That’s how they shape up this week. There were two newcomers to the top ten and
both are star performers, in the number 9 spot it’s a tune written and sung by ROD
HOLDEN, which at the present is very popular on the island, entitled LOVE YOU SO.
This tune has been on the charts for ten weeks and last week was in' the number
fourteen spot. Also making it on the top ten for the first time this week is
the latest MGM recording by CONNIE FRANCIS, which jumped from twenty last week
to the number nine position. The flip side of this song is also doing very well
after only throe weeks on the charts it’s in the number 22 position up from 43 last
week, it’s called ’’JEALOUS OF YOU’’.
Looking at the hot one hundred, the tune which showed the most upward progress was
the latest for little MISS BRENDA LEE. Brenda seems to have a two sided hit on her
hands this time, the big side at the present time is ”I’M SORRY" which came up from
76 last week to the number 38 spot, the flip is "THAT’S ALL YOU GOTTA DO’’. which
made it for the first time this week in the number 76 spot. Both tunes are BILL
BOARD star performers. A couple of other tunes that shewed up good this week were
"ALLEY OOP" by the HOLLYWOOD ARGYLES which has been on the charts for two weeks this
week in the number 55 position. PAUL ANKA seems to have another hit on his hands
with his latest ABC Paramount recording of "SOMETHING HAPPENED", this tune came up
from 98 last week to number 62 this week on the hot one hundred.
The following list of tunes are on the hot one hundred for. the first time tthis

My personal pick for this week is the latest cut by the KINGSTON TRIO on the
Capital recording, it’s called "BAD MAN PLUNDER".
This week we look into the story behind the success of Don Costa. Don was born
in Eoston in 1925,he began his professional career at the age of 15 by joining the
staff orchestra at radio station WEEI. The arrangements he wrote for this orchestra
orcught him to the attention of Vaughn Monroe. During the next six years he arranged
and orchestrated for the Monroe Band. Don has the number 50 tune this week with
iis United Artist recording of "THE THEME FROM THE UNFORGIVEN".
Well that’s that for this week. Don’t forget your request show on Adak over AFRS
it’s called PLATTER PARTY with those two zany DJ’s KAY and SHARON, the time for the
show is from 11 till 12, Monday thru Friday. Until next week PLAY IT COOL.
