Posted July 31, 20168 yr http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/tbacig/cst3010/images/1960s_logo.gif :cry: 1960s Top 40 Rate - The 'Impossible' Part 8 :cry: Numbers 34 and 38s 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 34s Joe Brown - The Dark Town Strutter's Ball Four Lads - Standing On The Corner Bobby Darin - Bill Bailey John Barry Orchestra - Blueberry Hill Frankie Vaughan - Milord Johnny Preston - Charming Billy Allisons - Words Al Caiola - Theme From 'The Magnificent Seven' Ricky Stevens - I Cried For You Phil McLean - Small Sad Sam Nat 'King' Cole - Brazilian Love Song Leroy Van Dyke - Big Man In A Big House Norman Vaughan - Swinging In The Rain (Singin' In The Rain) Elvis Presley - Follow That Dream (EP) Anthony Newley - That Noise Mike Berry & The Outlaws - My Little Baby Johnny Tillotson - Out Of My Mind Beach Boys - Surfin' USA Bo Diddley - Pretty Thing Fats Domino - Red Sails In The Sunset Bobby Vinton - There!
