Eligibility of songs: * U.S. Charted Pop AND R&B Singles of the 1950s+ era, but not charted after 1963. * No Album Only Tracks or Uncharted B Sides. * U.S. Chart Links may be found for on Songfacts' Main Index page, where there are alphabetical links to many songs, either by Title or Artist. If your songs aren't there, you could use Google/Wikipedia - or PT OLD55 if in doubt. .................................................. IT'S EASY Allot your points in 3 sections: PART A: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #23 (below) you'd like to advance: (Plus) +5, +4, +3, +2, +1. PART B: 5 Existing songs in Top 40 #23 (below) you don't really care for, or you think could make way for other New songs.: (Minus) -5, -4, -3, -2, -1. PART C: 5 New Songs you'd like to see in the next Top 40: (Plus) *5, +4, +3, +2, +1.

OLD 55 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sorry Elena. That's why I made it "songs that charted in the U.S.A. to 1963", to avoid the 'British Invasion'. The Beatles didn't chart in the U.S. until 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 If anyone's having trouble thinking of NEW songs to vote for, why not browse our older Top 40s? I'm sure there's quite a few good ones that have been nominated but missed out. And if you still want ideas, try HERE. (Cash Box Charts of all eras).

OLD 55 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for voting edna, CJ, Laurie and Phil. Clever captions CeeJay, as tomorrow is the 40th Anniversary of the first man on the moon. Those of us who saw that on T.V. will always remember it I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well, I finally gave the last chance to my ever fave A. Alexander... Now if the Rolling Stones' cover was eligible...

OLD 55 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 As long as it doesn't get voted out straight away if it makes it. That's likely to happen with 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool' this week. Poor Connie Francis and Brenda Lee. The #1 and #2 female artists of the era we're voting on, and they can't get a song in our Top 40 for more than a week each !

OLD 55 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes she was great. How about re-nominating 'I'm Sorry' ? Or one of her other good ones. 'All Alone Am I', 'I Want To Be Wanted', 'Losing You', 'As Usual', etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
