Here is an early Halloween treat--it's the Top 40 pop hits from 50 years ago from the Cash Box chart, for the week ending November 1, 1969. The 1960's are coming to a close but there is no hint of the direction that pop music would take in the 1970's (yet).
There are still about 40 shows to be posted in this series of countdown shows that feature the hits from every month from January 1964-June 1970 (the Beatles years).

Joe, I'm still trying to get over the October 1964 countdown. Very depressing. Death Of An Angel and Last Kiss and back-to-back, Don Covay and Marvin Gaye both singing that they were going to jump into a river over some girl (presumably two different girls). And Leader Of The Pack and Ringo were on the way. Yikes!  |

Great new show, Joe! Thanks for the Thanksgiving treat! Glad you enjoyed the show 1finemrg--
For the rest of you, be sure to check out the Cash Box Countdown from the last week of November 1965--
The show features 10 debut songs, a song that reached #1 in Cash Box but not in Billboard or Record World--and a bonus song that is one of my favorite Top 10 hits from 1963.
By the way, you can probably tell I was just getting over a cold when I recorded this show.
Happy Thanksgiving to all--
Joe

I just finished listening to the 12-18-65 Cashbox Countdown, and what a difference "A Taste of Honey" was on Cashbox vs Billboard. CB had it at #1, while TOH had slipped to #14 on BB. Comparing the charts, can anyone else find a larger variance with the #1 song being as 13 positions lower?

Comparing the charts, can anyone else find a larger variance with the #1 song being as 13 positions lower? How about a 20-notch discrepancy? On 9/24/77, "Best of My Love" by the Emotions rebounded from #3 to #1 in Billboard, while it slipped from #15 to #21 in Cash Box. |

You're The One That I Want by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John reached the top spot on the Record World Singles chart on July 29, 1978. The single was at #19 that week on Cash Box and was at #44 on the Billboard chart. The song had reached #1 on the Billboard chart a full 8 weeks earlier. I have said in the past that Record World's charts were the least accurate, IMO, starting about the mid-1970's; especially outside of the Top 10. Although I was surprised when they went under in April 1982--since they had lost most of their credibility a few years earlier, it was not totally unexpected.

Joe this was a great surprise as I got to work today. Thanks for these great shows. That was a cool coincidence with Johnny Rivers and those posts last week! (unless my post inspired your comment, that is  |

I also enjoyed the countdown as well, and was really surprised to see that "A Letter To My Teenage Son" dropped from 6 to 40--what a plunge! OK, Joe and Doofus, is this a record for the biggest drop within the Top 40? I always love both of your insights to the CB charts! Holidays blessing to all!

I think the 34 position plunge for that spoken word recording is the biggest drop I am aware of but perhaps Mike knows of a bigger one with in the Top 40. I know that a few songs dropped out of the top 40 from the Top 10--but as you suggest this is probably the biggest drop within the 40. |
