9:00 Released in four separate languages in late 1964, "Downtown" was a success in the UK, France (in both the English and the French versions), the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, and Italy, and Rhodesia, Japan, and India as well. During a visit to London, Warner Bros. executive Joe Smith heard it and acquired the rights for the United States."Downtown" went to number one on the American charts in January 1965, and 3 million copies were sold in the United States.

Blimey 1992 had some utterly forgettable nothing songs at no 1. The only one of any stature was Whitney Houston

Nancy Sinatra-My bootS" and anything done with Frank were by far the worst. there were songs I did not like because i did not recognize the performer and though whoever it was was no loss because he/she was terrible

I thought music was bad in the 90s in the US but I had no idea of the depravity shown here. There are almost three dozen techno/rave songs here with the same tempo AND the same chord progression. And I had no idea the penchant that John Bull's have for novelty songs. There are eight I count here. Then there are the abominations known as "Take That" and "Boyzone". And even the handful of "artists" here that have any talent, like George Michael and U2, have some of their worst songs that made it to Number One. Watching this and the Number 1 singles of the 90s USA, you can see the Decline of Western Civilization. Sad...

90% of these were teen bands or singers. Obviously record companies were going for the younger demographics and a lot were manufactured bands were they didn't know each other prior (as opposed to old bands which were friends who started off as a garage band).

(PART 3) We are now in the final months of New Musical Express' and Melody Maker's own independently-compiled charts. The latter threw in the towel after the 4 June issue; the former - the last truly left standing - followed the next week. In each week after, both began publishing the "Network Top 50" from MRIB. So here we go: - "Beat Dis" by Bomb The Bass (NME, MM) - "Together Forever" by Rick Astley (NME, MM - the last "other" #1 to top these respective charts before being discontinued) The remaining "other" #1's in this period were MRIB only: - "The Twist (Yo, Twist)" by the Fat Boys With Chubby Checker - "We Call It Acieed" by D Mob Featuring Gary Haisman - "Leave Me Alone" by Michael Jackson - "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Simply Red - "Eve Of The War" by Jeff Wayne - "Get A Life" by Soul II Soul In this stretch, those "official" #1's that did not top the other side were "(A) Groovy Kind Of Love" and "Let's Party."

(PART 3) We now take a look at the "other" #1's of the 1968-69 period, which saw Record Retailer and the BBC combine to give birth to what we now call the "Official Charts" in February 1969 - and in September, Top Pops becoming Top Pops & Music Now! As you can see as we go along, TP's / TP/MN's add-on changed the game in quite a few cases. With New Musical Express and Melody Maker, here's what in this period topped the "other" charts: - "Help Yourself" by Tom Jones (NME) - "This Guy's In Love With You" by Herb Alpert (MM) - "Eloise" by Barry Ryan (NME, MM; the last "other" #1 prior to the start-up of the "official" charts) - "My Sentimental Friend" by Herman's Hermits (TP; first #1 only to top their chart, and first post-"Official" "other" #1) - "Oh Happy Day" by The Edwin Hawkins Singers (TP) - "In The Ghetto" by Elvis Presley (NME, MM, TP; the first of the "official" era to make #1 on every chart but that) - "Saved By The Bell" by Robin Gibb (TP) - "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder (TP) - "Don't Forget To Remember" by The Bee Gees (TP/MN) - "Oh Well" by Fleetwood Mac (NME, TP/MN) - "(Call Me) Number One" by The Tremeloes (TP/MN; was to be that publication's last 'unique' #1) - "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" by Stevie Wonder (NME, MM) - "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" by Kenny Rogers And The First Edition (NME, TP/MN) "Official" #1's - solely Record Retailer up to February 1969, the BMRB / RR / BBC chart thereafter - that failed to top any of the others in this period were "I Pretend" and "Do It Again." Had not TP / TP/MN been included in this equation, the list of "official only" #1's would have also included "Fire" and "Je T'aime . . . Moi Non Plus"; but since these topped both there and TP / TP/MN, that's therefore two less in that count. Note the six #1's that only did so in TP / TP/MN; 1969 was to be the only year they pulled this feat, one that would never be repeated in the publication's all-too-short history. TP/MN also allowed two legacy British acts - Herman's Hermits and The Tremeloes - to have what would be their last singles to top any UK chart. These were a definite add-on to what topped "officially."

(Part 3) And now, winding down this wild and crazy decade, those that made #1 in either New Musical Express and/or Melody Maker, that were in addition to those that were on the throne "officially": - "Sandy" by John Travolta (MM) - "Chiquitita" by ABBA (NME) - "Oliver's Army" by Elvis Costello (NME, MM) - "In The Navy" by the Village People (NME) - "Pop Muzik" by M (NME, MM) - "Dance Away" by Roxy Music (NME, MM) - "Silly Games" by Janet Kay (NME, MM) - "The Eton Rifles" by The Jam (MM)
