  • Got a Good reason to post this old chart from 1966

    From Chris Brown@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 4 23:18:31 2021
    I wasn't planning to post one this week - especially not a frozen one
    (hence the lack of LW positions). But Gerry Marsden has died and that's
    an excuse to look back 55 years to their nominal last chart week. Len
    Barry, Spencer Davis and Wayne Fontana also died in recent months.
    Also notable here is the unexpected act with two songs in the Top 5 and
    not only are the Beatles topping the charts as performers, there are
    also covers of songs written by three of them. Sorry Ringo.
    Only one Christmas song in this chart.
