Well looking at the top ten this week we see that there has been quite a few
changes. The number one tune is the same, this week marks six weeks in the top
position for Elvis Presley and his RCA Victor recording of IT'S NOW OR FEVER,
There were four newcomers to the top ten. In the number four position is a tune
that was thirteen last week and has only been on the charts for three weeks,
it's a novelty tune called MR, CUSTER by Larry Vern, this tune will probably be
the next number one tune. The song holding the number six spot is a song that
was 22 last week, the latest RCA Victor recording by Sam Cooke entitled CHAIN
GANG. Brook Benton is back on the charts in a big way this week with the number
8 tune KIDDIO and the 19 song also by Brook Benton is THE SAME ONE, The other
newcomer to the top ten this week is a star performer in the number nine spot
up from fourteen last week, a catchy tune called YOGI,
Taking a look at the remainder of the Hot One Hundred, the Everly Brothers
ar£ climbing fast with both sides of their latest Warner Brothers recording,
the Top selling side at the present is in the number 17 spot, IT’S SO SAD, and
in the number ^3 position is LUCILLE, A few of the other Hot Tunes this week
