Unfortunate end to one eventful decade. Sandie Shaw seemed to wing it, amazed at her popularity. Although I love that sound. Still, I'm amazed at the popularity of many artists. For me the most underrated was Bobbie Gentry
I started my band in ‘60’s when I was 13 years old and we still included some 60s song till 2000’s. Now I find it amazing that at karaokes some youngsters still come up with 60’s songs ! Those hits will never ever die.
i have just been transported back to the years when i left school, started work, married, had a child, bought a house, and divorced! and a lot of memories in between, i thank you for the heart thumping occasions, the adrenalin occasions, the fun times and the secret times.......wow! thank youx
And many didn't reach number one in the USA or the UK. Even a japanese reached. Nearly 99 songs never reached the highest post for every one that did. For example, Norwigean Wood did not.
all I remember is happiness, from a world much larger, from youth free and with spirit, opportunity, and girls that did not no everything, and music to be mesmerised by, Thank you so much for this compilation .
I have all of these songs in my music collection except "Two Little Boys" , play them all the time, not like today's earache music or would you call it music?
I was in my early teens when these songs were in the charts.I'm 62 now,and love the creative and mixed era then.These songs are standards today,but back in the day,we didn't see them as that,just great sounds.Great that the Stones are around still,sad that many featured here are not,but a thoroughly enjoyable compilation
Great memories - a few wee mistakes, e.g. Billy J Kramer’s no.1 in 1963 was Bad To Me, not Little Children, which was correctly slotted in 1964. Same with Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames: Yeh, Yeh was no.1 in Jan/Feb 1965, not Getaway, which was summer 66. Fantastic post though, thank you so much!
Great Video! Anyone spot the deliberate mistake? :) Albatross was by the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, and Jeremy Spencer along with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. When all 3 guitarists left then the transatlantic (Rumours ) Fleetwood Mac replaced them with Stevie Nicks...:)
Superb nostagia trip! I went from an uncool primary school kid at the start of the 60’s, to the coolest of cool 17 year old with long hair and superb dress sense in 1969. Fifty years later i'm back to being uncool, bald, Debenhams dressed and moan about the price of everything that i like. Plus side is, i can have a few beers, listen to music on youtube like this and for some strange reason still think i'm cool.
Michael Rawson .....that's it! That's just the type of comment that restores my faith in human nature. A few brews and still think i'm cool....best bit of advice i've had since i hit 50. Rock on Michael, if by some chance we ever meet, the beers are on me.✌🏻😎🍺
Three Beatles songs that were made covers by others, the covers became #1 - that I didn't realise. They were "Michelle" - "With A Little Help From My Friends" and finally "Oh-Bla-Di." .
The Beatles had so many good songs that some of the best weren't released as singles. "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" was issued as a single by a group signed by Brian Epstein called The Silkie. Produced by John Lennon himself, I don't think it was nearly as good as the Beatles original yet it was still a pretty big hit.
Once again well done for putting in a lot of hard work on these. I watched the three 70s ones first and these are probably even better because the tracks and pictures are harder to find as you go back in time.
(PART 3) We now take a look at the "other" #1's of the 1968-69 period, which saw Record Retailer and the BBC combine to give birth to what we now call the "Official Charts" in February 1969 - and in September, Top Pops becoming Top Pops & Music Now! As you can see as we go along, TP's / TP/MN's add-on changed the game in quite a few cases. With New Musical Express and Melody Maker, here's what in this period topped the "other" charts: - "Help Yourself" by Tom Jones (NME) - "This Guy's In Love With You" by Herb Alpert (MM) - "Eloise" by Barry Ryan (NME, MM; the last "other" #1 prior to the start-up of the "official" charts) - "My Sentimental Friend" by Herman's Hermits (TP; first #1 only to top their chart, and first post-"Official" "other" #1) - "Oh Happy Day" by The Edwin Hawkins Singers (TP) - "In The Ghetto" by Elvis Presley (NME, MM, TP; the first of the "official" era to make #1 on every chart but that) - "Saved By The Bell" by Robin Gibb (TP) - "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder (TP) - "Don't Forget To Remember" by The Bee Gees (TP/MN) - "Oh Well" by Fleetwood Mac (NME, TP/MN) - "(Call Me) Number One" by The Tremeloes (TP/MN; was to be that publication's last 'unique' #1) - "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" by Stevie Wonder (NME, MM) - "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" by Kenny Rogers And The First Edition (NME, TP/MN) "Official" #1's - solely Record Retailer up to February 1969, the BMRB / RR / BBC chart thereafter - that failed to top any of the others in this period were "I Pretend" and "Do It Again." Had not TP / TP/MN been included in this equation, the list of "official only" #1's would have also included "Fire" and "Je T'aime . . . Moi Non Plus"; but since these topped both there and TP / TP/MN, that's therefore two less in that count. Note the six #1's that only did so in TP / TP/MN; 1969 was to be the only year they pulled this feat, one that would never be repeated in the publication's all-too-short history. TP/MN also allowed two legacy British acts - Herman's Hermits and The Tremeloes - to have what would be their last singles to top any UK chart. These were a definite add-on to what topped "officially."
Absolutely cracking compilations. At first I thought the clips were too short, but they're just right to spark the memories - thoroughly enjoyed the journey through late childhood. Thanks!
Hi cockneybasterd, Thank you so much for your brilliant work, I´ve just watched all the parts of the 60´s no. 1 hits! This reminds me so much of that wonderful time. I was born in 1952, and in the 60´s I listened to the BFBS Top Twenty Show in Germany and I recorded my favourite songs by tape recorder. Best wishes from Germany, Werner
Funny how the Peter Green thing jars ......He's still got a lot of loyal fans. And it's like a musical circularity at the end where the progression is reversed....... I'd never thought that about the 60's But what gems.....and of course memories for old farts like myself. Thanks
+The Puzzles I didn't mention Penny bloody Lane! I knew it wouldn't be here as a 1967 hit. I was referring to the brilliant Peter Green, late of Fleetwood Mac. Please keep up.
Oh Rolf! Please don't let it be true. Mud sticks though. I'm am absolutely gutted about it and don't mind telling you that I nearly burst into tears right at the end then. Great job putting it all together. I'm an Aussie and if we did a Sixties #1s I reckon it would not be too dissimilar to yours. Cheers mate.
Thank you for your comment Ken! Dusty Springfield's "I just don't know what to do with myself" only made it to #3 in the UK charts, her #1 was "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", once again thank you and everyone for your comments, much appreciated! If you like this then please check out the 70's and 80's versions! Tom.
Fair play, for all the great stuff by the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Motown etc there was some crap that got to number 1 - Ken Dodd, Des O'Connor, Rolf Harris etc. Erratic buying from the public.
WOW! What a lot of work - well done, thank you a great nostalgia trip and eye opener - in the words of Maurice Chevallier "Ah yes I remem bear eet werl"!
Nice to see The Seekers in there. Correct me if wrong, but I understand that, for a period, there were outselling The Beatles in the UK. Not an easy thing to do! Hi from Oz, Boxing Day 2019.
Good video. I live in the US. Looking at your 60s vs ours. The biggest difference were the Supremes had no #1s there. They kept up with the Beatles here. On the other side, Cliff Richard didnt have his first hit until Devil Woman 1976. Engelbert Humperdinck wasnt as big here.
Great posts! I've heard covers of many of these songs before, but this was the first time I've ever heard their original versions, lol. It was cool listening to the styles of music gradually evolve, as the years went by :)
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da: Written by: Lennon-McCartney Recorded: 3-5, 8, 9, 11, 15 July 1968 Producer: George Martin Engineer: Geoff Emerick Released: 22 November 1968 (UK), 25 November 1968 (US) Paul McCartney: vocals, bass, handclaps John Lennon: backing vocals, piano, handclaps George Harrison: backing vocals, acoustic guitar, handclaps Ringo Starr: drums, bongos, percussion, handclaps Uncredited: three saxophones Written by Paul McCartney in India, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was an attempt at a ska-influenced recording, although the title phrase came from a Nigerian friend.
I'm wondering if these reached #1 as of the date posted with each song? Because a couple of these I distinctly remember being released the year prior. Then again there were a couple two or three that I never even heard of, and that is saying a lot in my case.
0:42 I've gotta get a message to you (Bee Gees 68) 0:50 Hey Jude (The Beatles 68) 2:38 Get back (The Beatles 69) 2:55 The ballad of John and Yoko (The Beatles 69)
Did Paul really die? Lots of YT vids proving he did. True later photos of him in group do look unlike him in early 60’s. Theory that he died on a car wreck is not unconvincing since he looks different in later photos. For instance the group shot you use in your #2 charted songs from the 60’s YT the Paul in that group shot is the newer Paul. Doesn’t look like the original Paul of “He loves you “ era. Thanks Great vids.
It would not be hard to better the crap music of today, 60s music was brilliant, My body is 72 but lucky for me my mind is not keeping up with it so we are both getting 🎶🤣🥂🎶.
60''s to90's all great songs to me. Better than the repetative crap we get now Songs now with the same beat with people talking or moaning lyrics that you can't sing to and a radio station beginning with C plays the same ones every hour I have got a bigger record collection than them They shouldn't be on the air
@@maryrawson4324 I'm from the USA so we knew the artists whose music made it here. Artists who were famous ONLY in the UK during that time were unknown to most Americans. The British Invasion brought us great music and a lot of that music was influenced by our American R&B and early rock and roll. They just took it to another level.:o)
Did I miss Herb Alpert(This Guy's In Love With You)?.I remember him,Bees gees (Gotta get a Mesage To You) and a third act being joint no1 on TOTP,with Bee Gees retaining the top spot for a second week.
Appreciate the hard work here. Only one unforgivable mistake. Where the hell is Peter Green.That is not a Fleetwood Mac picture that I recognize or respect.
It is hard to believe some of those songs were from so long ago particularly in parts one and two. Some you have to wonder how they ever got to number 1!
GREETINGS FROM ARKAKSAS THAT WAS A YOUNG JIMMY McCOUKOCH IN THUNDERCLAP NEWMAN SOMETHING IN THE AIR 2 7 1969 JIMMY WENT ON TO BE IN WINGS HE WAS GORGOUSE
A musical renaissance that will never come again. Not everything here's a masterpiece, to be sure, but there was so much extraordinary work that you have to hand it to the pop music audience of the day. It's ironic that the Top 40 at the time was considered by many to be a vast wasteland, comparable to prime time TV. My only quibbles would be that the Fleetwood Mac photo doesn't show Peter Green (who wrote Albatross), and the cut of Something in the Air is unbearably tinny.
What wonderful music,so lucky to have been a teenager in the 60s,best music ever,thank you for reliving some wonderful memories,
Unfortunate end to one eventful decade. Sandie Shaw seemed to wing it, amazed at her popularity. Although I love that sound. Still, I'm amazed at the popularity of many artists. For me the most underrated was Bobbie Gentry

Wow,you have lived.Your comment was 6 years ago.Has the rollercoaster ride continued?
Oh...what a decade !!!!! The memories are wonderful !! I am lost in the 60's ....never to return to the crappy music of today.....lol
Watched entire series and am surprised at the variety of musical genres that were popular throughout the 60s. What a great decade for music! 🎼🎶🎼
I just watched the series too .. couldn't stop once I started....lol
It was amazing times for music!
And many didn't reach number one in the USA or the UK. Even a japanese reached. Nearly 99 songs never reached the highest post for every one that did. For example, Norwigean Wood did not.

Brilliant!....No 1s ...right throughout my teenage years.....took me back in time.....🎶...thanks...
If you grew up in the 60s you were given a gift. If you missed it, you missed the best 10 years of music and love.
Just watched part 1, 2 and 3 of all the No 1s throughout the 60s, what a treat to hear all those great sounds again, THANKS SO MUCH!

Fair play, for all the great stuff by the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Motown etc there was some crap that got to number 1 - Ken Dodd, Des O'Connor, Rolf Harris etc. Erratic buying from the public.

Thanks,,Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
Thanks for posting this and the time it must have taken you. I knew every one......
Groovy ☺️😊
Was surprised Lulu's To Sir With Love didn't reach #1 or even #2 in the UK as it was such a big hit in the US.
Yeah was definitely No.1 in ythese parts for a lot of that year. Polk Salad Annie, Ballad of Billy Joe both No. 1
Thoroughly enjoyed parts 1,2 and 3 - Many thanks
So many classics, thanks for posting!
My favourite song in 1969 was, Hot Smoke and Sassafras - the Bubble Puppy. I did not expect it to be #1.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da:
Written by: Lennon-McCartney
Recorded: 3-5, 8, 9, 11, 15 July 1968
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Geoff Emerick
Released: 22 November 1968 (UK), 25 November 1968 (US)
Paul McCartney: vocals, bass, handclaps
John Lennon: backing vocals, piano, handclaps
George Harrison: backing vocals, acoustic guitar, handclaps
Ringo Starr: drums, bongos, percussion, handclaps
Uncredited: three saxophones
Written by Paul McCartney in India, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was an attempt at a ska-influenced recording, although the title phrase came from a Nigerian friend.
Rubbish anyway....
then don.t listen.
@@davidhoward2487:... idiot! Fuck off and listen to beiber if you don't like actual music!

fantastic ,my dad loves all these ,keep up the good work
The Beegees had some bangers in the 60's they don't get credit for.
Also, that Two Little Boys song creeped me out
What a brilliant compilation......love it, thanks.
brilliant work cockney. keep it up.
Some comments its not this or that. Man lovely job
I'm wondering if these reached #1 as of the date posted with each song? Because a couple of these I distinctly remember being released the year prior. Then again there were a couple two or three that I never even heard of, and that is saying a lot in my case.
Brilliant but as highlighted earlier. Incorrect later Fleetwood Mac image and Walking back to Happiness, Helen Shapiro wasn't
Wrong picture for Fleetwood Mac. Otherwise, an excellent and painstaking accomplishment. Congratulations.
Thank you so very much
Really nice compilation. Lots of hard work.

A memorial to a great period of musical excellence, with the less-than-great tracks only making the classics shine all the brighter.
Where is PETER GREEN ? He did write the song not Lindsey.
0:42 I've gotta get a message to you (Bee Gees 68)
0:50 Hey Jude (The Beatles 68)
2:38 Get back (The Beatles 69)
2:55 The ballad of John and Yoko (The Beatles 69)
Did Paul really die? Lots of YT vids proving he did. True later photos of him in group do look unlike him in early 60’s. Theory that he died on a car wreck is not unconvincing since he looks different in later photos. For instance the group shot you use in your #2 charted songs from the 60’s YT the Paul in that group shot is the newer Paul. Doesn’t look like the original Paul of “He loves you “ era.
Thanks Great vids.
These were brilliant! How much better number 1s were back then compared to now! (or am I just getting old?)
Yes.

A little bit of both
Fabulous. Where can i get the complete set.
60''s to90's all great songs to me.
Better than the repetative crap we get now
Songs now with the same beat with people talking or moaning lyrics that you can't sing to and a radio station beginning with C plays the same ones every hour

They shouldn't be on the air

sorry why show a picture of the 1975 version of fleetwood mac when playing a song from the original group

Did I miss Herb Alpert(This Guy's In Love With You)?.I remember him,Bees gees (Gotta get a Mesage To You) and a third act being joint no1 on TOTP,with Bee Gees retaining the top spot for a second week.
@ Dave Johnson: 'This Guy's In Love With You' was #1 in America, Dave, but stalled at #3 in Britain.
I saw the 3 parts AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Two Little Boys also reached #1 in Ireland. it spent seven weeks at the top.
Excellent stuff.Dont make music like that anymore.
Appreciate the hard work here. Only one unforgivable mistake. Where the hell is Peter Green.That is not a Fleetwood Mac picture that I recognize or respect.
Thanks!
THE BEATLES 🤩
I take that back mate . You were right Sandy Shaw did have 3 No1's. My apologies.
Am checking out the 80's as we speak.
Amazing, innit. That girl sounds like she turned up to sing, then went and did something else
That last track very apt for Rolf.....wonder if he listens to that in jail....
It is hard to believe some of those songs were from so long ago particularly in parts one and two. Some you have to wonder how they ever got to number 1!
1969 the year i got married, brilliant memories
some top tunes in there.

A musical renaissance that will never come again. Not everything here's a masterpiece, to be sure, but there was so much extraordinary work that you have to hand it to the pop music audience of the day. It's ironic that the Top 40 at the time was considered by many to be a vast wasteland, comparable to prime time TV. My only quibbles would be that the Fleetwood Mac photo doesn't show Peter Green (who wrote Albatross), and the cut of Something in the Air is unbearably tinny.
That was brutal.
