some good tunes here. I believe the Sugar Magnolia single was an edit from the live 'Europe 72' set, and not the original from American Beauty. Does your chart source give any details?

PS, a little digging in my source area confirms the Europe 72 version:

"Once In A Lifetime" would have been off of the Stop Making Sense sound track, rather than it's original release, too. Made popular by the big suit and weird hand gestures.

Good songs, in both years, though I would have ordered them differently. I'm a big ABB fan, but the repetitive Revival leaves me cold. "Psycho Killer," on the other hand, is high on my list of favorite songs by any artist.

"Bell Bottom Blues" would have topped the 91 list.

No, I just get this from the Charts & Awards tab on the band profiles in Allmusic. There are sub headings for albums, singles & grammys. The singles tab includes every Billboard chart that a song might appear on, but a nice feature is that it's sortable by column, so can sort by date, or chart, etc.

btw, I actually modified my list for y'all. In fact "Hands Across The Sea", Modern English's follow-up to "I Melt With You", would probably be right behind "Sugar Magnolia", but I sincerely doubt any of you have ever heard it.

this is freakin' awesome. For me, just to waltz through 1961-65, clicking on individual dates along the way is a huge sledgehammer. Tell your friend thank you.
