                   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
