Posted March 28, 200916 yr This week back in 1964 history was made with the Top 5 and the Beatles on the Billboard Hop 100 The likes of which had never happened before or even since. They were released on 4 different record labels. There were more lower down in the chart. You can see the chart HERE Edited March 28, 200916 yr by Euro Music
March 28, 200916 yr Bloody hell! They were pretty popular then eh? Even just number 1 and number 2 is almost unprecented, I've never seen the entire top 5 all the same artist before! A few fun things I noticed (my parents weren't even born when this chart came out): *I had no idea The Shoop Shoop Song was a cover version until I clicked that link. I assumed Cher wrote it herself in the 1990s. *I love the cheap cashins of bands recording songs called "A Letter to the Beatles" and "We Love the Beatles". *The Pink Panther theme is in the charts!

March 28, 200916 yr Author :lol: Hard to believe that even Cher's cover was from 18 years ago now. The original Betty Everett version peaked at UK#34 on re-release in 1968 There was also a UK cover in between by Linda Lewis from 1975 peaking at UK #6 It was written by Rudy Clark who's wrote many US hits but his other major UK was the 1987 UK#2 hit Got My Mind Set On You by George Harrison Here's the original Betty Everett version CMYmTSpMp6w Linda Lewis disco cover from 1975 U348YTAkxjc Edited March 30, 200916 yr by Euro Music
March 28, 200916 yr I don't know about the US Hot 100, but Cher's version of The Shoop Shoop Song was from the film Mermaids and charted in the UK in 1991 - I find it hard to believe that it would have charted at an entirely different point in the US. Her massive hit Believe was from the end of 1998 - perhaps you're getting it confused with that? :unsure:
