This week, the week of January 18-22, 2016, we will be looking at the year 1966!
We call it: "50/50!"
January 18, 2016
Note: Not all the titles will be great! LOL!
We tend to put a lot of emphasis on random anniversary numbers over others. The 50th anniversary of anything tends to get more attention than 48 or 49 because we like our round numbers I guess.
So let's look at the top five songs of the year 1966!
For a year that saw the Beatles in the middle of the amazing run, the birth of the Monkees, and an ever growing cross over in media from movies to music the songs that ranked the highest for the entire year might be a bit of a surprise!
Coming in at #5, this song was written four years earlier and the lead singer changed his name to a symbol (although a recognizable one) long before Prince thought it was cool.
The song hit #1 in October of 1966.
Also, the group was NOT a one hit wonder. Their follow up to "96 Tears", "I Need Somebody" peaked at #22 also in 1966!
Tomorrow: Motown Sound!
