Censorship of some sorts? Casey played Snookeroo instead of No No Song. John, Paul and Ringo all on the Top 40 this week!!
I graduated High School in 1976. This may not be the finest play list ever, but it brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing.
I have a special feeling for the good the bad and the ugly- from that period also.
You have to dig through this one but there are some good ones…again I know 95 percent or more of them. Many of them good or bad is still played.
too bad George didnt have anything out- i wonder if there was ever a week where all 4 had solo hits on the chart?
Hmm…. good question…I’ll have to find that out. My guess would be 1970 or 74…I’m going to look it up
This is the only thing I found…the top 100

It’s interesting…3 of them would get the top 40 but I dont think the 4 of them did.
thanks. i found it a long shot that all 4 would make it at the same time but you never know..
It came close that week… I wonder if later they discussed not to compete with each other and release at different times.
you would think but the one that got me was Paul releasing McCartney right around the same time as Let It Be came out..
Oh yes when he told Ringo to get out of his house.
When you are being nasty to Ringo– you have issues…
What an eclectic list of music. You just don’t see that anymore. Now, Billboard has so many separate lists & Top 40 has narrowed into one genre.
