We start in 1962 Retro this week, a year that really saw a revolution in Pop and Rock music as the chart debuts of the Beatles (in the UK), Beach Boys, Four Seasons, and The Supremes all came. Music would never be the same.

This week, Elvis holds for a fourth week as the year begins. No debuts in top 10.
