A mostly great top-7! Tell you what, the final's going to be, as old people say, a doozy.

 

Right, here's the last qualifying round, with another 7 going through. Quite honestly, it's a shame it's not more; what a superb selection!

 

1958-59

 

Sat 31 Aug

 

21 Bobby Darin — Dream Lover +1

21 Connie Francis — Who’s Sorry Now +1

21 The Everly Brothers — All I Have To Do Is Dream / Claudette +1

21 Bobby Darin — Mack The Knife +1

20 Jerry Lee Lewis — Great Balls Of Fire

20 Elvis Presley — Jailhouse Rock

20 Michael Holliday — The Story Of My Life

20 Perry Como — Magic Moments

20 Marvin Rainwater — Whole Lotta Woman

20 Vic Damone — On The Street Where You Live

20 Kalin Twins — When

20 Connie Francis — Stupid Cupid / Carolina Moon

20 Tommy Edwards — It’s All In The Game

20 Lord Rockingham’s XI — Hoots Mon

20 Conway Twitty — It’s Only Make Believe

20 Jane Morgan — The Day The Rains Came

20 Elvis Presley — One Night / I Got Stung

20 Shirley Bassey — As I Love You

20 The Platters — Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

20 Russ Conway — Side Saddle

20 Buddy Holly — It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

20 Elvis Presley — A Fool Such As I / I Need Your Love Tonight

20 Russ Conway — Roulette

20 Craig Douglas — Only Sixteen

20 Jerry Keller — Here Comes Summer

20 Cliff Richard & The Shadows — Travellin’ Light

20 Adam Faith — What Do You Want?

20 Emile Ford — What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For?

14 Cliff Richard — Living Doll -6

 

Struggled to pick just four to give a point to. Had to give one to the Everly Brothers because even Claudette is good. Both of Bobby Darin's songs are right near the top of the whole game for me; Dream Lover is gorgeous and his Mack The Knife is the best version imo.

That's all well and good @Paul Bearer, but you have to give minus points too. Six of them.

 

EDIT: Done, cheers.

I quite agree. For someone whose untimely demise supposedly signalled the death of music, many of his songs are surprisingly rubbish.

Lots I love here. Real hard to decide whether Mack or Dream is the best #1 of the decade, both are damn perfect either way.

 

As I am easily amused, it tickles me that "What Do You Want?" and "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For" charted directly after one another :P

A lot of good stuff here.

I like early Cliff, most of the stuff from the last 40+ years is rubbish but that shouldn't distract people from appreciating the quality of the first few years..

Not often I say this but in the case of 'When', I prefer the Showaddywaddy version.

:flame:How did the song: Great Balls of Fire—get past the sensors of the late 1950s in the USA (did they have sensors in Britain as well at that time)? This questions goes for the song: Good Golly Miss Molly I just got to ball — as well.
