My friend and I are having a discussion what year Bobby Darin had the hit Beyond the sea in the uk charts. I say 1960. He says 1959. Whom is right please. Thank you

Hi It reached number 8 on January 29th 1960

Released late 1959. But became a hit early 1960 apparently, from what I gathered by googling? So probably you are both right. Smiles all round.

Where did you find the exact date di1606.
29th January 1960.
I thought it was 4th February 1960 interesting

According to this it was released in late 1959 and charted in the UK in early 1960.

//Where did you find the exact date di1606.//
Think it depend's on what date you mean- the charts used to come out several days after the end of the sales week in the days when shops had to post off lists of sales.
Now they can do it twice a week instantly based on steams/downloads
