Yeah membrane and Robbie, I'm a few months into compilation in 1960 and it's a bit of a culture shock going back from 1968. I was just a kid myself in 1960 so my memories of songs from that era mainly come from hearing the songs later on the radio etc.
The innocence and simplicity of the era is the first thing thing that strikes me working with the songs.

Yes, it will be interesting to see the UAC from 1960 to 1963. I only know of the era from chart books and Pick Of The Pops but it's a fascinating time that is often overlooked due to those years falling after the rock n roll boom years and before Beatlemania and all that followed from that.Originally posted by membranemusic View Post

Mr Tibbs: yes please I look forward to you proceeding with the UAC for 1960 to 1963! Strange and innocent times.Leave a comment:

In answer to Robbie, as well as others' comments, in my opinion the main reason why chart runs became longer in 67/68 is because of the influence of the fast pirate radio charts during 65/66/67. Once they were outlawed in 1967, everyone had to start thinking for themselves again!Leave a comment:

In comes the epic Macarthur Park by Richard Harris like a breath of fresh air to the chart. Loved and loathed in equal measure, but for me the former applied. Richard Harris's 'unusual' singing style caressing the lyrics made this his own. For me THE version.
Watch out though, Sue Nicholls and arguably one of the worst records ever to grace a chart is going to make it's presence felt.

I think some of it was to do with the way the charts were compiled during the period especially that of the Melody Maker. It's much slower than it was. Even compared with the others. Take Brian's last chart, all of his top thirty entries are missing from Melody Maker, except Manfred and that's lower than the rest. It might be that the Maker took the hyping allegations to heart and started to vet the records more before allowing them in the charts. That's just my thoughts on it. Nevertheless I noticed that MM was very much slower in 1967 than it was in 1966 with the new hits and it doesn't look like it was any quicker in 1968.Originally posted by MrTibbs View PostLeave a comment:

I think Robbie it was down to album sales beginning to really take off from 1967 onwards. So more youngsters bought the album rather than the singles taken from it. As you said most older record buyers continued to buy singles hence why ballads were very much to the fore in 67 and 68.
That said, although single sales did indeed drop in the second half of the sixties it was still a healthy market and wow we were still getting a cartload of 3 minute gems to keep the singles market buoyant.Leave a comment:

This is just a general observation about the charts in general from 1968: am I imagining it or have the charts over the "past year" (1967/8) become much slower moving with records taking longer to reach a peak? Annual singles sales were much lower in the late 1960s than when The Beatles, The Rolling Stones et al were in their prime around 1964 / 1965. There seems to be fewer records making instant impacts on the charts and then falling away quickly and instead many big hits are racking up lengthy chart runs. Had "the scene" (a term which seems to have been in common usage back then) become stale? Were there fewer big acts who were catching the immediate attention of younger record buyers which in turn meant that singles sales were falling back. The older generation still seem to be keen on buying singles. This trend would actualy become more common until glam came along in the early 1970s to shake up the chart.Leave a comment:

You are right Splodj, but if I remember correctly Dave told me RM changed their date to a bit later in the week in May 1960 hence why the BBC stopped including RM in their chart as the new day was too late for their compilation. This also ties in with Dave and Trevor's comments on their BBC Chart manuscript.
In January 1960 there is no one chart out of step with the others like we often saw with RR , all the charts go their own way mainly below the top 3.Leave a comment:

I seem to recall Dave Taylor posting somewhere that RM used a different sampling period (i.e. not week ending Saturday) for a time, or some such difference.Leave a comment:

If you thought there were wide variations in the chart positions sometimes between the music papers charts 64 to 68 wait till you see early1960 when all the charts are lined up against each other side by side, some have a record in the top ten while others don't even have it in the top twenty. The positions are all over the place, and that's just NME, RM, MM, and Disc, with RR yet to join them in March.Leave a comment:

RRs low sampling not only appeared to underplace Please Please Me but also overplace Love Me Do.Originally posted by Graham76man View Post
One of the widest known historical 'chart facts' is that the first Beatles record got to number 17, but in the BBC chart it peaked at 24. Not much difference, but symbolically outside the Top 20.
It will be interesting to see how it performs in the Ultimate.Leave a comment:

Yeah Robbie it's cool to abbreviate The Ultimate Averaged Chart to UAC rather than spelling it out in full each time. Yeah Dionne is heading for the Top Ten this time. I think NME were ahead (as they were most weeks with New Entries) either because of advanced orders, as they were known to include, or the chart shops they sampled had new releases in stock before the larger stores who would tend to order safely by only ordering records already on the chart.
1968 is getting even more interesting as more and more of my favourite memories from that year take their turn on the chart. There are still loads to appear that totally blew me away.Leave a comment:

Welcome back to Dionne Warwick. Her single charted on the UAC (is it OK to call your chart that rather than typing out Ultimate Averaged Chart each time?!) at number 29 because the single had charted at number 24 on the NME chart dated 11/05/68. On the RR chart it was nowhere to be seen, either in the top 50 or the Breakers chart. I guess we'll never know where it was on the MM chart as by now 31-50 wasn't being published. The following week it dropped to #29 on the NME chart and therefore fell off the UAC. On RR it was new in at #32. But it's good to see the record bouncing back by entering all three component charts and re-entering the UAC at #18. I wonder why it charted so early on the NME charts?Leave a comment:
