1960s Top 40 Rate - The 'Impossible' Part 10 Numbers 23 and 27s While there were several different UK singles charts during the 1960s (with the NME weekly chart being the most widely followed), the Guinness Book Of Hit Singles and, subsequently, the Official Charts Company use the Record Retailer chart as their reference during this period, so that's the one we'll be using here. The 'Official' Singles Charts, as we know it, didn't begin until February 1969. These series of rates will cover March 1960 (when the chart expanded to a Top 40 for the first time) to December 1969. Due to the relatively obscure nature of the tracks below you can vote as follows: +10 +9 +8 +7 +6 +5 +4 +3 +2 +1 If you can't pick ten songs, you can try four: +10 +7 +4 +1 And alternatively, if you can only pick three: +10 +5 +1 Number 23s Flee-Rekkers - Green Jeans Bob Azzam & His Orchestra - Mustapha Mike Preston - I'd Do Anything Johnny Horton - North To Alaska Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson - How Wonderful To Know Dorothy Squires & Russ Conway - Say It With Flowers Nina & Frederik - Sucu-Sucu Rick Nelson - Everlovin' Chubby Checker - Slow Twistin' Neil Sedaka - King Of Clowns Helen Shapiro - Let's Talk About Love Shirelles - Soldier Boy Jim Reeves - Adios Amigo Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen - The Pay Off (Amoi De Payer) Everly Brothers - (So It Was It Is) So It Will Always Be Eddie Cochran - My Way Sam Cooke - Another Saturday Night Adam Faith - Walkin' Tall Miki & Griff - I Wanna Stay Here Del Shannon - Two Silhouettes Tommy Tucker - Hi-Heel Sneakers John Lee Hooker - Dimples Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell Dionne Warwick - Reach Out For Me Applejacks - Three Little Words (I Love You) Matt Monro - For Mama Rockin' Berries - What In The World's Come Over You Adam Faith - Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself Ronnie Hilton - A Windmill In Old Amsterdam Dixie Cups - Iko Iko Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself Roy Orbison - (Say) You're My Girl Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames - Something Petula Clark - You're The One Mamas & Papas - California Dreamin' Otis Redding - Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song) Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville Vince Hill - Love Letters In The Sand Jeff Beck - Love Is Blue (L'Amour Est Bleu) Association - Time For Living Four Tops - Yesterday's Dreams Donovan - Atlantis Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Don Juan Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich - Snake In The Grass Bee Gees - Tomorrow Tomorrow Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin' Number 27s Connie Francis - Valentino Eddie Byrnes & Connie Stevens - Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb) Keith Kelly - (Must You Always) Tease Me Sam Cooke - Wonderful World Alma Cogan - Train Of Love Don Costa - Never On Sunday Lonnie Donegan - Virgin Mary Russ Conway - Even More Party Pops John Barry Seven - Black Stockings Ben E King - First Taste Of Love Mark Wynter - Dream Girl Chubby Checker - Pony Time Ben E King - Stand By Me Pat Boone - I'll See You In My Dreams Duane Eddy & The Rebelettes - Boss Guitar Tony Bennett - The Good Life Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen - Acapulco 1922 Buddy Holly - What To Do Chuck Berry - Nadine (Is It You?)
