1969 proved to be a VERY big year for Creedence Clearwater Revival, who placed five songs on the Year-End Top 69 of '69 Chart.
The Temptations saw four of their 1969 hits make the list (including a duet with Diana Ross and the Supremes).
The Beatles had three ... as did the new upstart group Blood, Sweat And Tears, who saw all three of their 1969 releases make the final countdown.
Tommy James and the Shondells scored two Top Ten finalists ... while The Fifth Dimension captured not only the year's top honor for "Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In," but also held down the #14 spot with "Wedding Bell Blues."
Also scoring two big year-end smashes were Elvis Presley, Oliver, Three Dog Night, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Glen Campbell and Sly and the Family Stone.
