Very Popular?

At the end of 1962, the Beatles made the New Musical Express annual popularity poll. How many votes did they receive and did they win?

They arrived 5th for the best British Vocal group in 1962.
But I don't know how many votes did they get http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif

It took a lot of searching, but I found a source that said the Beatles earned 3906 votes in the 1962 poll. As Claudia78 already said, they placed fifth for Best British Vocal Group.

I'm in a generous state of mind tonight, so I'll award both Claudia78 and SF4-EVER one point each. FYI, The Springfields won top honors that year with a total of 21,843 votes.

Scores:
Brodacious - 3
SF4-EVER - 3
Claudia78 -1
FPSHOT - 1
MalEvans - 1
