context_page_description: Adult Contemporary is a chart published by Billboard ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music genre. In 2000, seven different songs topped the chart in 52 issues of the magazine, based on weekly airplay data from radio stations compiled by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.
  In the year's first issue of Billboard the number one song was "I Knew I Loved You" by Savage Garden, which was in its second week at number one. The Australian duo's song held the top spot for the first 16 weeks of 2000, the longest unbroken run of the year at number one, before being displaced in the issue of Billboard dated April 22 by Faith Hill's song "Breathe". "I Knew I Loved You" would prove to be one of the most enduring songs in the history of AC radio, and in 2002 it set a new record for the highest total number of weeks spent on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart when it spent its 124th week on the listing, breaking the record set by one of Savage Garden's earlier songs, "Truly Madly Deeply".
