What group had 6 Top 10 hits during 1965, find out by listening to the Top 40 pop singles from the week ending November 13, 1965 as listed in Cash Box Magazine I know the answer to that, but I won't spoil it. EDIT: OK, I think it's safe to reveal it now. The six records were "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat", "Silhouettes", "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter", "Wonderful World", "I'm Henry the VIII, I Am," and "Just a Little Bit Better." Of course, ya know I'm talkin' about 'Erman's 'Ermits. |

Mean old anti-virus (  )--I streamed the show this morning and had no issues. Maybe it didn't like the song that was coming up on the countdown.  Joe |

Happy New Year to one and all. Let's go back exactly 50 years ago this week and to the Top 40 pop singles for the week ending January 11, 1969 according to Cash Box Magazine. Motown records dominate the Top 10 occupying 5 positions and there are two versions of the same song in the countdown, as well--
(Oh yeah, the songwriter that wrote Dion's Abraham, Martin & John wrote another song from the '60's--listen to the show to find out what it is)  As we said back in the '60's--Groovy, man-- Joe |

Love the Motown domination of the Top 10. Gotta point out the debut single for a band who would dominate the singles charts the first half of the 70s. It was at #82 in its seventh week on the charts. It would move up to #80 the following week before bowing out. Record World loved it a little more (peaking at #72), but it received absolutely no love from Billboard. It bubbled under for 1 week at #116. Nobody - Three Dog NightThe "B" side of the 45 showcases their three-head vocal harmony a-cappella style. Written by Lennon/McCartney but not recorded by the Beatles, it was a UK Top 10 (#79 Billboard) for Cilla Black. In the 70s, the group Springwell would make it to #60 with their version. It's For You - Three Dog Night |

The Cash Box Countdown for the week ending February 10, 1968 (51 years ago) features a vocal version of a song we all probably know best as an instrumental hit. In addition, the show starts with two former number one hits in a year that only saw 23 songs go to the top of the chart.
Enjoy the show,
Joe

It's hard to believe but it has been 49 years since Apollo 11 landed on the moon, and we have an eclipse of the moon coming up in a few days. I remember watching the moon landing coverage and then going outside looking up at the moon and realizing that there were two men walking around on the moon. The Top 40 pop singles on the Cash Box chart for the week ending July 26, 1969 features a few interesting songs: The last Top 40 hit of the 1960's for the Beach Boys, a break in record about the moon landing, and an instrumental from a soap opera that was one of the most talked about shows (Dark Shadows). archive.org/details/011969072601I hope these shows continue to keep the hits of the 1960's alive. Thanks for listening, Joe I've been listening to your shows all week. Last night I listened to this one and when it was over I was wondering - hey what happened to A Boy Named Sue and Marakesh Express? I remember those from the Summer of 69. So I checked Billboard and it turns out they both debuted in the Top 40 this week. So I guess they must have hit Cashbox the next week. I wonder how many other times someone on the front page (Teddy) had a song about his niece in the Top 40 at the same time? |

"A Boy Named Sue" would jump 56-31 in its second week on Cashbox, and "Marrakesh Express" would move from 46-36 during week 4 of its chart run. They were 2 of 6 debut songs on the August 2, 1969 chart. |

They were 2 of 6 debut songs on the August 2, 1969 chart. Johnny Cash's A Boy Named Sue made it to #2 in September of 1969 (in both Billboard and Cash Box,although it went to # 1 in Record World) ans Marakesh Express eventually peaked at #19 (17 in RW and 28 in BB).
I am in the process of recording the last Cash Box Countdown and when they are all posted there should be about 100 shows running from January 1964-June 1970.
Glad to see you are enjoying the programs (and certainly music from the 1960's).
Joe

Joe do you mean you want to stop the Cashbox Countdown ?
Maybe a new show on the run : The Record World Countdown ?

Joe do you mean you want to stop the Cashbox Countdown ? Maybe a new show on the run : The Record World Countdown ? Yes, the Cash Box Countdown will be ending soon; however, there are still about 40 shows that have been recorded that haven't been posted yet.
The original intent of doing the shows was to cover the pop singles charts during the Beatles years (Jan 1964-Jun 1970)--about one chart for each month; and with this last show I will have accomplished that.
Thanks to all of you that have listened (and have offered some terrific feed back).
Joe
