Songs of the Year
Songs of the Year: 1964
A change is coming to the top of the charts. The British invasion is here. But it’s not all across pond, Motown and folk still make strong showings in 1964.
The times they are a-changing. But don’t worry, baby. Listography has you covered.
The year is 1964 and we’re picking our favorite songs of the year.
It’s a simple concept. We pick five of our favorite songs that made the Billboard Top 100 (established in 1958) during any time that year. We also select five “wildcards” that can be any songs released as a single or on an album or EP that year. Finally, we also pick our “worst” song of the year, just for fun.
We started in 1958 and we’re going until we run out of years.
The Beatles dominate the charts, but watch out for the Kinks, Zombies, The Who, The Beach Boys and a cohort of Motown classics like The Supremes, Four Tops and the Temptations. It’s 1964 and the modern rock’n roll era has officially begun.
A nice variety in the songs of the year, but it’s still going to be dominated by the big B’s.
