20 Dusty Springfield .........In The Middle Of Nowhere - poor by her standards

21 The Kinks ....................See My Friend - a very brave, banned track, illuding to bi-sexuality?

Only 6 I don't like - the others are all true classics

 

You can see the complete UK singles charts from 5-50 years ago and US from 5-65 years ago in 5 yearly intervals HERE

Just click on Chart Archives and choose the chart you want. - They are usually updated Saturday - occasionally on Sundays.

Edited by Euro Music

i dont like the 5 year intervals though, i use the charts from that link i pinned as whilst they may not be weekly, they do cover every month in every year..

 

On the World Charts website - the reason for the 5 yearly intervals is because of copyright.

Originally they were on for the corresponding week of every year but was asked to take them down or face legal action for copyright or a hefty licence fee. Same for Billboard in the US.

I was however given permission to put them up at 5 yearly intervals by both so that's how it came about.

 

Everyhit.com do not use the offical chart and only some sort of Top 40 only. World Charts has the official chart and complete.
