While watching part 2 of the Dylan documentary, there was a brief sequence showing the position of Like A Rolling Stone in the charts. I’m pretty sure that the top four entries of that chart read:
1. Help – The Beatles
2. Like A Rolling Stone – The Beatles
3. Unchained Melody – (Unsure exactly who)
4. California Girls – The Beach Boys
OK – so records did tend to hang around for quite a while in those days, but that’s a hell of a top 4 tracks. Number 5 downwards might have been classics too, but I wasn’t quick enough to read them.
