1960s Top 40 Rate Number 5s 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. Below is a chronological list of all the singles which peaked at No.5 in the UK during the 1960s. Rate your faves, and the winner will go through to the final Ultimate Top 40 (where it will join the best No.1, No.2 etc). Mr Acker Bilk & His Paramount Jazz Band - Summer Set Max Bygraves - Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'be Lonnie Donegan - I Wanna Go Home (The Wreck Of The 'John B') Tommy Steele - What A Mouth (What A North And South) Adam Faith - When Johnny Comes Marching Home Connie Francis - Everybody's Somebody's Fool Johnny Burnette - Dreamin' Shadows - Man Of Mystery/The Stranger Adam Faith - Who Am I?/This Is It Matt Monro - My Kind Of Girl Connie Francis - Where The Boys Are/Baby Roo Brook Brothers - War Paint Cleo Laine - You'll Answer To Me Tony Orlando - Bless You Billy Fury - I'd Never Find Another You Bobby Darin - Multiplication Leroy Van Dyke - Walk On By Adam Faith - As You Like It Brian Hyland - Ginny Come Lately Jimmy Rodgers - English Country Garden Crickets - Don't Ever Change Shirley Bassey - What Now My Love?

Fabulous top 30, love em all. I’m perfectly comfortable with Val Doonican beating Bowie, and Hendrix and Julie Driscoll beating Dylan. Everyone should have a go, there at least 10 famous songs here! |
