Den 11. september
1965 toppede The Beatles hitlisterne med nummeret "HELP", se
nedenfor.
 Et
andet musiknummer fra dengang - som "Unchained melody",
der er blevet indspillet igen og igen og senest fremført af U2
ved
Live8
koncerten - er et typisk eksempel på, at de ting der blev produceret i 1965 er tidløse klassikere,
der kun bliver bedre og bedre!!!
Og der kendes jo andre
skelsættende begivenheder fra 1965, der bekræfter denne
sandhed!! J
(U2 indspillede i øvrigt coverversionen af "Unchained melody" i
1989 som B-side til singlen "All
I want is you")
Top 100 Hits of
1965
By 1965, the Equals began doing dates in Europe as well, and
released their first single on President Records. Though "Hold
Me Closer" didn't perform on the charts, DJs began playing the
flip side and by 1967 "Baby, Come Back" had hit the top of the
charts in Germany and the Netherlands. One year later, the
single hit number one in Britain as well, and brushed the charts
in America.
These are the #1 Hits of 1965:
