It's Monday again, which means it's now time to dive into the second year of the 1960's. If you are new this week, I had a goal recently to determine what the top songs of all time were based on a formula that I came up with to keep track of the top songs on the Billboard charts each year. Here's the methodology: each year of the chart I go week by week, giving points to the songs that make the top 10. The #1 song gets 10 points, the #2 song gets 9 points, all the way down to the #10 song getting 1 point. I could've done the whole hot 100 like this, but that would've been too time consuming, so I just stuck to the top 10 for now. If you are wanting to check out previous years that I've done, you can follow the links at the bottom of each list to browse through the years or you can search through the blog archives on the side. So without further ado, let's dive into 1961! This was a year where I didn't recognize many of the songs just by the title, but when I listened to them I quickly learned there were a lot of fun songs, so for the most positive experience I suggest you listen to all the songs instead of just looking at the title. Perhaps you might discover some good music that you hadn't known before.
