List of number-one hits of 1965 (Peru)

The year 1965 saw a vibrant and diverse music scene in Peru, reflected in the songs that topped the charts. Unlike some countries with official charting systems, definitive, verifiable lists of number-one hits for Peru in 1965 are scarce and often rely on anecdotal evidence and radio airplay charts that may not be fully comprehensive.

While precise ranking methodologies from that era are difficult to access or reconstruct now, available information suggests that popular genres included música criolla (Peruvian Creole music), ballads, and increasingly, international rock and pop hits translated or performed by local artists. Peruvian interpretations of songs popularized by the British Invasion were becoming increasingly fashionable.

Efforts to compile a definitive list are often hampered by the lack of centralized record sales data or consistently published charts. What is often relied upon are recollections from radio personalities and contemporary news articles. However, the surviving information paints a picture of a lively musical landscape where traditional Peruvian sounds coexisted with emerging international influences. Further research is needed to solidify a more accurate list of chart-topping songs from this period.
