In 1965, Rogers and Hammerstein’s soundtrack to the musical film, The Sound Of Music, landed at the top of the UK album chart, where it remained for an astonishing 70 weeks. It would be named the best-selling album of 1965, 1966, and 1968, and the second-best selling album of the 60s. In the US, the album also went to No.1, remaining in the Top Ten for 109 nine weeks and spending a mind-boggling 238 total weeks on the Billboard 200.
