Chartfax USA
| ||||||||||
You have before you a basic survey of the charting US releases of The Beach Boys - band, solo(ish) and the odd collaboration - from early 1962 to date. The format is pretty self-explanatory: title/highest position/total weeks on chart/chart debut. Compilation albums are in italics. However a few words of explanation: the creation of the Catalog Chart in March 1991 unquestionably robbed Sounds Of Summer of dozens (hundreds ?) more weeks on the main chart... and for those wondering why neither the "Little St. Nick" or "The Man With All The Toys" singles are listed from when they were originally released, or why The Beach Boys Christmas Album has a chart debut in 2019 and a "high" of only #99 , the answer is that back in the day, there were seperate Christmas charts for such releases, thus they weren't included in the main listings (for completists, both singles peaked at #3 and the album at #6, and would doubtless have reached similar heights in the "real" charts). As ever, comments, additions and corrections welcomed at bellagio@btinternet.com. Edit 12/30/20: "Little St. Nick" made its hugely belated debut on the singles chart w/e 1/2/21, 57 years and 24 days after its original release, and presumably purely on dowloads & streaming. | ||||||||||
