Toppermost Of The Poppermost toppermost poppermost

The Billboard charts for the final two weeks of April 1964.      Rampant Beatlemania (not starring Terri Hemmert), and a couple of tunes that must be heard to be believed! #MadeonZencastr

The Billboard Charts for the first two weeks of April, 1964.     The Beatles rule the roost, but Motown continues churning out commercial and critical darlings (My Guy), and Burt Bacharach gives Dionne Warwick a song which will become one of the all-time greats of rock and roll.  #MadeonZencastr  #FabFaux #MagicalMysteryCamp

The Beatles have conquered the Billboard charts, so we examine some of the news stories from the month.    Additionally, the British charts for April 1964.    Eden Kane, Shirley Bassey, the Four Pennies, the Undertakers, the Merseybeats and a horn player to be named later! #madeonZencastr

More from March of 1964.     Even more  Beatles on the charts, but figures including Lenny Welch, The Shirelles, Tony Bennett, Bobby Goldsboro and others you may or may not remember continue to make appearances.  #madeonZencastr

Beatlemania, Beatlemania, Beatlemania!!!   (and it hasn't even reached it's Zenith).     Lots and lots of Beatles, but also Jan and Dean (and Mel Blanc) The Four Preps, Dale and Grace, Nino and April and more!  #madeonZencastr

The British charts for March of 1964.      Can't Buy Me Love arrives, while Lennon/McCartney also continue the string with Peter & Gordon and World Without Love.      We also consider the state of "other music" on the British charts. #madeonzencastr
