    "comment": "1979 appears at position 2905 of Pi.\n\nReleased as the second single from The Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 double album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, '1979' was written by Billy Corgan. The track was built around a drum loop and multi-tracked guitars, departing from the band’s heavier alternative rock sound. It remains the band’s highest-charting single (in the U.S.).",
