Make it five weeks and counting for "I Want To Hold Your Hand," still the #1 Record in the country.
"She Loves You" slips in right behind it at #2.
Other Beatles tracks on the move ... "Please Please Me" finally makes a major jump this week, shooting from #46 to #24, while "I Saw Her Standing There" climbs from #66 to #52 and "My Bonnie" is up another ten spots to #58.
Dusty Springfield is still climbing the ranks ... "I Only Want To Be With You" now sits at #18 while Cliff Richard's "It's All In The Game" slips to #32.
Meanwhile, The Dave Clark Five are up 22 places (from #78 to #56) with their first US hit, "Glad All Over."
And The Beach Boys prove again that America still has a few popular hit groups of its own as "Fun Fun Fun" climbs from #67 to #36, a move of 31 places!
