Eligibility of songs:

* Just U.S. Charted Pop Singles of the era 1950(generally) but not after 1963.

* No Album Only Tracks or Uncharted B Sides.

* U.S. Chart Links as a guideline HERE, or they may be on Songfacts' Main Index page, where there are alphabetical links to many songs, either by Title or Artist. .

..................................................

Allot your points in 3 sections:

PART A: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #4 you'd like to advance:

(Plus) +5, +4, +3, +2, +1.

PART B: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #4 you don't really care for, or you think could make way for others:

Hi All. The view from my window isn't anywhere near as good as it was this morning. We had a restful 6 days overlooking the ocean and have just arrived back home. :)

That was a great Summation of last week's GO Top 40 that cyber gave. :thumbsup:

Thanks to the 10 who've voted to date. I'll return and cast my votes soon. This looks like it may be the first time we've had less than a dozen participants.

However, if we can get and maintain a dozen people each week - maybe even pick up a few more - I think we can make a go of this. I might have a chat to Carl to see what we can do to promote it.

:stars:
