Fantastic work, thank you so much.
I hope to see more of these 60's charts.

Just because we're quiet doesn't mean we're not checking regularly! Please keep this thread active and keep posting those 60's MM charts. This was a time of enormous change in popular music and these charts are an essential part of the story.

Your effort is very much appreciated!

Thank you guys.
By the way, talking of history…
The MM charts I’m working at (which were scanned and kindly placed at my disposal by Alan Smith), supplied with a title NATIONAL CHART.
Followed by text below “Used by The Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, Daily Sketch, Daily Herald, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Mirror, The People, News Of The World and many leading provincial newspapers.”

Alan Smith discussed it many times on this Forum…

Well, let’s keep it on…
