Rising to No. 1 on the list of Eagles Top 40 singles is no easy task.

A total of 17 tracks made Billboard's main chart, with all but one arriving in the initial era of 1972-1980 that sealed their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame status. (The lone exception was Don Henley 's "Get Over It," from the Eagles' unlikely early '90s reunion.)

They tell the story of a songwriting partnership that grew with each new studio album until Henley and Glenn Frey were the group's acknowledged leaders. Lead vocals were pretty evenly split, with Henley on eight and Frey on six. Frey was the frontman on two chart-topping songs, while Henley had three. (Frey's "Lyin' Eyes" just missed at No. 2.)
