Suppose you took the title and artist of a song that reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and you replaced all the lowercase letters with xs and all the uppercase letters and numbers with Xs, but left the spacing and punctuation unchanged. Could you still recognize the title and artist? Not if it's "Xxxxxx" by Xxxxxxx (that could be "Smooth" by Santana, or "Timber" by Pitbull). Maybe, if it's "Xxxxxx-xx-Xxx" by Xxxxx X-Xxx (which could only be "Mother-in-Law" by Ernie K-Doe, but boy, you'd really have to know the Billboard Hot 100). If it's one of the following...well, let's find out!
Spelling and punctuation according to https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/ (but I decided not to include "fun.", or "Fun.", or whatever they are, just to be safe), other than their tendency to overcapitalize title words. Featured artists are not included. Years of release are given (though some songs may not have hit #1 until the next year). And don't forget: capital Xs can be numbers as well as capital letters!
