Hello All - The 1964 KTKT charts have been posted at the KTKT Tribute
page found at :
www.ktkt99.com/
A total of 49 out of a possible 52 weeks are now available. As many of
you probably know 1964 was a big year for top 40 radio and music as the
Beatles and the following British Invasion broke big in America.
For those interested in "chartbusting" the Beatles those first few months very early on during 1964 at KTKT ......
The Beatles make their KTKT chart debut at #25 with “I Want To Hold Your Hand” on the chart dated week ending January 24 1964. Reaching #2 the following week the song went to #1 the week ending February 7 and held the top position for a total of six weeks. “She Loves You” joined the top ten the week ending February 14 at #3 and reached #2 behind “Hand” the following week. The following week ending February 28 The Beatles achieved a triple play holding the top three positions when “Please Please Me” zoomed to # 3 behind “She Loves You” at #2 and “Hand” at #1. The flip side “I Saw Her Standing There” made its first separate KTKT chart entry the week ending February 28 as the co - ranking number one song. The week ending March 13 marks the first entry as a separate listing for the flip of Please Please Me” - as “From Me To You “ makes its first appearance as the co-ranking number 3 record. This gave the Beatles a total of five songs holding the top three positions on the KTKT chart. This same chart also has the debut of “Twist & Shout” by The Beatles at # 15 giving The Beatles a total of six songs on one chart – all ranked #15 or higher. When “Twist & Shout” jumps to #1 the following week ending March 20 the Beatles held the top 4 positions with a total of six songs listed including the charted flip sides.
