Re double A-sides. If there's a great song, why penalise it because it's paired with a crap one?  Just ignore the other one.

This is a non-vote post.

Can we just get on with it, there isn’t a song worth a fuck in bold above (*Nut Rocker is ok and you gotta love the name).  Just delete these so we can save four days. That is all.

1962-63 apparently not great years for number ones. Too much Frank Ifield & Elvis (& The Beatles and Gerry & The Pacemaker now that you mention it)

I'm struck by the chart dominance of a handful of acts. Elvis, The Beatles, Cliff Richard and/or The Shadows, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Frank Ifield are collectively responsible for two-thirds of the the '62-'63 no.1s.

(Edit: I originally said half, but it's even more than that!)
