Contrary to popular belief, many of the songs were American Top 40 hits: more than a third of the original "Nuggets" would fall into that category, while Rhino's expanded set featured such smash hits as "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock (#1), "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen (#2), "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs (#2), "Little Bit o' Soul" by the Music Explosion (#2), and "Time Won't Let Me" by the Outsiders (#5).
Это утверждение верно для более, чем трети оригинального выпуска "Nuggets", в то время как Rhino Records расширили список, включив в треклист такие суперхиты, как «Incense and Peppermints» Strawberry Alarm Clock (№ 1), «Louie, Louie» The Kingsmen (№ 2), «Wooly Bully» Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs (№ 2), «Little Bit o' Soul» The Music Explosion (№ 2) и «Time Won’t Let Me» The Outsiders (№ 5).
