Here are the new entries ranked from best to worst:
Although we only have 6 new entries this month one thing I was pleasantly surprised by was the variety given we were still in the pre-rock n roll era.
The best record this month is the debut of the original Liverpool superstar Frankie Vaughan. It's a novelty record but an enjoyable listen particularly in in era when a lot of music was boring.
In 2nd place we have familiarity in the shape of "That's Amore" by Dean Martin which is described as being Napoletana music. Not a record I would listen to out of choice but I'd have no objections to anybody else playing it and it certainly isn't boring.
Eddie Fisher is very much a traditional pop artist and my familiarity with this record helps it into 3rd place though I don't particularly like it. Then we have a children's choir in 4th place, a more uplifting number but sounds a bit silly.
Then we have an orchestra in 5th place with a piece of music I've already forgotten how it goes. Then at the bottom is a country record that's not the worst thing that I've heard but not my thing.
Overall the variety is good but I can't really say the same for the quality of the music.
Score: 30
