Damn program didn't go back far enough.

Same here.

 

[swarfrat]

I'm sure it only goes back as far as recorded music. Records beyond that are a bit sketchy.

When I tried the UK, it said the ratings were based on sales of sheet music. Man, that's depressing!

U.S. - "I Get Around" The Beach Boys

U.K. - "It's Over" Roy Orbison

I happen to love both tunes and both artists. However, a second resource claims "Chapel of Love" by the Dixie Cups was #1 in the U.S. I'll stick with the Beach Boys.
