This week of charts reminds me of 2 events. One is historical as the date in 1983 I started following a certain unnameable DJ's old record club with 1961 played that week (and pretty much every 4th week following this) and the other was the May day bank holiday in 2015 when I reached this point in my retro chart and Carol and I had a nice dinner of steak and chips (not bangers and mash) whilst I played her my chart of the week. My chart looks a lot different to yours though: 1 ( 1 ) Pepe - Duane Eddy < 2nd week at #1 > 2 ( 3 ) Bangers And Mash - Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren 3 ( 10 ) Ginchy - Bert Weedon 4 ( 5 ) Mystery Girl - Jess Conrad 5 ( 2 ) Serenata - Sarah Vaughan (#1[2]) 6 ( 4 ) Calendar Girl - Neil Sedaka (#4) 7 ( -- ) Walk Right Back - Everly Brothers 8 ( 13 ) Wheels - String-A-Longs 9 ( -- ) Spanish Harlem - Ben E King 10 ( 6 ) Let's Jump The Broomstick - Brenda Lee (#6) 11 ( 7 ) A Scottish Soldier - Andy Stewart (#7) 12 ( 15 ) First Taste Of Love - Ben E King 13 ( 11 ) Shine - Joe Brown (#11) 14 ( -- ) FBI - Shadows 15 ( 19 ) Where The Boys Are - Connie Francis 16 ( -- ) Dedicated To The One I Love - Shirelles 17 ( 8 ) Shop Around - Miracles (#6) 18 ( -- ) Who Am I - Adam Faith 19 ( 12 ) I Count The Tears - Drifters (#12) 20 ( 14 ) Emotions - Brenda Lee (#14) 21 ( 17 ) What To Do - Buddy Holly (#17) 22 ( 9 ) Will You Love Me Tomorrow - Shirelles (#1[2]) 23 ( 26 ) C'est Si Bon - Conway Twitty 24 ( 16 ) Calcutta - Lawrence Welk (#13) 25 ( 22 ) Mean Mean Man - Wanda Jackson (#22) 26 ( 23 ) Lovey Dovey - Buddy Knox (#23) 27 ( -- ) Ebony Eyes - Everly Brothers 28 ( 21 ) Doll House - King Brothers (#17) 29 ( 18 ) Let's Slip Away - Cleo Laine (#4) 30 ( 24 ) My Empty Arms - Jackie Wilson (#21) -- ( 20 ) Exodus - Ferrante & Teicher (#1[2]) -- ( 25 ) Rubber Ball - Bobby Vee (#7) -- ( 27 ) Little Girl - Marty Wilde (#11) -- ( 28 ) Piltdown Rides Again - Piltdown Men (#23) -- ( 29 ) The Hoochi Coochi Coo - Hank Ballard And The Midnighters -- ( 30 ) Strawberry Blonde - Frank D'Rone (#13) -- ( -- ) Baby Sittin' Boogie - Buzz Clifford -- ( -- ) The Story Of My Love - Paul Anka -- ( -- ) Pony Time - Chubby Checker -- ( -- ) This Is It - Adam Faith -- ( -- ) All In My Mind - Maxine Brown -- ( -- ) If I Didn't Care - Platters 6 new entries that week plus 6 others that didn't get in. Not sure how Paul Anka, Chubby Checker and Adam Faith all failed to reach my chart that week.... Chubby Checker is #3 in yours.

Steak and chips for me tonight actually, I take it This Is It was the B-side to Who Am I! yeah Pony Time by Chubby Checker peaked at #3 for me, my chart will be slightly different because if a song comes out in America first I'm using the American release date, just easier for me because I don't have to check every song to see if it had a UK release later in the month/year, if it even charted at all, just saves a lot of time, Pony Time did get to #1 in America and #27 in the UK so maybe one you would chart now with the benefit of hindsight

I use the entry date to the US top 40 (and may have been the top 30 for 1961) and the UK top 50, whichever comes first.
When there are 2 versions of the same song, I will normally only chart one unless they are significantly different, or the second one is superior.
Regarding Adam Faith, that probably was it, I will chart both sides of a double-A side separately if they charted separately in the US or they charted in both places, but that wouldn't have applied here so I simply charted the one I considered the better track. So I shouldn't have listed "This Is It" as a flop as such. I guess one of Ebony Eyes / Walk Right Back entered the US chart this week thus I charted both.

I don't know whether throwing in the name of the artist who is number one helps bring in readers. If anything it would make it less exciting, although sometimes seeing what is the highest entry and other songs in the top 10 may be more interesting that what is number one. (At present I have Queen at #1 in my chart in 1975 with Bohemian Rhapsody - I guess that was always going to happen. In 1959 Connie Francis holds my #1 with "Lipstick On Your Collar", a likely but not totally obvious choice).

Ok, my top 20 that week was:
1 ( 4 ) My Kind Of Girl - Matt Monro < 1st week at #1 > 2 ( 1 ) Walk Right Back - Everly Brothers (#1[2]) 3 ( 2 ) Surrender - Elvis Presley (#2[1]) 4 ( 5 ) Samantha - Kenny Ball And His Jazzmen 5 ( 3 ) Pepe - Duane Eddy (#1[4]) 6 ( 7 ) The Magnificent Seven - John Barry 7 ( 11 ) 76 Trombones - King Brothers 8 ( 15 ) Wooden Heart - Elvis Presley 9 ( 6 ) Spanish Harlem - Ben E King (#4) 10 ( 14 ) Theme For A Dream - Cliff Richard 11 ( 10 ) Black Bear - Frank Cordell & His Orchestra 12 ( 8 ) FBI - Shadows (#6) 13 ( 12 ) Man From Madrid - Tony Osborne Sound 14 ( -- ) On The Rebound - Floyd Cramer 15 ( 9 ) Ginchy - Bert Weedon (#2[1]) 16 ( 23 ) Marry Me - Mike Preston 17 ( 20 ) Ja-Da - Johnny &The Hurricanes 18 ( 27 ) Hearts Of Stone - Bill Black's Combo 19 ( 13 ) Dedicated To The One I Love - Shirelles (#7) 20 ( 29 ) Ram-Bunk-Shush - Ventures
Seeing that our charts are so different, you seem to love the pop vocalists like Bobby Vee. However my chart has far more instrumentals than yours. You're also not that keen on jazz/swing type songs (Matt Monro and Kenny Ball in mine).

Its the format I've always used and my 90s chart has over 41,000 views so it cant hurt, sometimes people see an artist they like and go ohh I will check that out, if I said Cliff Richard was number 1 Rubcale would be straight in here Plus not many people know off the top of their head what Del Shannon song was released in March 1961

Yeah very few instrumentals and jazz/swing make my chart, id say it was very pop mixed with early soul/r&b or whatever you would categorise Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Nina Simone, Chubby Checker, Maurice Williams, Ben E King, Nat King Cole, Fats Domino, that will change when rock changes the face of music in a few years time
