Excellent sampling of the number 1's of the decade. Will wait for more.

Now, that’s what I’m talking about!

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 can still watch Top Culture's video. With no problem. 🇨🇦

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.

I wonder the same thing and I'm surprised particularly Hey Jude was left out of this video

[@roysmith4777]

At first I thought Bert K. Was Lawrence welk.

[@BIGELOW.65]

What was the song in October, 1968?

One more thing. The '60s started Jan. 1, 1961 and ended Dec. 31, 1970. Pay attention.

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.

[@Apolo3165-Danny]

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

[@robertrouse4503]

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.
