Bob Dylan, the 65 year old pop artist, became the oldest living artist to ever have a number 1 hit song on the billboard. His song, "Modern Times" hit the top of the pop charts, which is his first number 1 hit since 1976. In '76 his song "Desire" held the top spot for 5 weeks, but until his lastest song, his ratings had been dropping. The alblum sold over 192,000 copies in the last week and "Modern Times" also hit number 1 in Austrailia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and Norway. Dylan has been in the music business for over five decades and has sang in all types of genres such as pop, rock, country, and folk music.
