Congratulations to Ron Dante and The Archies for topping the list with "Sugar Sugar," a runaway favorite ... and to The 1910 Fruitgum Company for placing FIVE songs on the countdown, including TWO in The Top Five!!!
Other multiple chart entries were recorded by Tommy Roe and The Ohio Express (who each had four), Bobby Sherman (who had three), Ron Dante, who had TWO with The Archies and one more with The Cuff Links ... as well as Andy Kim, Tommy James and the Shondells, The Cowsills, The Lemon Pipers and Tony Burrow (who handled the lead vocals on the hits by the fictitious groups Edison Lighthouse and White Plains.)
From Ron Dante:
60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
10/6/64, The Beatles begin recording “Eight Days A Week.” Although it was never released as a single in Great Britain, here in the States it went straight to #1, where it stayed for three weeks in March of 1965.
Later that same evening, they would meet up with The Ronettes and Mick Jagger at The Ad Lib Club in London.
Also on 10/6 – Bobby Rydell appears in an episode of “Combat”
