This is the first of a two-part quiz I'm doing.  I borrowed this idea from Paul, who had done a quiz on the UK Top 40 not too long ago.  The numbers you see correspond with how well that song did on the U.S. charts.  Your job is to identify the song from the lyric and also name the artist(s). 

Limit: 7

NOTE: Due to the size of this quiz I will not be replying to each post.  I will only reply if the answer is wrong or if somebody else came up with the answer before you.

Good luck!  ;D
