(Just Like) Starting Over
You should group together (Just Like) Starting Over - no. 2 with "StartingOver" (incorrect title) no. 17, although I don't think it would get to no. 1 anyway. Thanks
As you point out the title "Starting Over" is incorrect, those entries have been fixed, thanks for the suggestion
