Zager & Evans - In the Year 2525
American duo Zager and Evans, released in 1969. The song explores the future of humanity over a 10,000-year span, predicting negative impacts of technology on human life and ultimately leading to extinction.
It swiftly scaled the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts on July 12, 1969 – eight days before Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon – where it stayed for six weeks. Over in the UK, the song reached number one on August 30, 1969, where it stayed for three weeks. That makes Zager and Evans the ONLY act in history to get a number one on both sides of the Atlantic - yet never have another charting in the UK or US after that.
