I'm a Believer written by Neil Diamond, performed by The Monkees. That was the largest selling single. It spent 7 weeks at #1, longer than any other song during the decade of the 1960s.

The second biggest seller, with five weeks at #1, was To Sir, With Love performed by Lulu. Another Monkees song, Daydream Believer, spent 4 weeks on top of the charts. The biggest hit in the UK was Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale, which reached the top 5 in the USA.

Answer 4

The most popular song was Hey Jude, but the number 2 was Love is Blue and for a wedding I would think that would be used more. Number 3 was Honey and that was a good song too for a wedding. This Guy is in Love with You would also be used a lot.

Answer 5

Probably Good Vibrations, but that's subjective.
