Maybe we need a new definition of March Madness (especially since there won't be any this year)...listening to too many Countdown Shows--anyway, here is one you can add to your list--It is the Top 40 pop singles from Cash Box for the week ending March 15, 1969. The countdown includes songs from A (Aretha Franklin) to Z (The Zombies)--
Enjoy the show--
Joe

This was a weird Top 40, Joe. No Beatles or Stones or Elvis or Beach Boys and even the Motown artists were down on average, after their incredible end of 1968. So lots of room for strange songs, even Frankie Laine! What was THAT all about!  It didn't really feel like "1969" until all those Hair songs appeared. They must have been just about to do that at this point. Maybe I am projecting my own memory of my mood at this time. Traces! OMG I was 12 and was broken-hearted over some girl and that song was on ALL the time - every night. God. It was like listening to the Hungarian Suicide Song. I'm rooting for 1968 next. I was in a much much better mood then. |

Thanks Joe for the 1969 countdown. It was really great to hear the long version of "Crimson and Clover." This song had the distinction of taking the biggest drop off the chart on BB (sorry to digress as I know this is a CB thread). It dropped on BB off the Hot 100 from #18, and held that record until 1972 when Nights In White Satin dropped off the Hot 100 from position 17 (BB).

Thanks for the countdown Joe. Heard it twice, enjoyed it twice.
Great hearing Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why' as a bonus. The rest of the story is that the record would chart again three months later, peaking at #4. This time it was on the strength of the "B" side "My Cherie Amour".
Also great to hear the Nazz's "Hello it's Me" as a bonus. It is also a "B" side. The "A" side, "Open My Eyes" is a killer tune that Bubbled Under in the fall of 1968.

Since Kenny Rogers passed away over the week end, I posted a countdown featuring his first hit with the group The First Edition. It's from the Cash Box chart for the week ending March 30, 1968-- archive.org/details/1968033001By the way, the song at #1 didn't reach the top in Billboard. Thanks-- Joe |

Thanks for the extra show, Joe. It is good to have more options to listen to at this time.

Ame Caline (Soul Coaxing) by Raymond Lefevere spent two weeks in the Cash Box Top 40 in April 1968 peaking at #36. Unfortunately, these were countdowns I did not record for the CBC series.

If you are needing a little humor in your life right now, you should listen to the song at #34 from the Cash Box chart for the week ending March 27, 1965. In addition, over a dozen foreign acts are on the countdown as the British invasion continues on the American charts. archive.org/details/1965032701 |

We chart watchers all know that the Beatles occupied the Top 5 positions during the first week of April, 1964--but what about the following week. Here is the Top 40 from Cash Box Magazine for the week ending April 11, 1964. By the way,my favorite version of the song Ebb Tide is at #39. In addition, check out the bonus song by the Four Preps during hour #1. archive.org/details/1964041101/1964041101.wmaJoe |

Going back 50 years ago, here are the Top 40 songs from Cash Box magazine for the week ending April 11, 1970. As the world continues to practice social distancing, the song at #35 is sorta eerily prophetic--especially if you've seen the pictures of nearly empty cities. The song at #31 never reached the Top 40 in Billboard and you'll hear from an artist that had 4 #2 hits on the Cash Box chart but never reached #1.
Enjoy,
Joe

Thanks, Joe. I'll plan on listening to the show in the next few days. Is the show for the week ending May 11th or is it April 11th?
