Bravo annual charts 1960
The young people of 1960 continued to listen to dreamy songs that embodied the longing for the distance, such as Lolita's number one place with her sea shanty, or that have eternal loyalty to the content such as Heidi Brühl's greatest hit We never want to go apart . The Red River Rock in 7th place was a pure musical piece. The summer hit of the year Marina meant that numerous girls born in 1960 were delighted with that very first name. The 10th place of chanson legend Édith Piaf with the French chanson Milord is surprising . For the first time (although in the lower places) Elvis Presley appears in the charts, but with the completely atypical O sole mio at number 15. Other hit revergreens that were able to place in the lower places were Vico Torriani's Calcutta is on the Ganges at number 12 and morning of Ivo Robic tied with Elvis at No. 15. the poor rankings of American rock stars are also on the broadcasters who tend served at that time the general public taste and rarely played Anglo-American titles.
The BRAVO-year charts appeared originally in issue 4/1961 of the youth magazine under the heading Bravo jukebox 1960. In the brochure the BRAVO musicbox Christian Muller (2000), a ranking of the titles listed in the weekly Music boxes on a point system in the Hits of the year compiled.
