Bravo annual charts for 1963
BRAVO annual charts 1963
This year's top spot was Boy, Come Back , the biggest hit in Freddy Quinn's career . Two singers are among the newcomers of the year: Manuela , who has since passed away, landed her first hit and then became the most popular pop singer of the 1960s. The Danish Gitte Hænning asked for a cowboy as a man and thus established herself as a successful singer in Germany.
In its 01/1964 issue, the youth magazine BRAVO published the hits of the year in the “Musicbox”: “BRAVO takes stock of the hits from 1963”. In the brochure Die Bravo-musicbox , Christian Müller also compiled a ranking list ( The Hits of 1963 ) of the BRAVO annual charts after evaluating the weekly music boxes using a point system .
