On With The Countdown (#180 - #171)

#180 - NEVER MY LOVE by THE ASSOCIATION
(Currently the second-most played song in the history of pop radio, right behind The Righteous Brothers' Hit "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" ... yet NOT a #1 Record?!?!?  It topped the chart in Cash Box ... which was good enough for a #180 showing on our list!)



#179 - MY GIRL by THE TEMPTATIONS
A classic ... yet incredibly this record only went to #1 in Billboard ... 
it failed to reach the top in Cash Box and Record World!

#178 - TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME by TYRONE DAVIS

#177 - THE RAPPER by THE JAGGERZ

#176 - SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, I'M YOURS by STEVIE WONDER

#175 - LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD by SAM THE SHAM AND THE PHARAOHS

#174 - YELLOW SUBMARINE by THE BEATLES
(The first of 24 entries by The Fab Four!)

#173 - I GOT RHYTHM by THE HAPPENINGS
(This was a #1 Record in Cash Box Magazine.  The Happenings also topped the Record World  Charts with their version of "See You In September" ... but it didn't earn enough points to make our Top 200 Countdown)

#172 - EASY TO BE HARD by THREE DOG NIGHT
(One of THREE "Hair" songs to make the list!)

#171 - SOUL MAN by SAM AND DAVE
