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 31s Frankie Vaughan - Kookie Little Paradise Brenda Lee - I Want To Be Wanted Springfields - Breakaway Eddie Cochran - Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie Rose Brennan - Tall Dark Stranger Drifters - When My Little Girl Is Smiling Shirley Bassey - Ave Maria Johnny Tillotson - It Keeps Right On A Hurtin' Joe Brown - Your Tender Look Marty Wilde - Ever Since You Said Goodbye Patsy Cline - Heartaches Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers - Can Can '62 Vernons Girls - Funny All Over Adam Faith - What Now Jerry Lee Lewis - Good Golly Miss Molly Springfields - Come On Home Bruisers - Blue Girl Brian Poole & The Tremeloes - I Can Dance Terry Stafford - Suspicion Migil 5 - Near You Ken Dodd - Happiness Julie Grant - Come To Me Poets - Now We're Thru Ken Dodd - So Deep Is The Night Joe Loss & His Orchestra - March Of The Mods Swinging Blue Jeans - Don't Make Me Over Searchers - Take It Or Leave It Chiffons - Sweet Talkin' Guy Chris Farlowe - Ride On Baby Eddie Floyd - Things Get Better Tony Blackburn - So Much Love William Bell - Tribute To A King Grapefruit - C'mon Marianne Fleetwood Mac - Need Your Love So Bad Kinks - Plastic Man Dave Clark Five - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Pat Campbell - The Deal Number 32s Jack Scott - Burning Bridges Wanda Jackson - Let's Have A Party Fendermen - Mule Skinner Blues Bill Black's Combo - Don't Be Cruel Fats Domino - My Girl Josephine Freddie Cannon - Muskrat Ramble Mark Wynter - Exclusively Yours Harry Belafonte & Odetta - There's A Hole In My Bucket Billy Fury - Letter Full Of Tears Gene Pitney - Town Without Pity Carol Deene - Johnny Get Angry Chubby Checker - Limbo Rock Routers - Let's Go Eydie Gorme - Blame It On The Bossa Nova Karl Denver - Can You Forgive Me Don Spencer - Fireball Karl Denver - Indian Love Call Shirley Bassey - My Special Dream Joy Strings - It's An Open Secret Brian Poole & The Tremeloes - Twelve Steps To Love Tom Jones - Once Upon A Time Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders - She Needs Love Fontella Bass - Recovery Four Pennies - Trouble Is My Middle Name The Who - A Legal Matter David McCallum - Communication Sandie Shaw - Run Cher - Sunny Sandie Shaw - Think Sometimes About Me Walker Brothers - Deadlier Than The Male Roy Orbison - So Good Joe Brown - With A Little Help From My Friends Paul Jones - Thinkin' Ain't For Me Lulu - Love Love To Love Love P J Proby - It's Your Day Today Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue/Rave On Vince Hill - The Importance Of Your Love Sly & The Family Stone - M'Lady Dick Emery - If You Love Her Edited July 8, 20169 yr by AH Gold
