M10 Show, week #139

 

Boss, what're we doin' the show so late fer?

Because, old friend, in a week where my boss left us in confusion because he had to help his bosses right a company of theirs that may have been run more incompetently than any I've yet heard of, thus allowing us to skate around chaos, and my brain getting so frazzled that I wondered what was wrong with my car because the more I pushed the pedal, the slower it went (yes, my foot was on the brake instead of the gas)... I flat forgot to do the list until a few moments ago.

Good grief!  So what're we doing?

Same as usual, just more groggily.  Thankfully, we only have one debut this week- which we'll save for a little bit, while I bring up this week in 1963, and see what we have here!

Man, I better go start a pot of coffee! (Yawn)

Here in the US, the Ronettes and Be My Baby was at the top-  it was a #2 in Canada, while topping out at #24 in Australia.  In Canada, Jimmy Gilmer's Sugar Shack was in the midst of a 6-week run- it would start a 3 week run here next week, while it would top Australia in the vicinity of our Thanksgiving.  Australia was topped by the lone #1 in the career of Helen Shapiro in Australia, called Not Responsible.  This is one of a handful of songs tonight I will have to play to hear for the first time.  But not right now, I wanna get the show done, and it's so late that Laurie will be home soon, and I won't get a chance because she'll want to watch Gutfeld...

(Sigh), anyway, Our list of big movers gathered quite a crowd once we left the environs of the top 20...

Man, you get windy when yer tired...

Yeah, yeah, so here are the top 5 movers this week...

5- Leslie Gore, She's A Fool.  One of my faves, it topped at 5 here, 28 Down Under, 8 in Canada.  This week, a 14-spot jump to 33.

4- The Orlons, Crossfire!  One of that set I'll have to listen to, it peaked 19 here, 36 in Canada, MIA in Australia.  This week, up 16 to 32.

3- Nino Tempo and April Stevens, Deep Purple.  A #1 here, 3 in Canada, 15 in Australia, it jumped 17 to #22 this week.

2- Brenda Lee, The Grass Is Greener.  Another I'll have to listen to, though I believe I've heard it.  #7 here, 73 in Australia, 26 in Canada.  Jumping 18 to #27 this week.

1- The Impressions, It's All Right.  I'll admit to thinking this one was much later on, but at least I know it. A #4 here, 78 in Australia, 25 in Canada.  

Back ta the usual variations this week, eh, Boss?

Yeah, quite a spread this week.  As for my favorite in the top 40... Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton just slipped out of the top spot, making that an easy choice.  You got that video ready, sleepyhead?

Well ya all but gave this away last week but... At #6, Linkin Park an' Heavy Is The Crown....
