Another week has passed which means it's now time to dive into the top songs of 1962. 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. It's my personal recommendation that as you go through these lists that you actually listen to the music as you go instead of just looking at the titles. That's why I've provided the videos. It's been a great way for me to learn of new music or be reminded of some good music that I may have forgotten about. I feel that this project can do the same for you. So without further ado, let's see what 1962 had to offer!
#10- "Sherry" - The 4 Seasons
#9- "Return to Sender" - Elvis Presley with The Jordanaires
#8- "Soldier Boy" - The Shirelles
#7- "Peppermint Twist - Part 1" - Joey Dee & The Starliters
