Posted May 15, 20169 yr http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/tbacig/cst3010/images/1960s_logo.gif :cry: 1960s Top 40 Rate - The 'Impossible' Part 1 :cry: Numbers 29 and 30s 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 29s Dave Sampson - Sweet Dreams Beverley Sisters - Green Fields Joan Regan - Papa Loves Mama James Darren - Because They're Young Manuel And His Music Of The Mountains - Never On A Sunday Brian Hyland - Four Little Heels Ernie K-Doe - Mother In Law Fireballs - Quite A Party Nat 'King' Cole - Let True Love Begin Terry Lightfoot's New Orleans Jazzmen - King Kong Doug Sheldon - Your Ma Said You Cried In Your Sleep Last Night Gary Miller - There Goes That Song Again Bobby Vee - Please Don't Ask About Barbara Shane Fenton & The Fentones - It's All Over Now Burl Ives - Funny Way Of Laughin' Spotnicks - Orange Blossom Special Del Shannon - Cry Myself To Sleep Matt Monro - My Love And Devotion Neil Sedaka - Next Door To An Angel Steve Race - The Pied Piper (The Beeje) Mike Sarne - Code Of Love James Gilreath - Little Band Of Gold Chiffons - One Fine Day Little Peggy March - Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love Jim Reeves - Guilty Karl Denver - My World Of Blue Beatles - Ain't She Sweet Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - The Girl From Ipanema Betty Everett - Getting Mighty Crowded Jewel Atkins - The Birds And The Bees Kenny Lynch - I'll Stay By You Gerry & The Pacemakers - Walk Hand In Hand Wilson Pickett - Don't Fight It James Brown - I Got You (I Feel Good) Roy Orbison - Twinkle Toes Hank Locklin - I Feel A Cry Coming On Otis Redding - I Can't Turn You Loose Jimmy Ruffin - I've Passed This Way Before Sonny And Cher - Beat Goes On Beach Boys - Wild Honey Frankie Vaughan - Nevertheless P.P Arnold - Angel Of The Morning Long John Baldry - When The Sun Comes Shining Thru' Aphrodite's Child - Rain And Tears Tremeloes - I Shall Be Released Jethro Tull - Love Story Microbe - Groovy Baby Chicken Shack - Tears In The Wind Family - No Mule's Fool Number 30s Marty Wilde - Johnny Rocco Buddy Holly - Heartbeat Mr Acker Bilk & His Paramount Jazz Band - White Cliffs Of Dover Lyn Cornell - Never On Sunday Avons - Rubber Ball Peggy Lee - Til There Was You Brook Benton - The Boll Weevil Song Bobby Angelo & The Tuxedos - Baby Sittin' Tommy Steele - The Writing On The Wall Duane Eddy - Drivin' Home Connie Francis - Baby's First Christmas Allisons - Lessons Of Love Sandy Nelson - Drums Are My Beat Andy Williams - Stranger On The Shore James Darren - Conscience Emilio Pericoli - Al Di La Little Eva - Keep Your Hands Off My Baby Swinging Blue Jeans - It's Too Late Now Richard Chamberlain - True Love Sam Cooke - Frankie And Johnny Dave Clark Five - Do You Love Me Sounds Incorporated - The Spartans Kenny Ball And His Jazzmen - Hello, Dolly!

May 29, 20169 yr good results - it's going to be a soul-dominated rundown by the looks. Given the Beatles will be competing for 17 slots at 1 we may end up with the bizarre situation that not a single single from the biggest band of all-time will feature :o
