Bravo annual charts for 1962

Hot sand and a lost land , that is the chorus of the biggest hit of the youngsters in the year of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The international songs are still in the background. Speedy Gonzales of Rex Gildo had a cover version of the original from Pat Boone to far greater success in the Bravo-readers. The most successful Americans were Gus Backus with his sauerkraut polka in 13th place and Connie Francis , one of the most popular singers.

In its 02/1963 issue, the youth magazine BRAVO presented the most successful hits of 1962 in the Bravo Musicbox category under the headline “Longing for sun and distance” . In his brochure Die Bravo-musicbox, Christian Müller has also compiled a ranking of the BRAVO annual charts based on the results of the weekly music boxes using a point system.
