60's Satellite Survey

[jgve1952]

This past weekend, Dave Hoeffel featured the Top 40 from 12-13-69. This is the closest he has been to the actual week. He has been two to three weeks ahead of the actual date when played, but this one was right on time since it first aired on 12-8-18. He played the album version of Whole Lotta Love, and both the A and B sides of Down on the Corner and Come Together. Only minor complaint I have is that he doesn't state next week's show--both Lou and Ken would give next week's featured date. So far since he took the reigns, he has played 1961, 1967, 1966 and 1969. He did a Thanksgiving special where he featured the biggest hits on the charts at that time. If you missed this past weekend, its replayed on Wednesday at 9pm

Dave did a great 60's Satellite Survey for 1965, but it was a little in the future. He featured 1965, but he utilized the BB chart of 1-1-66, which actually is two weeks ahead of this week. Still a great show, and for anyone who is interested, it will repeat Wednesday evening at 9p.m. EST.

If you happened to be listening to Lou Simon's talk show, The Diner, last night, you heard Lou's sneak preview of this coming Saturday's Survey. 

He revealed that it'll be a countdown of the top 40 Christmas time hits of the decade, that the list was compiled by a regular listener of both shows, Mike from Riverside, California.  That would be me.  I put this together with help from Wikipedia and especially from Dann Isbell's fine book, Ranking the '60s: A Comprehensive Listing of the Top Songs and Acts from Pop's Golden Decade.  Dann's work, and that of his associate, Bill Carroll, are very often put to use for special countdowns like this.

I don't want to give away too much, but while there is quite a bit of overlap between the song selection for this episode and the Thanksgiving hits special that aired a few weeks back, there will be some pleasant surprises.  That list included any and all songs that were charting on Thanksgiving of each year from 1960 through 1969.  My list is restricted to just those records that peaked in the last two weeks before Christmas and the first two weeks after.  So, for example, the #1 song will be different, and you'll hear stuff you never hear anywhere else but on this program.

Hope you can catch it "live" this Saturday at 2 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Pacific.  If not, that's OK.  It repeats on Sunday at 10 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific, and next Wednesday, the day after Christmas, at 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific.  And of course, it will be available on-demand. 

Enjoy, fellow chart nerds!

The Christmas songs show is underway. I have to say, just from hearing the first 20 to 25 minutes, it's a good, solid collection of tunes!

[djjoe1960]

Congrats, Mike (doofus67). The show (as you said) is sounding great. Glad to know that SiriusXM actually took your suggestion (and chart list) to turn it into a countdown.

Well, thanks, but...

I must give credit where it's due.  The Christmas countdown was more Lou Simon's idea than mine.  After the Thanksgiving hits special aired, just for giggles, I compiled my own version of that list, using the point system that Dann Isbell and Bill Carroll devised for their follow-up book, Ranking the '70s.  That was the only one of their books I owned at the time. 

I e-mailed my version to Lou.  He put on his executive producer hat.  Without missing a beat -- and with no lack of a sense of urgency -- he asked me to whip up a Christmas countdown list.  I wanted to get it right, so I purchased my own copy of the 60s book, then went to work.  Around 1 a.m. last Thursday, it was ready.  Then, as I said, this past Sunday night, Lou put out the word that my new list would be used for the countdown...for real.

Last night, my SoCal guy, 60s on 6 DJ Shotgun Tom Kelly, gave me a bit of a scare.  He announced that today's Survey would be the overall top 40 songs of the entire decade.  It turns out, that's next week's show.  (Yes, Dave Hoeffel actually teased it.  Probably 'cuz they're not reusing either episode.)

This idea is overdue, especially after all the years that the Survey has been on the air.  And how much simpler could it be to put together?  Just turn to page four of Ranking the '60s, and there ya have 'em!

So, was that enough obnoxious name dropping for one post, or what?

[doofus67]

This past weekend, the special Survey was the top 40 hits of the 60s, plain and simple.

Their list was taken straight from the book Ranking the 60s: A Comprehensive Listing of the Top Songs and Acts from Pop's Golden Decade, written and compiled by Dann Isbell.

Just out of curiosity, I went back to Billboard's list of the top songs of all time, published in August to mark the 60th anniversary of the Hot 100, and pulled the top 40 songs that peaked during the 60s.

The rankings are side by side. Satellite Survey / RT60s on the left, Billboard anniversary on the right:

[doofus67]

Today's countdown was pulled from the Hot 100 chart of 1/27/68.

Two upwardly mobile songs in the upper reaches -- the Stone Poneys' "Different Drum" and the Lemon Pipers' "Green Tambourine" -- reminded me of a chart anomaly.

The only time in the Hot 100 era that two records with musical instruments in their titles occupied the top ten simultaneously was in the spring of 1959. Dave "Baby" Cortez had "The Happy Organ", while the Virtues had "Guitar Boogie Shuffle." At one point, they were back to back, at #5 and #6.

Now ya know...

Thank you very much Doofus67 !

Lou Simon played the same chart ( with more extras ) in 2016.
Too bad Dave Hoeffel choosed that date again.

[doofus67]

[Interesting note about #9, that ties in with a recent topic on The Diner with Lou Simon.  Depending on where and when the 45 was pressed, "To Be Loved by You" either was or wasn't a parenthetical subtitle.  I decided to write it Joel Whitburn's way.]

Again, a chart used by lou Simon ( in 2016 ).

[djjoe1960]

While I enjoy the information and music featured on the 60's SS, I wish they were more honest about the week they are doing. Dave kept saying these were the hits from January 1965, when in my opinion they should have used the chart from the week before (January 30, 1965).
