Roy Orbison had a string of hits during which years?

• A. 1962 and 1963
• B. 1952 and 1953
• C. 1972 and 1973
• D. 1982 and 1983

Answer: (A)

Roy Orbison hit his peak run of charting singles in the early 1960s, with a clear string of hits around 1962 and 1963. During this period his dramatic vocal style and memorable ballads translated into multiple songs climbing the Billboard charts in successive releases, creating a consecutive streak rather than isolated successes. The other year pairs fall outside that sustained run—either earlier in his career or later—so they don’t capture the same continuous streak of hits. That makes 1962 and 1963 the best answer, reflecting the period when he was actively delivering a rapid flow of charting songs.
