Most Popular Song Each Month in the 60s

Updated thoughts about the videos of this channel are in the pinned comment, posted on April 30, 2024.

Old description:

In this video, you'll see the most popular songs throughout each month in the 60s. The tunes selected for this video are the ones that reached #1 or at least ranked higher in more countries than other hits in the same month, but it's not very accurate since many of them were number one for different periods, and I didn't want to repeat any song.

Mostly based on Wikipedia charts.

After reading hundreds of comments trying to guess the country, I must say: It's not about the US or the UK. It's a mix of many countries and none in particular.

I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life.

Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if there was ever a time in the beginning where there was nothing, wouldn’t there still be nothing? Then it’s wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed, causing the existence of everything else.

Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill:

THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com

The Beatles truly changed it all. The first 3 years of the 60's sounded just like the 1950's. Truly amazing what they accomplished in such a short span of time.

I'm 73 years now and I still get thrilled with these songs!!!They're part of my life!!!

[qgspdnq]

I'm 75yrs old and these songs still move me. So much of our life back then was centred around these songs. Thank you sincerely for giving me the memories back surrounding these songs

[ruthwoodin]

I was 14 years old in 1960. These song are my life from a child to an adult. Thanks for the memories!!!!

[chokispokis]

I am a Beatles fan and I knew what was coming but when January 1964 pop up, I couldn't resist to smile

The stark change in 1964 is absolutely incredible.

Music from 1964 onwards: *exists*
The Beatles: "And we took that personally"

[johnroberts]

Im 78 now and it was great to hear these songs again. Thank you for your hard work putting this all together

[garyloewenthal]

Elvis really dominated the pre-Beatles years. Then the Beatles changed everything. Big shoutout to the Stones, too.

[virtualwhispers]

I'm 70 years old now, so I grew up with all of these songs. They always said that old age is the golden years - Well I think they put the gold in the wrong place - From the 50s to the 90s is where you will truly find the gold. These songs bring back such beautiful memories, that it breaks my heart to know the kids of today will not experience the beautiful life we had back then. The way the world is today - all the specialty has sadly been stripped away.

my parents were babies having babies - these are the songs of their twenties but as a baby of summer of 1960 - this is the playlist of the first ten years of my life - learned to walk and dance to all those great tunes of 1960 - 62 😉🤭 glad YT recommended you 😃🤗

[MrMenefrego]

Now, THIS is music! The bittersweet memories that go with those contentious days will live in my heart until the day I die.

By the mid-60's, boomers like me were obsessed with music. Every month brought a new mania, and a hot, new 45 to buy.

[lduranceau]

I would imagine that this video was a tremendously big job to put together. For all your work, thank you.

[budnikovalexandr]

I'm a Beatles fan, but it makes me cry when I see Elvis's Suspicious Mind in 1970. It's just like King's return from nothingless.

[evamariafloresgranados]

Early 60s still had that classy and relaxed vibe of the 50s but since mid 60s it totally changed to more progressive and bold
