Billboard’s Hot 100, The Top Ten: April 19, 1964



                   Billboard’s Hot 100

The Top Ten

April 19, 1964: 

  

 With The Beatles “Can’t Buy Me Love” holding the #1 spot, “Twist and Shout” in at #2 ,  Do You Want To Know A Secret”  at #5 and “She Loves You”    hangin’ in there at #8, holding four ‘Top Ten’ spots on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart…So who else was in that Top Ten? We listened to more than The Beatles!


Holding strong at #3 (after breaking up the record breaking holding of the whole top five by The Beatles a few weeks earlier) is Terry Stafford’s "Suspicion,” a song written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. It was one of 25 songs Pomus and Shuman wrote for Elvis Presley…
Louis Armstrong and his All Star Band grabbed the #4 spot with “Hello Dolly”…  

 

 

Betty Everett’s “The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)” holds on tight to the #6 spot…



The Dave Clark Five is up from the eight spot to #7 with “Glad All Over”…

A group by the name of The Serendipity Singers were at #8 with “Don't Let The Rain Come Down (Crooked Little Man)”… 


Jan and Dean made a stop at #10 that week, on the way up the chart with the classic
 “Deadman’s Curve”…



The Beatles were HOT but Americans still ROCKED the April 19, 1964 charts in
THE EVOLUTION OF ROCK ‘n ROLL…
