Doofus67 did a great job of posting his fantasy top 10 this last year. It inspired me to post my fantasy top 10s starting with the Beatle years this year. Beginning with 1964, here is what weekly top 10s would have been if I were the director of BB's chart department and I could tamper with the chart.
Jan. 4, 1964
TW Title - Artist
1 Louie Louie - The Kingsmen
2 Since I Fell For You - Lenny Welch
3 Popsicles And Icicles - Murmaids
4 Quicksand - Martha & the Vandellas
5 The Nitty Gritty – Shirey Ellis
6 Talk Back Trembling Lips - Johnny Tillotson
7 Drag City – Jan and Dean
8 Surfin’ Bird - Trashmen
