------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:  The above is the exact listing that WABC used this week.  
There are many questions regarding this list.  For one thing, what 
happened to last week's #1, "Alley Oop" by Dante & the Evergreens, 
on the Madison label?  This week's #2, noted as down from #1, is, 
indeed, "Alley Oop," but it's listed as by the Hollywood Argyles, 
on Lute records.  Some radio stations would on occasion list all 
versions of a song at one position, a la "Your Hit Parade."  But 
there would usually be a reference to all artists involved.  In 
this case, it seems like WABC just replaced Dante & the Evergreens 
with the Hollywood Argyles, giving the latter artist credit for 
the entire chart run of "Alley Oop" up to this point.  Next, the 
two-sided Jackie Wilson hit, both sides of which shared the #52 
position last week, are now separated, one side moving up to #28, 
the other to #20a.  20a!  #20 is by Billy Vaughn.  How was this 
determined?  And why did WABC separate the Jackie Wilson sides?  
Now, take a look at #42, then look at #55.  Why was Elvis 
Presley's "It's Now Or Never," on RCA Victor, given TWO distinct, 
and widely separated, positions?  Did Elvis have a Spanish or 
Italian version of the song?  This is doubtful, or it surely would 
have shown up on collectors' albums by now.  My guess is, that the 
flip, "A Mess of Blues," was the intended #55 position.  However, 
this doesn't explain how "You Mean Everything to Me" by Neil 
Sedaka shows up at #'s 71 and 77, as the flip already shows at 
#76.  I think that WABC had relied on the "Cash Box" charts for so 
long, their own methodology for compiling a survey was still 
suffering growing pains.  While things do improve as the weeks, 
months, years go on, WABC will always be known for anomalies in 
their surveys.
