Info from Top 40 magazine, August 1989 and John Samson, September 2000.

South African artists are highlighted.

Meadowlands The Meteors recorded their 1st single during 1962. Rob Allingham confirmed that the date of the recording session was 17 May 1962. 'Meadowlands' was their 2nd single and confirms my argument that this 1960 chart list is incorrect.
