    Almost Made It

    This week on the Tap, Randy Bachman has put together a second class playlist,  That is, a collection of tunes that never made it to #1 on the charts,  A song writer or band can produce a perfect hit song but no matter what they try it just can't crack the top spot.  You will be surprised at some of the tunes that didn't. On the flip side, Randy has a bunch of Canadian tunes that DID reach #1.To find out who did or didn't top the charts, be sure to tune in to the Tap!
