Well done on a top score of 55 on Friday, John. In Champions League week, that's phenomenal. Round 1: 21 1-2-3-x-x-x-7-8-x-x Round 2: 6 1-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-x-x Yes, round 2 was tough.

Just to confirm, the synctube listenthrough will take place this evening, starting about 8pm.

Round 1: 27 1-x-x-4-x-6-7-x-9-x Round 2: 19 1-x-x-x-5-6-7-x-x-x

I can host a listenthrough on Monday evening (the 23rd). I'm guessing more people will be around before Christmas than if it was hosted between Christmas and New Year.

Well done Steve on the top score in 10 to the top. Round 1: 41 1-2-x-x-5-6-x-8-9-10 Round 2: 28 1-2-3-x-5-x-x-8-9-x I couldn't remember the title of the song by from the US no.1 listening sessions

I have been meaning to get round to that. It would look more neat and tidy without Dandy's big scoreboard for that contest.

Today's: Round 1: 19 1-x-3-x-x-6-x-x-9-x Round 2: 40 1-2-3-4-x-6-7-8-9-x

Round 1: 24 1-x-3-x-5-6-x-x-9-x The same questions as you Round 2: 26 1-x-3-4-5-6-7-x-x-x

17th - 23rd December 1964 26. Yeh Yeh - Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames An interesting jazz/pop crossover, I like it. The single will reach number 1 before last week's ROTW by the Moody Blues, spending two weeks at the summit. 35. A Starry Night - The Joy Strings The second and last hit for the Salvation Army group is about the true meaning of Christmas. It's a good melding of the male and female vocals with some twinkly sounding accompaniment. 38. Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day - Brenda Lee A less well known Christmas song from Brenda and it's more upbeat than I was expecting when I saw the title. All the ingredients are here: big drums, strings, sleigh bells and backing singers. 39. Like A Child - Julie Rogers The second of her three hits is an orchestra backed ballad which, rather than building gradually, alternates from quiet to noisy and back again at regular intervals throughout the song. Record of the week : 37. Ferry 'Cross The Mersey - Gerry and The Pacemakers And quite an easy decision with this well known song appearing this week. It's a fine vocal from Gerry backed by the understated orchestration. He wrote the song for the group's own film of the same name. It's a bit of a surprise that the single went no higher than number 8. 08083BNaYcA

That would be fine as long as you enter the single version, not the album version, if they are different.

10th - 16th December 1964 16. No Arms Can Ever Hold You - The Bachelors This time the Bachelors are tackling a song from 1955 and there's a bit more scale to this one with the strings and drums building it up. The piano chords are fairly similar to 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. 20. I Could Easily Fall (In Love With You) - Cliff Richard and the Shadows A song written by The Shadows for the pantomime 'Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp'. It's pleasant enough if a little basic 26. Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley Like the last few Elvis singles, this is an old recording, going back to his 1957 Christmas album. It's certainly endured through the years and I particularly like the backing vocals by the Jordanaires. 27. What Have They Done To The Rain? - The Searchers A cover of one of the earliest protest songs by Malvina Reynolds from 1962. It's about nuclear testing producing radioactive fallout which came back down to the planet in the rain. The Searchers version has some sympathetic strings. 30. Somewhere - PJ Proby It's a third top 10 hit out of three releases for PJ Proby with his version of the song from West Side Story. He has a deeper voice than most of the other singers who have attempted it and doesn't try to oversing it. 34. Cast Your Fate To The Wind - Sounds Orchestral The only top 40 hit for the English group is an enjoyable instrumental with quite a few tempo changes and the piano combining well with the strings and drums. 36. Gone Gone Gone - The Everly Brothers The energetic drum intro set the pace and a good rhythm was kept up for the rest of this song. 38. Girl Don't Come - Sandie Shaw The follow-up to her number 1 will reach the top 3 and it's another good one with a wonderful tone to her vocal. Record of the week : 35. Go Now - The Moody Blues An easy decision this week as one of my favourite songs from the mid 60s appears. The piano parts make it stand out along with the long held notes on the backing vocals. There's also a fine lead vocal from Denny Laine. The Birmingham group's first single failed to chart but this cover of a Bessie Banks song will spend a week at number 1 at the end of January.
