Thanks to all who've voted so far. :)

I hope Crazy Don votes, and our other regulars of course !

It would be great to get some new voters too.

Chart Whispers. :shades:

We'll need to send some of the newer songs up if we want any serious challengers to our #1; and there's a few songs ready to drop out, but New ones need enough points to replace them (usually 15-20). It'll be an interesting Chart this week.

You're a beauty Lars. (Aussie expression). :)

How about a TRIVIA QUESTION ? Have a go at this one.

Which 1959 song was the shortest ever to make the U.S. Top 40 ?

CLUE: It was an Instrumental. :guitar:

Hello again and welcome to Golden Oldies Top 40. I’m your host DJ Ceejay, and here we go.

3 songs move out of our countdown this week:

That’ll be all for That’ll Be the Day by Buddy Holly, which ends an 11-week run on the chart, reaching as high as #14,

Sealed with a Kiss by Brian Hyland has its fate sealed with a kiss-off after 9 weeks, and a peak at #15,

And Rhythm of the Rain by the Cascades washes out after 9 weeks, peaking at #26.

3 new songs take their place, 2 by artists new to the countdown:

Bobby Vinton has his first chart entry at #36, with Blue Velvet, a cover of the old Tony Bennett tune.

The Exciters also make their chart debut this week, with Tell Him at #30.

And the highest newbie this week is the 4th song to grace our chart for the “Geniusâ€, Ray Charles, who opens at #28 with Unchain My Heart.

As the saying goes, good things come in 3’s; and this week, there are 3 songs that make double-digit climbs in the countdown, and 3 songs that break into the Top 10:

Save the Last Dance for Me by the Drifters, which debuted last week at #39, dances up 10 places this week to #29.

Louie Louie by the Kingsmen climbs 13 notches from #23 to enter the Top 10 at #10.

Dream Lover by Bobby Darin only inches up 2 spots from #11 to #9, but it’s enough to earn him his 2nd Top 10 hit, following Mack the Knife.

And our biggest climber this week also enters the top 10:

Last week, Lesley Gore took over the #2 spot with It’s My Party. This week, It’s My Party plummets from #2 to #8, but who replaces her in the runner-up position? None other than Lesley Gore, who soars up 17 spots from #19 with You Don’t Own Me.

And the song that’s really got a hold on #1 for the 3rd straight week is:

:drummer:

You guessed it:

You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me, by the Miracles.

That concludes another edition of Golden Oldies Top 40, which is brought to you by the lovely folks here at www.songfacts.com . Until next week, keep your head in the stars :stars: and keep reaching for the ground :doh: . And leave your mouse right where it is.

Thanks CeeJay. Very entertaining as usual. :)

Thanks Lars for the great Playlist, and Kenne for finding that elusive clip. :)

We do welcome any feedback. Perhaps with the Site being slow some our regulars haven't had a look at this week's Chart yet ?
