The groups of letters below make up the "Top 10 Songs of All Time" and the artist names according to Rolling Stone magazine. The answer is divided into groups of 3 letters. If the answer isn't divisible by 3 a smaller group or a letter will be needed to complete the answer.

The number next to the clue represents the number of letters in the full answer. The first letter in the artist's name is capitalized in the group. If the letter count is equal between two of the answers I've included the first letter of the artist's name to make all of the answers unique.

Example: If the King had made the list, which I can't believe he didn't, it may have been:

I could not actually see the last two letters in the list, but I think this must be the answer!

You're all heart, Rog

Good solves, y'all.

Looks like an "e" hitched a ride on the "on" there, Lex. Nicely done.

I think that "one" belongs in 2, so that perhaps an extra "on" was needed.

Cool puzzle!

In the case of the King, it was the singer, not the song.

You've pieced them together well.

Thanks for the help, Lex. I should know better than to try something this complicated on a Tuesday.
You're not dissing the King are you?

I saw Elvis live in Las Vegas back in 1970, something which gives me some envious street cred with a much younger colleague who celebrated her 30th Birthday a couple of years ago with a trip to Graceland and is a committed fan!

That's a wrap!

I never saw Elvis live. My mother just adored him so I grew up hearing his music.
