This is easily one of the most bland and forgettable years for popular music ever. Nonetheless, there are a few songs that do shine in spite of the year's formulaic simplicity.

1. Stand By Me / Ben E. King
2. Walkin' Back to Happiness / Helen Shapiro
3. The Wanderer / Dion
4. Surrender / Elvis Presley
5. Kon-Tiki / The Shadows
6. Don't Treat Me Like a Child / Helen Shapiro
7. Hit the Road, Jack / Ray Charles
8. Big Bad John / Jimmy Dean
9. It's Gonna Work Out Fine / Ike & Tina Turner
10. Crying / Roy Orbison
