The 1960s were a decade of turbulence and great music. There is no one way to list the top songs of the decade, any way to do so is doomed to leave off some top bands and songs. So in order to cover the 1960s I just took the # 1 Billboard song of the year, for each of the years of the 1960s. Which song is here that should not be, or which song should have been # 1 but was not…. I’ll leave that up to you.
The following songs were the # 1 hit songs for the year listed below
60 Theme From 'A Summer Place' - Percy Faith 61 Tossin' And Turnin' - Bobby Lewis 62 I Can't Stop Lovin' You - Ray Charles 63 Sugar Shack - Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs 64 I Want To Hold Your Hand - the Beatles 65 (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - Rolling Stones 66 I'm A Believer - the Monkees 67 To Sir With Love - Lulu 68 Hey Jude - The Beatles 69 Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In - 5th Dimension
