AND, the next week (4/11), the Beatles would place 14 songs on the Hot 100. Could you imagine how many charted hits The Beatles would've had if Billboard had charted LP tracks back in the '60's? Lot's of local stations would chart LP tracks - it's fun to look at local radio charts from the '60's and see some of the stranger tracks that charted (itself a cool subject for a thread here!). www.las-solanas.com/arsa/surveys_item.php?svid=8273That radio chart is strange. It lists as the number one song what appears to be a Beatles single "Sie Liebt Dich"/" Cry For A Shadow." No such single exists. Is this a typo? |

If you look at the actual listing (the image to the right), the chart actually shows #1 as "Sie Liebt Dich, Cry For A Shadow and Beatle Jazz". So I wonder if they just took whatever random Beatles songs they happened to be playing at that time and lumped them all together at one spot, since the Beatles were between active singles at that time ("Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You" was on the way down, and "A Hard Day's Night" was still a few weeks away from release). |
