Posted June 6, 20169 yr http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/tbacig/cst3010/images/1960s_logo.gif :cry: 1960s Top 40 Rate - The 'Impossible' Part 2 :cry: Numbers 39 and 40s 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 39s Michael Holliday - Skylark Cliff Adams Orchestra - The Lonely Man Theme Dick Jordan - Little Christine Jess Conrad - Cherry Pie Jane Morgan - Romantica Pat Boone - Walking The Floor Over You Rusty Draper - Mule Skinner Blues Al Saxon - Blue Eyed Boy Garry Mills - I'll Step Down Four Preps - More Money For You And Me - Medley Frank Sinatra - The Coffee Song Iain Gregory - Can't You Hear The Beat Of A Broken Heart Don Charles - Walk With Me My Angel Connie Francis - Don't Break The Heart That Loves You Sandy Nelson - Drummin' Up A Storm Vernons Girls - Lover Please/You Know What I Mean Rick Nelson - Teenage Idol Orlons - Don't Hang Up Petula Clark - Casanova/Charlot Jimmy Soul - If You Wanna Be Happy John Barry - From Russia With Love Tony Meehan - Song Of Mexico Kenny Lynch - Stand By Me Buddy Holly - Love's Made A Fool Of You Heinz - Questions I Can't Answer Gunter Kallman Choir - Elisabeth - Serenade Dodie West - Goin' Out Of My Head Cheetahs - Soldier Boy Bo Diddley - Hey, Good Lookin' Honeycombs - Something Better Beginning Shirley Bassey - No Regrets Jackie Trent - When The Summertime Is Over Supremes - I Hear A Symphony Phil Upchurch Combo - You Can't Sit Down (Part One) Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band - Water Billy Stewart - Summertime Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band - Michael (He's A Lover) Val Doonican - Two Streets Aretha Franklin - Baby I Love You Tremeloes - Be Mine Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs - Foggy Mountain Breakdown Everly Brothers - It's My Time Cilla Black - Where Is Tomorrow Roy Orbison - Walk On Dave Clark Five - Live In The Sky Vikki Carr - With Pen In Hand Number 40s Shaye Cogan - Mean To Me John Barry Orchestra - Beat For Beatniks Stan Freberg!
