#2 - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
I didn't explain myself well in my last e-mail. The following (2) 1976 ChartEntries should be removed from this 1962 recording & transferred to a new 1976 version of this same song. 1. Canada RPM 1 for 1 week - Feb. 1976. 2. Record World 10 - 1976. You should then be able to add a new Billboard entry to this new song - Billboard #8 - 14 weeks.
We've created a new entry and think that what you suggest has been implimented
Thanks

#2 - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
A newer slow version of this song was released in late 1975 & should be addedto this list.
I'm pretty sure the following (2) 1976 Chart Entries should be removed from this 1962 recording & transferred to the 1975 one. 1. Canada RPM 1 for 1 week - Feb. 1976. 2. Record World 10 - 1976. This newer version also made the Billboard charts - 8 - 14 weeks.
Not sure what this is reffering to. The song "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" doesn't have a 1975 version

Really good site for Mr. Sedaka.
