, making her the first and only artist to place a #1 song on a Billboard chart for SIX DECADES!!! Her #1s include: (song, year, chart)

I Got You Babe (w/ Sonny Bono) - August 1965 (Hot 100)
Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves - November 1971 (Hot 100)
Half-Breed - October 1973 (Hot 100)
Dark Lady - March 1974 (Hot 100)
After All (w/ Peter Cetera) - 1989 (U.S. AC)
If I Could Turn Back Time - 1989 (U.S. AC)
Believe - December 1998 (Hot 100, U.S. Sales, U.S. Club)
Strong Enough - 1999 (U.S. Club)
All or Nothing - 1999 (U.S. Club)
Dov'e L'Amore - 1999 (U.S. Club)
Song For the Lonely - 2002 (U.S. Club)
A Different Kind of Love Song - 2002 (U.S. Club)
When the Money's Gone - 2002 (U.S. Club)
You Haven't Seen the Last of Me - 2011 (U.S. Club)

Pretty damn impressive, Cher. The "Dark Lady" also holds the Hot 100 record for the longest hit-making career span, with 33 years between the release of her first and most recent #1singles on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1965 and 1999. Holy shizz! I guess she's right, we haven't seen the last of her. Keep 'em coming, girl. We love ya. Check out a few #1s below.
