Chart Notes: The Beatles hold on to the top three spots at WPGC with 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', 'She Loves You' and 'Please, Please Me' at #1, #2 & #3 respectively. The three singles are all on different labels with the songs appearing on Capitol, Swan and Vee-Jay respectively (although Capitol would later acquire the rights to the latter two).

'I Want To Hold Your Hand' is frozen in the #1 position at Milt Grant's Network, WWDC, WEAM and WINX but falls to #2 at WEEL (where the entire 'Meet The Beatles' album takes the #1 spot!). Sensing Beatlemania may be a short lived trend, the song plummets to #7 at WDON. Proving otherwise, 'She Loves You', stays at #2 at Milt Grant's Network and WWDC, moves up to #2 at WINX, and up to #3 at WEAM.

The latest offering from Motown by the Marvelettes, 'He's A Good Guy' moves up to #6 at WDON, falls to #10 on WUST but does not appear in the Top Ten at 'Good Guys Radio', WPGC!

In a strange chart anomaly, no Predicted Hits for any station are listed this week. The likelihood that every station neglected to report their pick hit for the week is exceedingly slim. More likely, whoever called the stations each week at the paper forgot to inquire what the next sure fire hit would be. As promised though, the Predicted Hits did resurface the following week.
