THE SATURDAY SURVEY

 

"Can't Buy Me Love" moves into the #1 spot in its fourth week on the chart.  (What a ride ... #94 to #24 to #2 to #1!)

"Twist And Shout" slips down a notch to #2 and "She Loves You" hangs in there at #3 ... it has now been on The Super Chart for twelve weeks.

"I Want To Hold Your Hand" is still hanging in there, too ... it's locked in the #7 position, just ahead of The Dave Clark Five's "Glad All Over."  (The press is already playing up the rivalry between The Beatles and The DC5)

Both have other records on the chart this week ... 

The Dave Clark Five's "Bits And Pieces" sits at #27, up from #50 ...

And there doesn't seem to be any let up in Beatlemania ...

The Fab Four also have records at #10 ("Please Please Me"), #13 ("Do You Want To Know A Secret"), #41 ("Roll Over Beethoven), #45 ("All My Loving"), #51 ("You Can't Do That"), "#54 ("Thank You Girl"), "#60 ("From Me To You"), #68 ("I Saw Her Standing There") and #88 ("Love Me Do)

That makes THIRTEEN Top 100 Hits (and one new one bubbling under ... "There's A Place," the flip side of "Twist And Shout" premiers at #106.)

Other Brits on the chart this week include The Searchers ("Needles And Pins," #14), The Swinging Blue Jeans ("Hippy Hippy Shake," #22) and Dusty Springfield ("Stay Awhile," #49)

A fun one to watch ... "(Just Like) Romeo and Juliet" by The Reflections.  They're out of Detroit, Michigan ... and they're not even a black group signed to Motown!!!  This is a future Top Ten Record for sure!
