Tom Jones rose to the top of the UK singles chart with "It's Not Unusual" 50 years ago today, marking the first time the vocalist would top the charts across the pond. He would only go on to do it twice more, including during 1967 with "Green, Green Grass of Home." Topping the British charts twice is great but it wasn't nearly enough to land a spot on the Official Chart Company's records of the most no. 1 singles during the decade (The OCC began tracking singles during 1969, but has the charts archived by New Music Express and Record Retailer going all the way back to 1952). American listeners may be surprised to learn about acts such as Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Shadows and Cliff Richard.
