FangBlade No Longer Number 1

Uh, no?
You can look up which song was top of the billboard chart 50 years ago, or which team scored the most home runs 30 seasons ago, or who took the bronze medal on the parallel bars at the Montreal Olympics. Accomplishments of the past don't disappear, they are recorded for posterity. Yes, there's a new ranking out every week, or year, or four years, but they don't wipe out what's already been done.

But of those, how many are maintained by the same people who record the current rankings? Does Billboard have their charts from 50 years ago? Does the MLB maintain their who scored the most home runs 30 years ago? Are medals obtained still recorded by the Olympic committee from years ago? Well, I mean online, with public access, of course, I'd hope they'd be recorded somewhere, even if we couldn't see it. When I Google those things, it's not Billboard that tells me what songs those were, etc (with exception of the Olympics, I'm not surprised), they're on other sites, they're on wikis.

I don't doubt accomplishments get recorded, but they're not eternally displayed either.
