*Although "Back In My Arms Again" was listed as the No. 1 record of the year by
Cash Box, this ranking could not have been based on the record's weekly chart
positions: The Beach Boys' "Help Me, Rhonda" entered the Top 100 the week before
"Arms"; during the next 11 weeks, "Rhonda" held a higher chart position for 10 of
those weeks (the only exception being the one week that "Arms" was No. 1, the week
before "Rhonda" moved into the top spot itself); and "Rhonda" remained on the chart
for one more week after "Arms" dropped off. Despite all this, "Rhonda" was listed
at only No. 30 on the year-end chart (which is about right, when compared with the
chart runs of the records in nearby positions). Clearly, the No. 1 ranking for
"Arms" was a major error, or it was based on criteria other than the record's
weekly chart positions.
