MindCrime Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Good week, I'm pleased with the new additions, I had never really been familiar with the Crystals' "Then He Kissed Me" until I re-watched Goodfellas over the weekend and looked it up. I'm glad that it cracked the top half on it's debut. Ms. Gore, You Don't Own the top spot anymore! I wonder if that's the biggest plunge yet, from the #1 spot. Which songs have the record for highest jump and biggest plunge on these charts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberjudge Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hello again and welcome to Golden Oldies-Top 40. This is DJ Ceejay 3000 miles east of Hollywood, and we’re all set to count down the week’s favorite oldies. Last week, our top 3 was: Blue Velvet, by Bobby Vinton at #3, Dream Lover by Bobby Darin at #2, and You Don’t Own Me by Lesley (don’t call me Bobby) Gore at #1 for the 3rd straight week. Will those songs hold their positions? We’ll reveal that later in our show. Now on with the countdown! 3 songs drop out this week: Born Too Late by the Poni-Tails, which peaked at #31 last week, Sea of Love by Phil Phillips & the Twilights, a former #1 that spent a record-tying 19 weeks on the chart (BTW, the other songs to accomplish that feat are All I Have to Do Is Dream by the Everly Brothers; Runaway by Del Shannon; Stand by Me by Ben E. King; and Crying by Roy Orbison), and Poison Ivy by the Coasters, which reached the top 10, topping at #9. That makes room for 3 new songs, all by artists making their 1st GO-40 debuts: At #39, Connie Francis enters the chart with Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool. Little Richard makes his first appearance at #26 with Long Tall Sally. And the highest debut this week is at #20; Then He Kissed Me by the Crystals. 5 big movers take double digit leaps this week: Harry Belafonte tallies up a 13-notch climb in its 2nd week with The Banana Boat Song (Day-O) from #38 to #25, Also in its 2nd week, Hello Mary Lou by Ricky Nelson says hello to a 12-point gain from #35 to #23. The Crests move up 18 positions from #36 to #18 in their 2nd week with 16 Candles. And a song that had appeared to have stalled 2 weeks ago at #25, Sea Cruise by Frankie Ford, makes a dramatic turnaround this week, shooting up 12 places from #29 to a new peak at #17. And one more song that refused to “stay†at 21 we’ll hear from a little later. There are 4 new songs in the Top 10 this week, tying a record for most top 10 debuts (not counting the 1st countdown) set in week #2 and tied in weeks #6 and 21. At #10, Doris Troy gets a look at the top 10 with Just One Look. Skeeter Davis successfully ends her quest for a top 10, moving up to #9 with The End of the World, Jerry Lee Lewis fires up the chart to #8 with Great Balls of Fire, And skyrocketing 17 notches from #21 to #4 is Stay by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs, which ties it with You Don’t Own Me in week 18 (#19 to #2) for the biggest jump to get into the top 5. While we’re mentioning You Don’t Own Me, that song sets another chart record this week, although a dubious one. Up ‘til now, the song with the biggest drop from the #1 position was Crying by Roy Orbison, which fell from #1 to #5 in week 11. This week, Lesley Gore’s You Don’t Own Me smashes that by falling 18 notches, all the way down to #19. That brings us to the top 3: Dion moves up from #6 to #3 with Runaround Sue. , who has not had a song in the top 2 since week 1, when Don’t Be Cruel and Hound Dog were 1-2, finally makes it back to #2 with Little Sister. And that brings us to the new #1 song on Golden Oldies Top 40: Blue Velvet, by Bobby Vinton. That “raps†up another edition of Golden Oldies top 40. My thanks as always to Darryl and the entire crew at songfacts.com . Until next week, keep your head in the stars and keep reaching for the ground.
