Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders take over the #1 spot with the totally catchy and addictive "Game Of Love."
The Brits claim the top four spots on the chart this week ... with three other tracks also lodged in The Top Ten.
That's 70%! (Talk about your chart domination!)

"Count Me In" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys (they're up 17 places!)
"Silhouettes" by Herman's Hermits (up 14 spots, moving from #27 to #13 ... and giving Peter Noone and Company TWO huge movers in The Top 20.)

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
4/19/65 – The Beatles’ new single, “Ticket To Ride,” is released on Capitol Records. It will go straight to #1 on the charts.
The label will show the song as appearing in their new film “Eight Arms To Hold You” …
The movie, of course, was released as “Help!” in August
Also on 4/19, the album “Whipped Cream And Other Delights” is released by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
(Have you seen this album cover before? It's pretty cool!!!)
Also on 4/19, the outer ceiling of the brand new Astrodome is painted because the glare is making fielding fly balls hazardous to the players.
Once the roof is painted ... at a cost of $20,000 ... the reflection of sun’s glare will cause the grass to die ... at which point the grass will be replaced by artificial turf ... ASTRO Turf!!!
