cyberjudge Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well, folks, it’s time once again for another edition of Golden Oldies Top 40. I’m your host, DJ Ceejay, and I’ll be bringing you this week’s countdown of oldies favorites, as voted on songfacts.com. Last week, Stevie Wonder vaulted into the #1 spot with Fingertips (Part II). Will he keep his grip on the #1 spot? We’ll find out in just a bit. 2 songs drop out this week: Walk Like a Man by the 4 Seasons walks out like a man after 13 weeks and a top-20 (#19) peak. And Frosty the Snowman melts away … but he’ll be back again someday! 2 songs enter the chart this week … but it’s déjà vu all over again, as both are re-entries of big hits by “Little†artists! Little Eva chugs back into our countdown at #39, with a song penned by Carole King & Gerry Goffin, The Loco-Motion. And Little Richard sallies forth into our chart at #34 with a song he previously took to #5, Long Tall Sally. TW 31 LW 34 (12) DUKE OF EARL GENE CHANDLER TW 32 LW 36 (10) MACK THE KNIFE BOBBY DARIN TW 33 LW 30 (5) RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER GENE AUTRY TW 34 R/E (15) LONG TALL SALLY LITTLE RICHARD TW 35 LW 35 (12) GREENFIELDS BROTHERS FOUR TW 36 LW 32 (5) THE CHIPMUNK SONG THE CHIPMUNKS TW 37 LW 33 (5) SANTA BABY EARTHA KITT TW 38 LW 28 (6) WHITE CHRISTMAS BING CROSBY TW 39 R/E (3) THE LOCO-MOTION LITTLE EVA TW 40 LW 37 (4) I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS JIMMY BOYD Nat King Cole has 3 songs in the top 30 this week; he rambles up 6 spots from #31 to #25 with Ramblin’ Rose, and 10 positions from #40 to #30 with Unforgetttable. TW 21 LW 19 (17) THE WANDERER DION TW 22 LW 22 (6) ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE BRENDA LEE TW 23 LW 16 (16) PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON PETER, PAUL&MARY TW 24 LW 21 (6) JINGLE BELL ROCK BOBBY HELMS TW 25 LW 31 (12) RAMBLIN' ROSE NAT 'KING' COLE TW 26 LW 27 (15) TOO YOUNG NAT 'KING' COLE TW 27 LW 24 (16) MY SPECIAL ANGEL BOBBY HELMS TW 28 LW 29 (17) STAGGER LEE LLOYD PRICE TW 29 LW 25 (15) DEEP PURPLE NINO TEMPO & APRIL STEVENS TW 30 LW 40 (2) UNFORGETTABLE NAT KING COLE Guy Mitchell held the #5 spot on our very 1st chart with Singing the Blues. Now, 47 weeks, later, he re-enters the top 20, up from #26 to #19. TW 11 LW 7 (16) BLOWIN' IN THE WIND PETER, PAUL & MARY TW 12 LW 11 (11) HE’S SO FINE CHIFFONS TW 13 LW 3 (15) BLUE ON BLUE BOBBY VINTON TW 14 LW 12 (13) ONE FINE DAY CHIFFONS TW 15 LW 14 (12) WHERE THE BOYS ARE CONNIE FRANCIS TW 16 LW 15 (11) KEEP SEARCHIN' DEL SHANNON TW 17 LW 18 (13) TWO FACES HAVE I LOU CHRISTIE TW 18 LW 13 (16) SILHOUETTES RAYS TW 19 LW 26 (14) SINGING THE BLUES GUY MITCHELL TW 20 LW 10 (17) ALL THE WAY FRANK SINATRA It’s taken a while, but we finally have a major shake up in the top 10 this week, with 3 new entries: Chuck Berry finally catches his 1st top 10, up from #17 to #10 with You Can’t Catch Me. Sam Cooke, who had a #1 with Chain Gang, notches his 2nd top 10 with the week’s biggest mover, up 14 spots from #23 to #9 is Twistin’ the Night Away. And the Drifters, who previously hit #8 with Up on the Roof, match that position as On Broadway drives 12 places from #20 to #8. TW 4 LW 8 (9) TAKE FIVE DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET TW 5 LW 2 (14) POOR LITTLE FOOL RICKY NELSON TW 6 LW 6 (13) JUDY'S TURN TO CRY LESLEY GORE TW 7 LW 4 (11) TOWN WITHOUT PITY GENE PITNEY TW 8 LW 20 (3) ON BROADWAY DRIFTERS TW 9 LW 23 (3) TWISTIN THE NIGHT AWAY SAM COOKE TW 10 LW 17 (10) YOU CAN’T CATCH ME CHUCK BERRY Now for the top 3: Stevie Wonder makes it only a 1-week stop at #1 as he falls to #3 with Fingertips (Part II). Brenda Lee takes her biggest hit to #2, I’m Sorry. TW 2 LW 5 (11) I’M SORRY BRENDA LEE TW 3 LW 1 (10) FINGERTIPS (PART II) STEVIE WONDER And now for a new #1. Last week, Fingertips (Part II) went from #6 to #1, the biggest jump to #1 since Del Shannon’s Runaway in week #3. This week, our new #1 soars all the way from the #9 spot right to the top. The new #1 on Golden Oldies Top 40 is: TW 1 LW 9 (8) IT’S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE CONWAY TWITTY That concludes this week's countdown on Golden Oldies Top 40. We'll have just 2 more countdowns before our grand finale, the Ultimate Golden Oldies Top 40. Until next time, keep your head in the stars and keep reaching for the ground.
