USA chart for this week:

www.umdmusic.com/default.asp?Lang=English&Chart=D&ChDay=5&ChMonth=3&ChYear=1969&ChBand=&ChSong=


This week's chart run down on TOTP.

[Deleted]

Dorthe's new single was started only at # 21 in my chart, possibly she will climb on this week.

Very happy song (as the most her German language singles) from Peggy March will hold # 1 for the second week.



Glad to see some other voters for Sandie and Cilla hits.

[Earl Purple]

That's part of the problem of having this chart start in 1967 is that we have big hits from 1965 and 1966 charting now (in 1969).

Both "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and "River Deep Mountain High" spent 6 weeks at #1 in my chart and both were the top single of their year.

"I Heard It Through The Grapevine" was #1 for me for 5 weeks during its US run. I knew having its run split was going to make it unlikely to reach #1 here, but adding all the points it's probably outscored many #1s.

How about a Bee Gees B-side ? Better than the A-side in my opinion.

1st March 1969

It's 2 weeks on top for the Bee Gees in a static top 8, more or less, due to the sheer classicness, though The Beach Boys shoot up to 9, and Colin Blunstone gets a second top 10 of the year. Highest new entry, as usual when they have a new single out, is Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich and their final release in a 3-year-run (and more) of under-appreciated varied pop dramas, in at 16. Booker T & The MG's also enter high with their Johnny Walker lunchtime Top 30 rundown instrumental backing, & The Tempts have an old Motown reissue beating out their new stuff. 

Mama Cass does a slightly-more uptempo cover of Harmony Grass' Move In A Little Closer - and I have to say the version I know best is Mama's as it was on the budget albums I bought in 1974 and played to death. Jazzrock classic You've Made Me So Very Happy also goes top 40, while lower down newies from The Hollies keep the run of hits going for another year, Sorry Suzanne was a fave of the time, Gene Pitney still good with Maria Elena, The Chambers Brothers Slytastic flop Are You Ready (much better than their big hit, I think), Gary Puckett being Gary Puckett, Paul Anka covering 3-time Five Satins 1956 hit, and future BoyzIIMen acapella cover hit in the States, In The Still Of The Night, & Monkees songwriters Boyce & Hart release the theme song to the successful campaign to reduce the voting age to 18.

Meanwhile, wot I liked in 1969 at 11 years old is quite a bit different from how I feel about them 50 years later in quite a few cases.....
