The Four Seasons manage to hold on the the #1 spot for another week with "Rag Doll." Meanwhile, The Beatles are hot on their tail with "A Hard Day's Night," the theme song from their brand new motion picture, which is now in theaters.
Two other British Invasion hits manage to hang out in The Top Ten this week as "Can't You See That She's Mine" by The Dave Clark Five slips to #8 while "Wishin' And Hopin'" by Dusty Springfield inches up to #9.
Other British acts represented this week include Peter and Gordon at #'s 13 and 23 with "Nobody I Know" and "A World Without Love" respectively ... BOTH tunes penned for them by Paul McCartney.
Gerry and the Pacemakers have a couple of hits on this week's chart, too ...
"Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying" slips to #15 ... but "How Do You Do It" looks like another smash, climbing from #74 to #53, a jump of 21 places.
Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas are now represented THREE TIMES on the Super Chart ...
"Bad To Me" hold on at #26, "Little Children" is ten notches behind at #36 while their latest, "I'll Keep Yo Satisfied," premiers at #100.
Cilla Black is at #29 with "You're My World," followed by The Bachelors, at #34 and "I Believe ...
While The Rolling Stones get their first Top 40 American Hit when "Tell Me" sneaks into The Top 40 at #39. ("Not Fade Away" has fallen to #90 now ... it's probably the last we'll be seeing of it.)
Chad and Jeremy still have the #52 hit with "Yesterday's Gone" ...
And The Beatles are represented here twice more with "I Should Have Known Better," a new debut at #76 (it's the B-Side of their soon-to-be chart-topper, "A Hard Day's Night" ... and represents more "movie music" from the film.) Speaking of more movie music, if you check "The Next Ten," you'll find "I'll Cry Instead," a song that was cut from the film and "Ringo's Theme," an instrumental by Producer George Martin that's essentially a reworking of The Fabs' "This Boy" from their "Meet The / With The Beatles album."
Meanwhile, their 1961 recording of "Ain't She Sweet" makes a 28 point leap from #85 to #57. (I still think this is a GREAT recording!)
Debuting at #92 is my very favorite Elvis recording ... "Such A Night," a tune originally done by The Drifters.
