Teenage music tastes shift as new stars rise and fall
Teenagers favor songs with a clear beat and distinctive sound, shifting with each dance craze. The current Top 20 shows groups like The Marvelettes and The Crystals replacing older acts such as The Marathons and The Critters, while twists wane and radio patterns diverge from juke-box trends. Notable constants include Elvis Presley and older names like Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, and Pat Boone, with Dee Dee Sharp’s Gravy For My Mashed Potatoes highlighted as a promising upcoming hit.
