My notes don’t show a Discovery for this week.

A big shakeup in the top ten this week, as songs jump up from 13, 19, 27 and 39, plus a debut at number 10.  “Boys” by the Beatles was a track from their first British album, “Please Please Me,” which at this point had appeared in the US only as a track from the album “Introducing…The Beatles.”  Last week’s survey was down to just one Beatles song, “Ask Me Why,” which drops off this week, so again it seems as though KJR was desperate for more Beatles.  “Boys” would eventually appear on a US single, in 1965, and at that point Bubble Under in Billboard at number 102.  But here at KJR, and here in 1964, it will reach number one.

All the other debuts this week were Hot 100 hits, with the biggest differential being for Chuck Berry’s “Little Marie,” a number 54 BB hit that will get to number 18 next week.
