Billboard Top 10 Rock 'n' Roll Hits of 1968 and 1969!

I'm starting to collect 1968-69 info like this - music, news stories, phenomena, whatever. Feel free to add related findings in a comment to the related post.

From Amazon - where you can listen to audio clips - here's the list for 1968:

1. Tighten Up - Archie Bell & the Drells
2. Judy in Disguise (With Glasses) - John Fred & His Playboy Band
3. (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
4. People Got to Be Free - The Rascals
5. Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin
6. Green Tambourine - The Lemon Pipers
7. Cry Like a Baby - The Box Tops
8. Mony Mony - Tommy James & the Shondells
9. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - Ohio Express
10. Horse - Cliff Nobles & Company

Again from Amazon, here is the list from 1969 (somehow I think the Bay Area's list was a little different - with, say, the Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Santana, etc.?):

1. Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In - The 5th Dimension
2. Dizzy - Tommy Roe
3. Sugar, Sugar - The Archies
4. Crimson and Clover - Tommy James & the Shondells
5. Crystal Blue Persuasion - Tommy James & the Shondells
6. Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) - Steam
7. Take a Letter, Maria - R.B. Greaves
8. Build Me Up Buttercup - The Foundations
9. Time of the Season - The Zombies
10. Good Morning Starshine - Oliver
