All members of Songfacts are most welcome to vote and help create next week's Top 40. Don't be shy. It may look a little complicated, but it's not really. You don't have to be an 'oldie' - just someone who appreciates this kind of music.

* 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 #26 (below) you'd like to advance:

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

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

Thanks to all who've voted. :)

Isn't it wonderful to see Ian/CanAm with us. :thumbsup: Welcome back Mate.

Now just a small thing. I've PT'd Phil because Move It On Over was a Country Hit for Hank Williams, but not Pop or R & B. Okay ! So he might be able to replace that.
