Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?

Now entering 1963, we're the sound of the decade start to solidify. Many future heavy-hitters of the decade made their debuts in the Billboard Year-End 100 this year. This is still before the popularity of Motown Records in the mainstream (although, the label was founded in 1958), but we're already seeing acts reminiscent of their 60's sound. I should also mention that this top ten isn't the list that was published in the December 1963 edition of Billboard Magazine. Rather, I'm using a later list that was compiled using additional data. That feels too vague for my liking and I'm currently working on finding the details (I'll update this post if I find anything). But this seems to be the generally-agreed upon list, so that's the one I'm going with. My apologies for robbing Surfin' U.S.A. of its number 1 spot. This also won't be the last time we deal with these "updated lists."

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.
