Note: This was the last WPGC Top Ten list published by the (Washington) Evening Star as part of the 'Area Disc Jockeys Pick Top Ten Records' feature in the Teen section on Fridays. The following week, the publication day changed to Saturdays.

Chart Notes: The Fab Foursome continue their amazing run with 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'All My Loving' holding on to the top two postions at WPGC. Meanwhile, 'She Loves You' drops a few notches from #3 - #6 (and goes on to be the #2 song of the year on the WPGC Top 100 of 1964) while'Twist And Shout' drops one from #4 - #5. But just as 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' finally drops out of the Top Ten (and ends the year as the #1 song on the WPGC Top 100 of 1964), another Beatles tune replaces it as 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' debuts in the Top Ten at #10.

In a staggering display of absolute chart domination not seen before or since, every single song in the Top Ten at WEAM is by the Beatles this week!!! Elsewhere, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' moves from #9 - #5 on Milt Grant's Network and 'She Loves You' falls from #5 - #7 on Milt Grant's Network, moves up from #8 - #2 at WINX and falls from #1 - #3 at WHMC.

'Can't Buy Me Love' can't be stopped as it sits a top the #1 spot for the second week at WEEL, jumps from #3 - #1 at WWDC and leaps #8 - #2 on Milt Grant's Network.

'Please Please Me' falls from #3 - #9 at Milt Grant's Network, ascends #6 - #3 at WWDC and debuts in the Top Ten at #6 at WHMC.

'Twist And Shout' hangs on to #1 for the second week in a row on Milt Grant's Network, falls #3 - #5 at WEEL, moves #4 - #1 at WINX and debuts in the Top Ten at #7 at WWDC.

'Do You Want To Know A Secret' hovers at #3 this week at WEEL while 'Thank You Girl' is this week's 'Predicted Hit' at WWDC.
