Thank you for this video! Must have taken forever to put together! Graduated high school in 1964 from a small town in north.central MN. Music in schools was very important back then and our band was first rate. Our "big" high school band trip was late spring 1963...went by busses to city across the border in Canada to perform a concert. Auditorium was huge..held about 3-4 schools of teenagers. Played our concert...the usual stuff...marches, classical, even some improvisational jazz. Got to the end, our band director turns to the crowd, thanks them, says this will be our last number. Could almost hear a palpable sigh of relief ( : He turns around to us, big grin on his face, raises his baton....and our drummer suddenly starts "Ah one, Ah two, ah one, two, three, FOUR!" And we swung into a Beatle's medley. The crowd went absolutely NUTS...shouting, screaming, clapping....jumping up and down....you would have thought WE were the Beatles! That evening, there was a teenage dance......we were treated like royalty. Probably one of my favorite memories! ( :

Here’s a mystery! The Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” had advance orders of 2 million copies (a record that lasted for decades), was #1 on the Billboard charts for five weeks, and yet Billboard ranked it as the #52 song of the year. Go figure!!

[@freeguy77]

Here's an answer from Wiki that combines yearlong sales, streaming, and airplay points: "After Billboard began obtaining sales and airplay information from Nielsen SoundScan, the year-end charts are now calculated by a very straightforward cumulative total of yearlong sales, streaming, and airplay points. This gives a more accurate picture of any given year's most popular tracks, as the points accrued by one song during its week at number one in March might be less than those accrued by another song reaching number three in January. Songs at the peak of their popularity at the time of the November/December chart-year cutoff many times end up ranked on the following year's chart as well, as their cumulative points are split between the two chart-years, but often are ranked lower than they would have been had the peak occurred in a single year." --Wikipedia (Billboard Hot 100#Year-end charts) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100#Year-end_charts
