THE SATURDAY SURVEY

 

BRITISH INVASION WATCH:

"I Want To Hold Your Hand" holds on to the #1 spot for a fourth straight week ... while "She Loves You" is up five spots to #3.  (Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" is at #2 for its third straight week.)

Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want To Be With You" is up ten more places to #26 while Cliff Richard's "It's All In The Game" is right behind it at #27.

"Please Please Me" sits outside The Top 40 at #46 (that's a move of eleven places) while "I Saw Her Standing There" jumps 22 spots (from #88 to #66) and even "My Bonnie" (the track the recorded with Tony Sheridan back in 1960) is up 21 notches to #68.

Brand new on the chart is "Glad All Over" by The Dave Clark Five ... they will appear on "The Ed Sullivan Show" next month and soon become the darlings of The British Invasion in Ed's eyes, ultimately appearing on his program eighteen times over the years.

And "From Me To You" is still "bubbling under" at #106.

Meanwhile, we were right about "Dawn" ... the new Four Seasons' record jumps twenty places from #31 to #11 this week.  And The Beach Boys have this week's top debut as their latest, "Fun Fun Fun" premiers at #67.
