The Hotdisc chart is compiled from DJs and industry professionals’ ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work in Europe because there are no terrestrial country stations. The hundreds of country programmes on air which we service are likely to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it does not work here. Any Airplay Chart you may see claiming to provide this service is bogus and Hotdisc does not condone these charts at all. They are misleading at best for the reasons stated.
The Hotdisc charts are put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months’ editions of Rush Released. The scores are averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the industry professionals are flagging up as quality songs. This is a very useful exercise as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and done solely on merit!

Music Charts Magazine® History
– Song for the month of February 2015:
The Turtles – “Happy Together“
“Happy Together” is a 1967 song from The Turtles’ album of the same name. Released in February 1967, the song knocked The Beatles’ “Penny Lane” out of the number one slot for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the group’s only chart-topper. “Happy Together” reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1967. The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, former members of a band known as The Magicians. The song had been rejected a dozen times before it was offered to The Turtles, and the demo acetate was worn out.
The Turtles song Happy Together has been featured in many movies, including 1970’s The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart, 1983’s Heart Like a Wheel, 1987’s Making Mr. Right, 1987’s Ernest Goes to Camp, 1989’s Happy Together, 1988’s Naked Gun, 1994’s Muriel’s Wedding, 1997’s Happy Together, 2000’s Sorted, 2002’s Adaptation., 2002’s Cherish, 2002’s S1m0ne, 2002’s Bubble Boy, 2003’s Freaky Friday featured “Happy Together,” as well as a cover by Simple Plan, 2004’s Ma Mère, 2005’s Imagine Me & You, 2006’s documentary Blindsight, 2007’s Simpsons Movie, 2008’s 27 Dresses, and 2009’s Stepfather. Frank Alamo’s French cover of the song was featured in the 2010 movie Get Him to the Greek and Scared Shrekless. The song was featured in one of the trailers for the 2013 film The Great Gatsby. It also appears in the 2014 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, sung by one of the title characters who is a literal (though mutated) turtle.
In television, the song has been used in many episodes of The Simpsons including “The Way We Weren’t” and “Trilogy of Error”, and in episodes of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, That ’70s Show (sung by the cast in the episode “That ’70s Musical”), The Muppet Show (sung by guest star Florence Henderson with a set of Muppet Monsters and Frackles), Cupid (sung by Lisa Loeb), Scrubs, ER, The Wonder Years, and the My Name Is Earl episode “Faked His Own Death”.
In advertisement, the song was used in 1980s Golden Grahams ads. In 1999, the song was used for a Super Smash Bros. ad where Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, and Yoshi are fighting in a field of flowers. Toyota (Toyota New Zealand) used for its promotion of the Toyota Rav4 in 2006; the spot was made by New Zealand based Saatchi & Saatchi. In 2009, Ford used the song for the promotion of Ford Focus. The spot was made by Brazil based JWT São Paulo. However, the Ford commercial featured its “employees” singing the song while they designed and manufactured the car rather than the original version of the song recorded by The Turtles.
In sport, it is the official song of Melbourne City in Australia’s A-League.

When I got that colonoscopy in October
they found my car keys, a pair of dice, and a harmonica.
The music business was tough in the old days too.
Most of the unsigned artists and writers that walked Music Row
never got a chance.
I think we had an advantage
because I was an independent producer of other artists for 4 or 5 years
before Misty and I recorded together.
I knew some people.
In the 60’s we put a lot of stuff on our own little label, Zodiac,
and shopped the them around to radio stations and labels.
In 1967, a country DJ named Hoss Moss heard our “Bethlehem Steel” recording,
played it, and called Wayside Records, a label with national distribution.
They signed us for the four songs from our first Nashville indie session,
and that led to an album.
Wayside made a deal for distribution
and that’s how we wound up on Mercury Records.
We played a lot of Cavalcade of Stars country shows,
and were often asked to be the closing act,
because we did some other stuff the audience liked.
At The Garden State Art Center there were ten big names on the show.
Every act went overtime and they made us cut our show to 10 minutes.
That’s what the union demanded.
We were mad and so was the audience.
I’d do it all again.
We did a show at Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
Our hosts were Harden & Weaver, top DC radio personalities.
Their English comic counterparts, The Two Ronnies, were there too.
Also on the show was The US Navy Band!
Misty and had a lot of fun that day, even if we were outnumbered.
Starday Records was once a giant in country music, with a roster of superstars.
I was producing at Starday Studios in the 1960s,
when Willie Nelson was a writer there,
and not getting enough respect from the owner.
I wrote and produced for several Starday Records artists.
Also some for Pete Drake’s Stop Records.
Misty Morgan recorded a song on Starday under the name Maryanne Mail.
It was called “The Lonely Sentry”
and was on the Starday LP “Country Music Goes to War”.
The war at the time was Viet Nam.
Bill Littleton has died. He was a fellow writer,
and I admired his takes on music and life.
We were sort of pen pals, exchanging points of view,
which included the occasional argument.
As is true with all of my late cohorts, I miss knowing that he’s there.
We were having dinner with Major Schwab at the Shaw AFB Officers’ Club.
The waiter poured a tiny bit of wine in Misty’s glass for her to okay it.
She had such a disappointed expression!
Misty looked up at him and said, “Is that it?”
I just learned how many people uploaded our songs to YouTube.
Along with the songs we uploaded, we’ve had well over a million views.
Amazing, the money we don’t get!
Misty says Social Security is “Go away money.”
It’s “Here’s some money. Now go away.”
A LOVE SONG… “Fly Me to Your Room..”
A TROUBLED MARRIAGE SONG.. “You light up my wife”.
A LOVE SONG FOR WHEN YOU DON’T REALLY CARE ALL THAT MUCH…
“I get empathetic over you.”
VINTAGE CARS…
My ’47 Packard was the first car to have power operated seats. Great car.
Our ’64 Plymouth Valiant was the first car to have an alternater.
It was still a piece of crap.
A SIDE EFFECT…
Misty said, “All those inhalers are making you depressed.”
I said, “I get depressed when I can’t breathe.”
If I’ve ever accidentally written anything to offend radical Muslims,
I was only kidding. Haha.
I’m heading for the roundhouse.
They can’t corner me there.

Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan…
Grammy & CMA Award Finalists.
