Thank you for recreating this vid after Top Culture's version got removed! Unfortunately, they seem to have become disillusioned with music as a whole. Hopefullly they realize like Cat Stevens that we can appreciate great music regardless of our beliefs.
I noticed there was no song listed for Feb. of 1961. Was that a mistake? Or was the song in January the most popular in back-to-back months? Same thing for January of 1967, October of 1968, and January of 1969.
Songs from 1960 have always been categorized as 1960’s songs. Society doesn’t always follow the rules. The beginning of the new millennium was celebrated New Years eve, 1999.
Hey Jude was #1 for NINE WEEKS. Yesterday for FOUR WEEKS. Also the omission of every band that played at Woodstock. This list has a lot of pure junk on it. Certainly not the ALBUM rock and roll everyone was listening to after 1966. No Led Zeppelin. No Jimi Hendrix, Joplin, The Who, Cream, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, etc. I lived through it all and we kids weren't listening to most of the crap here. Some people were buying - and maybe that got some AM RADIO stuff to number one. But not us kids on the cutting edge - and our music is what is remembered.
Except I grew up in a small town and the only rock we heard was on our local pop station. I didn't get to hear real rock until the mid 70s when all my peers turned me onto it with their albums.
You are obviously confused about the point of this list. It is a list of the songs that were #1 on the charts for each month during the 60s. These are the singles that everyone was buying during the 60s.
@@TracyJean1972 Hey Jude's nine-week run at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 tied the all-time record in 1968 for the longest run at the top of the US charts, a record it held for nine years. If you pay attention, Harper Valley PTA (Sept 21 1968) is followed by Love Child on (November 30). So there is purposeful removal of very notable history those of use who lived it, remember it, and track down the ploys.
Weird, Harper Valley PTA was #1 in September '68 when it was only #1 for 1 week while Hey Jude was #1 for the next 9. In actuality, Hey Jude was the top song two months in a row. That's true. So, this list is fake.
I agree. Also lists like this ignore the rise of Album Rock - notice the absence of the Who, Crosby Stills and Nash, Hendrix, Joplin, Cream, Led Zeppelin, and so many more much more influential artists. Lists like this are a rewriting of my own history and it is wrong. Also Harper Valley PTA was just trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Ode to Billy Joe, which also never appears on these lists.
I would have voted for Eisenhower both times, Kennedy, Goldwater, Nixon both times, Carter, Reagan both times, Dukakis, Bush in 92, Clinton in '96, Bush 43 both times... I've voted for Obama both times, Hilldawg, Great Uncle Joe and in 2024 leaving it blank (not voting for a ugly person on the inside and ugly person on the inside and outside)
Excellent sampling of the number 1's of the decade. Will wait for more.
Thanks For Sharing!
Thanks you!

I can still watch Top Culture's video. With no problem. 🇨🇦
Now, that’s what I’m talking about!
Cool video! can you please just make “Most Popular Song Each Month in the 70s” for us, next?
Thank you, I'll do it!
Great stuff. They were incredible years! My thanks to the list maker.
How could you not have "the Wanderer " By Dion and the Belmonts>1961? You are FIRED.
I love you guys

I wonder the same thing and I'm surprised particularly Hey Jude was left out of this video
One more thing. The '60s started Jan. 1, 1961 and ended Dec. 31, 1970. Pay attention.

Maybe 60s ended in 1972 when first disco songs came out
