38 songs that appeared on the RPM Cross Canada chart or RPM Top 10 Country chart.
One track, Ringo-Deer, should be in the Autumn 1964 set as it's a (rather poor) novelty Christmas song.
Another track, Golden Rocket, I could not find a photo of the Arc single for, so I used a photo of the LP label on which it also appears.
Personally, I would not copy and paste ALL of these into the Winter 1965 folder of Mining the Charts as while there are some really good recordings here, there are also some duds that sound more 1963 than 1965 and also too many b-sides as I think Canadian radio stations were so desperate to play anything "Canadian" they would also play weaker sides of a record.
Also included are 3 records from the intermittent Billboard Irish Top 10 chart (Are You Teasing Me, Born to be With You, If I Didn't Have a Dime), 2 records from the intermittent Billboard South African Top 10 chart (Heart, Hello Operator) and 2 records from the intermittent Billboard Singapore Top 10 chart (Shanty, No Time). No Time is an early record by the UK's Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich which was a big hit in Asian areas, but was not in the UK.
There are 7 records I couldn't track down. As much as I enjoy searching for good condition missing singles to purchase and convert into digital files, the shipping now is apt to cost more than the record itself (so big businesses like Amazon can ship for pennies). Taking into consideration the spiraling down of life-as-we-once-knew-it, I'd rather spend that money on ammo than records.
I can See that you use R.P.M. Top 10 chart Do you know anything about
ReplyDeletethe Canadian CHUM chart ? I Have found some chart list ( 1957 -1986)
from that chart
Is it local or is it cover the entire Canada country
As far as I know CHUM is a Toronto radio station. RPM published a Canadian National Top 40 chart, augmented by a Top 20 Cross Canada chart of Canadian artists that appeared on local radio station Top 40 charts here and there. Some of these also made the National Top 40, but many did not. Of course, a lot of the really big hits are already found on the Billboard/Cash Box/Record World collection.
DeleteUnfortunately, Billboard's International reporting in 1965 did not include New Zealand. I have yet to find any source of local Kiwi charts for 1965. Many of the big hits by NZ artists also appeared in Australia, but others never crossed the Tasman Sea.
