In 1958, Iran bans rock n roll because its music is against Islamic beliefs. Elvis joins the army while Phil Spector, Marvin Gaye, and Kenny Rogers begin their musical careers. Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old cousin causing a major scandal that he never really recovered from. Meanwhile, Billboard Magazine launches the Hot 100 chart for the first time.
