  • 1969.....#1 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #1 UK Singles Charts, #1 Canada, #2 Australia, #1 New Zealand, #1 Israel
    Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
    "In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)" is a 1969 hit song by the American pop-rock duo of Zager and Evans. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks commencing July 12, 1969. It peaked at number one in the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in August and September that year. The song was written and composed by Rick Evans in 1964 and originally released on a small regional record label (Truth Records) in 1968. It was later picked up by RCA Records. Zager and Evans disbanded in 1971.
    Zager and Evans were a one-hit wonder, never releasing another charting single. This occurred in both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart and as of 2021, they are the only recording artists ever to have a chart-topping number one hit on both sides of the Atlantic and never have another Billboard charting single in the US or the UK for the rest of their career. Their follow-up single on RCA Victor, "Mr. Turnkey", reached number 48 in the Canadian pop charts and number 41 in the Canadian AC chart. Another single, "Listen to the People", managed to make the bottom slot of the Cashbox chart at number 100 and number 96 in Canada.

    I was born in 69 and I never cared for my dad's era of music. But in the 90s I worked at a 50s & 60s diner for 5 years. I heard this song for the first time.
    I went to my dad that week and told him that I got it. I got him. I knew.

      The price of products in the free marketplace are a reflection of supply, demand, costs, and profit margins. "Biden" has zero to do with the price of your coffee. While your coffee price has supposedly gone up, the financial compensation of your coffee company's CEO and senior executives has also gone up. Where do you think they get the money to raise their pay, clown? By raising prices to YOU and from replacing low-level workers with automation/technology. Part of being dumb is directing your coffee price bitching at somebody who has nothing to do with it, instead of directing it at the ones that do. Sad.
