You're making great progress. Just two years before we get to the 1960s now.

 

Thanks Rollo, only about a fortnight now until the 1960s, assuming I keep up the same pace. Then a few days after that the Record Retailer top 50 arrives and chaos breaks out, as the early days of that publication's charts seem difficult to pin down with accuracy for some reason. Anyway for now on with today's episode.

 

The One Week Wonders - Episode 34

 

First today is Charlie Gracie, who debuted in the UK charts with a #12 hit, Butterfly, the same song that Andy Williams took to the top spot then spent years supressing as he disliked it so much. Charlie then had two top ten hits, before this one charted as his last chart hit in the UK. Charting at #26 on 11th January 1958 is Cool Baby.

 

Next up is Jim Dale, real name James Smith, who was following up a #2 hit with Be My Girl. This is Just Born (To Be My Baby) which charted at #27 on 11th January 1958. The other side of this disc, Crazy Dream, then charted for the following two weeks, peaking at #24.

 

The last one for today is a US number one that is often included on CD collections of hits of the 50s/60s, and is generally considered to be a classic, but in this country it had only one week at #29 on 18th January 1958. It's Sam Cooke and You Send Me. This is Sam's UK chart debut, and he went on to have a fair few hits, but probably his biggest one in this country is Wonderful World, which eventually reached #2 when it was reissued in 1986, and only missed out on the top spot that week due to a Comic Relief single.

What a great vocalist Sam Cooke was,one of the first soul singers. As for Jim Dale,I know him best for the many Carry On films he starred in and he's one of only a few actors from them who is still alive.

The One Week Wonders - Episode 35

 

Apologies for this being a really late one tonight...

 

We start this episode with the King of Swing, Louis Prima, probably best known as the voice of King Louie in The Jungle Book. The song is Buona Sera, which was later a #7 hit for Mr Acker Bilk, and even later reached #34 by Bad Manners. Louis' version charted at #25 on 22nd February 1958. This would have been Louis' only week of UK chart action had it not been for Kids See Ghosts (aka Kanye West and Kid Cudi) sampling a 1936 xmas single of his for their track 4th Dimension and giving him a featured artist credit, but more of that when/if we reach summer 2018!

 

Staying with the same week, and moving from #25 to #30, and from Swing to Country, we have Bobby Helms with No Other Baby, a song that Paul McCartney got into the top 50 in 1999.

 

Finally we have Paul Anka, who the previous year had had a big hit with Diana. This is Crazy Love, which charted at #26 on 31st May 1958.

I don't remember Bad Manners' version of Buona Sera but I can see how it would have been a good choice for them to cover.

I don't comment much on this as I can't relate to the 1950s chart much but find it really interesting to hear some of the famous voices and how they fit into music history.

The One Week Wonders - Episode 36

 

We start today with 'Britain's Ricky Nelson' as the US called him, Jackie Dennis. He had been discovered in 1958 by Mike and Bernie Winters, and they got him onto the Six-Five Special at just 15 years old. His first charting single, La Dee Dah, had peaked at #4. This is his only other charting single, a cover of the Sheb Wooley U.S. charttoper The Purple People Eater, which charted at #29 on 29th June 1958.

 

Next we have the only week on the UK chart for Italian vocalist Renato Carosone and his Sextet. The song is Terero - Cha Cha Cha, which charted at #25 on 4th July 1958. There was another version of Terero on the charts, by Julius Larosa, which peaked at #15.

 

And staying with the same week for our last one today, but dropping down to #26 we have Fats Domino and Sick And Tired.

The Jackie Dennis song was so strange. :wacko:

I didn't manage to post an episode last night or the night before, so I'm going to do a triple episode now to catch up to today.

 

The One Week Wonders - Episode 37, 38 and 39

 

We move forward one week from where we left off last time, to 12th July 1958. Charting at #27 that week was Michael Holliday with I'll Always Be In Love With You. Here's a recording of a performance of that song, but the original single sounds slightly different, so I'll link it below too.

 

Original Single: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYZaakMthPA

 

Next up we move to 9th August 1958, to David Whitfield's penultimate hit during his lifetime, The Right To Love, which charted at #30.

 

Our final one for episode 37 is from 30th August 1958, and is one that only exists if you believe the OCC and Guiness versions of the chart for that week. The originally printed chart in NME (so far as I can gather) and the NME charts book, compiled from that original chart, have a slightly different version (** see below for more details). The one week wonder in question is Russ Conway's Got A Match, and if the OCC/Guinness version of the chart is correct it charted at #30, otherwise it technically didn't chart at all, but would unofficially be at #31.

 

Episode 38 begins with two hits from 27th September 1958. The higher of the two is Paul Anka' Midnight, which charted at #26.

 

The other is Lonnie Donegan's lowest chart peak for a single, #28, and is Lonesome Traveller. Here he is performing it on Putting On The Dongean in 1960.

 

The final single in episode 38 is Frankie Avalon's debut single, Ginger Bread, which charted at #30 on 11th October 1958.

 

Episode 39 begins with the other side to a #9 hit called Someday. The artist is Ricky Nelson, whose biggest hit was Hello Mary Lou, which hit #2 in 1961. The other side in question is I Got A Feeling. Here he is performing it on the US show Ozzie and Harriet.

 

Next up is something a bit different, it's the only week of UK chart action for U.S. jazz drummer Cozy Cole. The single is listed as Topsy (Part 1 & 2) and here's both parts (though I assume they formed either side of the disc). Topsy charted at #29 on 6th December 1958.

 

Finally for this episode we stick with the same week and move down to #30, for Gee But It's Lonely by Pat Boone.

 

And that concludes 1958, so I'll carry on tomorrow night with 1959.

 

 

 

**The OCC/GBBHS version has two singles tied at 17th, then 18th-21st placed singles, then two tied at 23rd, then 24th-25th, two tied at 27th then 28th-30th, for a total of 15 records from 17th to 30th. NME originally had one single at 17th place, with the other OCC 17th dropped to 18th. The OCC's 18th-21st positions appear at 19th-22nd according to NME, then the tied 23rd positions agree in all sources. From there the OCC's 24th and 25th are NME's 25th and 26th. All sources again agree that the two tied 27ths are the same. OCC follows this with singles in 28th-30th positions, whilst the NME book has only 29th and 30th, which are the ones in 28th and 29th places on OCC, whilst our One Week Wonder is the one that was 30th according to OCC, but does not appear according to NME (or could be argued to be an unofficial 31st?). The thing is the OCC version has inconsistent rules for ties, and it's seems to me weird that all the versions have the two ties at 23 and 27, given that the some versions have an tie at 17, which should push things down one according to how tied positons are normally followed on the chart, yet it's the version where everything ought to be placed one lower that manages to have an extra hit popping in at 30. I've read in the comments under the chart that the OCC supposedly missed the Coasters hit, which was one of the tied 17th places, but then someone else says it was in the original NME chart, which they reproduce, and which matches what the NME chart book has.

My theory is that the Coasters were indeed missed, and then a later correction in NME stated they should be inserted into that chart at #17, but didn't make clear if the existing 17th place moved one down, or if both were tied with one another. The compilers of the NME Book assumed everything should move down one and duly did this, causing our one week wonder to drop out the chart (effectively moving to 31st in a Top 30), and preserving usual rules for what follows a tied postion. Meanwhile Guinness, the OCC and so on have assumed a tied 17th place, then shown 18th-21st as listed in NME, which for the tied 17th assumption to be true mean's NME must have not printed a #22 (or else had Coasters erroneously at #22). This now leaves a gap at that position on the OCC version since their next position is the tied 23rd. NME followed it with 25th and 26th, but again the OCC version follows the incorrect rule for what follows ties that had been inadvertently established with the assumed tied 17th being followed by an 18th, and therefore has a 24th and 25th. All then agree on the tied 27ths, meaning the OCC also has no 26th, then the OCC keeps hold of our One Week Wonder by having 28th-30th, whilst I assume the NME meant for it to drop out as everything moved down, leaving only 29th-30th.

 

I think the highlights from that batch are the songs by Russ Conway,Frankie Avalon,Ricky Nelson and Cozy Cole.

 

You can hear how Cozy Cole would have been a big influence on the rock drummers who started their careers in the 1960s. It's how Cozy Powell chose his stage name.

Hi all. I have the scans from NME at the time and this is how they handled it

 

Scan for 29 August

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gl8xrrauw87dbl8/1...%20Pop.pdf?dl=0

 

Scan for 5 September

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ftld5ytrqjlhbwe/1...%20Pop.pdf?dl=0

 

The NME chart as printed on 5 Sep has decided to retain all the last week positions as printed and provide a * for the position of the Coasters. This means it’s up to the eventual cataloguer you decide what to do.

 

As such the usual thing is to do either

A) move all entries down and place Coasters at 17. Doing this gives Russ at 3-

B) ties at 17. Doing this gives Russ a position of 30.

I think I have made a joint 17. Can’t check right now as away from the database.

Graham Betts has gone with the tied option at 17 and this whole different from the OCC website will now be considered definitive.

That said you can make your own minds up based on the two scans above :)

Thanks for sharing those scans Lonnie. So NME did miss out Yakety Yak at the time, then issued a correction, of sorts. My feeling is that they would have said if it was intended to be a tied 17th position, and in any case to be consistent with the other two lowers ties, where the next place below skips a number, that ought to still cause everything below to moved down one. I think personally I would take the week to be a one-off Top 31, and say that Russ had a one week wonder at #31 that week. I think this is in effect what the NME chart book does, as everything shifts down, and Russ drops off (though there is a nice gap under that specific chart where they could have given him number 31 in the book, so perhaps they did intend to, but removed it at the last second leaving the gap?).

I'm away in Bath today, and have already fallen two days behind (again...) so rather than wait for it to rollover to a quadruple post I'm going to simply list the tracks with very basic detail (straight from my Word document), then edit in videos and extra information at a later point. Hope that's OK.

 

The One Week Wonders - Episodes 40, 41 and 42

 

We start with a bonus single. A very well known recording that originally only had a single week in the charts. It's Buddy Holly's Heartbeat, which charted at #30 on 17th January 1959. It was reissued in 1960 and again reached #30. A week later Buddy joined several other Rock'n'Roll musicians for the 'Winter Dance Party' tour across the midwest of the US. The venues for the tour were often hundreds of miles apart, and the musicians had to travel through a very cold winter on drafty and unreliable buses. On one occasion their bus broke down in the middle of nowhere and the cold the musicians endured led to some getting flu, and to drummer Carl Bunch having to be hospitalised for frostbite. Buddy was frustrated by this disregard for the musicians health, and after a show in Clear Lake, Iowa on 2nd February he chartered a plane to the location of the next show. There were four seats on the plane, two already taken by Buddy and the pilot, and another two that legend has it the other musicians tossed for. One version of these events says that Waylon Jennings orginally won the toss for a seat, but that because the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson) was falling ill with flu he was granted the seat instead. On hearing that Waylon wasn't flying Buddy said to him in jest 'Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up' to which Waylon replied 'Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes'. This exchange haunted Waylon for the rest of his life as tragically, shortly after take off, in the early hours of the 3rd February 1959, Buddy's plane did just that. It came to be known as the day the music died. As well as the pilot, 21 year old Roger Peterson, the world lost three amazing musicians, Ritchie Valens, who was just 17, The Big Bopper, 28 and of course 22 year old Buddy Holly.

 

Next up we have Joni James, who we last saw on our list back in March 1953. In fact that hit, and this one represent the only two weeks she ever had on chart in this country. The single is There Must Be A Way, which charted at #24 on 31st January 1959

 

Then we have another bonus single. Willingly was the other side of Malcolm Vaughan's hit single Wait For Me. Initially both sides were listed on the chart for its chart debut at 28th February 1959 at #28. When it reentered the charts a fortnight later for a further 14 weeks, peaking at #13, it appears that only Wait For Me was listed, meaning that Willingly was only listed for a week.

 

The second hit true one week wonder for Episode 40 is the last of three hit singles for the Mudlarks. Their first hit, Lollipop had hit #2, and Book Of Love reached #8. This is The Love Game, which charted at #30 on 28th February 1959.

 

The final one for this episode is another of the musicians who sadly perished in the plane crash on 3rd February 1959. Ritchie was just 17 at the time, and had not had a hit single yet in the UK. Donna hit the chart dated 7th March 1959 at #29. The B side, not listed on the chart, was La Bamba, which had been a number two hit in the US.

 

We begin Episode 41 with the Eurovision Song Contest. In 1958 Domenico Modugno had come 3rd in the contest with Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu, better known as Volare, which reached #10 in the UK charts for Domenico, as well as providing a #2 hit for Dean Martin. One year later and Domenico entered the contest again with Piove, which came 6th out of 11 entrants. It was called Ciao Ciao Bambina on the single, and charted at #29 on 28th March 1959.

 

Sticking with the same week and dropping to #30 we find Conway Twitty, with the follow up to It's Only Make Believe, his charttopping debut, this is The Story Of My Love.

 

The last one of Episode 41 charted at #28 on 2nd May 1959, and is Lovin' Up A Storm by Jerry Lee Lewis. Back in December 1957 he had married his first cousin once removed, Myra, who was just 13 years old, and this news emerged during 1958, causing a general decline in Jerry's music career thereafter.

 

Episode 42 begins with an LP. I recounted a while back how singles generally sold in larger numbers than albums in those days, so if an album sold a large enough amount to compare with a top 30 single it sometimes was allowed into the singles chart. I decided a previous LP to do so for one week did not count on this list due to many of the tracks also appearing on charting single, but in the case of this album, Come Dance With Me by Frank Sinatra, there appears to be no overlap between the tracks of the album and any charting single, and so I count it on this list. It charted at #30 on 16th May 1959. Here is the title track, Come Dance With Me, but let me know if you think one of the other tracks was better or more popular and merits a mention instead.

 

Next up is Jane Morgan, whose debut hit, The Day The Rains Came, had become a charttopper earlier in the year. This follow up, If Only I Could Live My Life Again, charted at #27 on 23rd May 1959.

 

Finally for this triple episode we have a second chart hit for Billy Fury, who had previously reached #18 with Maybe Tomorrow. He would go on to have his biggest hits in 1961, Halfway To Paradise (reaching #3) and Jealousy (#2). This is his only time on this list, at #28 on 27th June 1959, and is Margo, Don't Go.

The One Week Wonders - Episode 43

 

We start today with Tommy Edwards, who had a number one in 1958 with It's All In The Game. This is his only other UK chart hit, My Melancholy Baby, which charted at #29 on 8th August 1959.

 

Next up is the only UK chart hit for the Impalas, who charted at #28 on 22nd August 1959 with Sorry (I Ran All The Way Home).

 

Finally we have a song that was later recorded by Elvis Presley, and went on to be a karaoke favourite, The Wonder Of You. This is the first commercially released recording of the song, by Ray Peterson, though another version, by Ronnie Hilton, had actually beaten him into the charts the week before. Ronnie peaked at #22, whilst Ray charted for a week on 5th September 1959 at #23.

I didn't know The Wonder Of You was as old as that. The melody on the verses of Donna by Ritchie Valens is very similar to Lonely This Christmas by Mud.

Let's have another double episode today...

 

The One Week Wonders - Episodes 44 and 45

 

We start with Jack Scott, who has been called 'undeniably the greatest Canadian rock and roll singer of all time'. He charted at #30 on 26th September 1959 with The Way I Walk.

 

Next up is US soul singer Dee Clark, who's actual name was Delectus Clark. He charted at #26 on 3rd October 1959 with Just Keep It Up (And See What Happens), he then had to wait 16 years for his next week of UK chart action, when he had a #16 hit in October 1975 with a disco crossover single called Ride A Wild Horse.

 

The last one for episode 44 is a tale of a boy and his dog (now departed). It's Clinton Ford's version of Old Shep, a song that was also recorded by Elvis, who sang it for his first public performance when he was ten. Clinton's version charted at #27 on 24th October 1959. Fans of Only Fools And Horses will no doubt remember this as one of Del Boy's favourite songs, as it featured in three different episodes, as well as in the prequel, Rock And Chips.

 

On to episode 45, and we move one place down to #28, where we find Joe 'Mr Piano' Henderson. He'd had his biggest hit, the #14 peaking Trudie, the year before, and prior to that had charted two medleys in 1955, Sing It With Joe and Sing It Again With Joe. This is Treble Chance.

 

Next up is Dickey Pride, real name Richard Knellar, who had his only week of UK chart action on 31st October 1959 at #28 with Primrose Lane.

 

Finally we have something a bit different to finish on today. A Croatian vocalist called Ivo Robic singing Morgen, which is German for either 'tomorrow' or 'morning'. There was an English language equivelant, One More Sunrise, that was recorded by a few known artists, but the only recording of that version to chart was by Dickie Valentine, which peaked at #14 and was Dickie's last UK charting single, with the last of it's 8 weeks on chart being the last week of 1959, so that Dickie's chart career ended with the decade. Back to Ivo, his was the original version of the song, and I can only imagine that having a German language recording doing fairly well in the UK in 1959, just 14 years after the end of World War II, may have divided opinion somewhat, so perhaps that's why it only managed the one week. It charted at #23 on 7th November 1959.

 

Just one more episode now before we enter the sixties, and then three more until we start using Record Retailer's top 50 in place of the NME top 30, and thereby plunge further into the depths of pop music obscurity....

Was 'Morgen' the first non English language song to chart in the UK or am I forgetting something obvious (or non-obvious)?

Was 'Morgen' the first non English language song to chart in the UK or am I forgetting something obvious (or non-obvious)?

 

I believe Terero (see episode 35) was the first fully non-English song (I'm excluding Tequilla, which was just the title called occasionally over an instrumental). There was also Volare (aka Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu) and Ciao Ciao Bambina (see episode 41 for those) and Come Prima before Morgen charted. In addition there were also a whole load of songs where just the title and main line of the chorus was in another language. Morgen was the first to be entirely in German though.

Edited December 13, 20195 yr by DanChartFan

Ah yes, that'll be some obvious ones I forgot then!

And another double...

 

The One Week Wonders - Episodes 46 and 47

 

First off we skip over Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars charting at #24 on 7th November 1959 with Mack The Knife, since it was a reissue of his Theme from a Threepenny Opera, which had been a #8 hit in 1956.

 

That means we begin instead with Anne Shelton with The Village Of St Bernadette. She last entered the charts with her charttopper Lay Down Your Arms. The Village Of St Bernadette charted at #27 on 21st November 1959.

 

Next up we have Paul Evans and the Curls, with Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat, which charted at #25 on 28th November 1959. The hit version was by British vocal group the Avons and reached #3. Us vocalist Paul Evans' version was the original one. Here's a nice performance of it at the Little Theatre in New York City in January 1960, complete with puppet little girls, but there's only six of them!

 

Finally for this episode we move down to #30 in the same week, where we have The Best Of Everything by Johnny Mathis.

 

We start episode 47 with the Kingston Trio, who had previously had a #5 hit in the UK, and #1 in the US, called Tom Dooley, which was a #3 hit here for Lonnie Donegan. The sing is called San Miguel, and was also released by Lonnie Donegan, who peaked at #16 with it. The Kingston Trio version charted at #29 on 5th December 1959.

 

We follow that with Baron Frederik von Pallandt, and his then soon to be wife Nina, who debuted in the chart as Nina and Frederik on 19th December 1959 at #26 with Mary's Boy Child, whc had of course been Xmas number one in 1957 for Harry Belafonte, and would go on to be xmas number one again, in disco form, for Boney M in 1978.

 

And that concludes the 1950s! As we head into the sixties I'd like to thank King Of Skiffle for generously providing me with chart data for the decade, so I could sort out a few discrepancies between the various sources I had already consulted.

 

We enter the sixties, and end this episode, with the Crickets and When You Ask About Love, which charted at #27 on 16th January 1960. The song was later covered by Matchbox, who took it to #4 in 1980.

Yet another double episode. I'm going to either make an increased effort to have the time to do this daily as originally settled on, or else perhaps switch to an 'every other day' basis instead. Not sure which yet.

 

The One Week Wonders - Episodes 48 and 49

 

We start this episode on the same week as we ended last time, 16th January 1960, and drop to #29 for the only week in the UK chart for Bill Forbes, whose single was Too Young.

 

Next up stay with the same chart week for a third One Week Wonder, which is only the second time we've done that. The first time was 06/06/1953. This single is by Ricky Nelson and is called I Wanna Be Loved. It charted at #30

 

At this point I'm skipping over the Strictly Elvis EP by Elvis Presley, as one of the four tracks was Paralyzed, which had been a #8 hit in 1957. The EP was released by RCA and charted at 26 on 13th February 1960. The original 1957 hit was released on HMV, but as far as I can tell it was the same recording on both labels' releases.

 

We end this episode on the same week, but at #30 with Toni Fisher's The Big Hurt. It's Toni's only week of UK chart action.

 

Episode 49 marks the point where we change our chart source. The NME chart is used by most chart books, and by the OCC, up to the week dated 4th March 1960 (or sometimes this week is referred to as the 3rd rather than 4th), though Guinness originally stopped with the previous week and left a week's gap in their data. The chart week-ending 10th March 1960 is the first one most sources take from the Record Retailer (now Music Week) who launched a Top 50 that week, the first weekly singles chart of its size in the UK. From 1962 the chart was also printed in rival title Record Mirror, and from 1969 it carried the new Official chart compiled by BMRB and used by BBC Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops. It's because of this later adoption of the Official charts (which Music Week have continued to publish to this day) and the larger size of the early 60s charts. that various chart publications, most notably the first Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles, adopted it as their choice of chart for the sixties, and because of that it was then also adopted by Chart Information Network who then became the Official Chart Company. It is however important to remember that there was no Official chart prior to the BMRB chart launched in February 1969. NME continued on into the sxites with its chart, which lasted until 1988, as did Melody Maker's, both of which were more widely reported in newspapers and record shops than the Record Retailer's chart. There was also a Disc and Music Echo chart, and several shorter lived charts, such as Merseybeat's. The BBC for their part took the charts of several papers (the exact number depending on which chart week you are looking at) and created an averaged chart to use for Pick Of The Pops and Top Of The Pops (rumour has it this chart was compiled by the young daughter of POTP's producer), although they now seem to almost exclusively ignore their old POTP/TOTP charts for the 50s and 60s, in favour of those which the OCC and many chart books deem to have been Official in that era.

 

The effect of this change of chart on this thread is that the One Week Wonders from now on are further down the chart and more obscure. Arguements could also be made that in the first few years of the 60s they could also be more dubious, in terms of the accuracy of the original charts, since there was a smaller sample size despite the large size of the chart, and therefore with each return shop having larger weight it means that hyping, and other localised differences in music taste, could have played a bigger factor in the final chart positions.

 

We start episode 49 then with Don Lang, real name Gordon Langhorn, and Sink The Bismarck, which charted at #43 on the first Record Retailer chart, w/e 10th March 1960. Don had reached #5 in 1958 with Witch Doctor.

 

Staying with the same week we drop to #45 for Ken Mackintosh and No Hiding Place, the theme from the Associated Rediffusion cop series of the same name, which had started in September 1959 and was the sequel to its previous series Murder Bag and Crime Sheet.

 

Finally for episode 49 we stay with the same week for a third One Week Wonder (again), and move down to #46 for Hound Dog Man by Fabian. Hound Dog Man is the theme from the Fabiano Forte movie of the same name, in which Fabian stars as Clint McKinney. The film was based on a 1947 novel by Fred Gipson, who had also written Old Yeller, which was adapted into film by Walt Disney in 1957. Fabian sang several other songs in the movie, but this was to be his only week on the UK chart.

 

Before I finished I wanted to just let you know that I have added a list of all featured One Week Wonders (both the singles, and the act whose week was their entire UK chart career) in my first post on page one, and intended to keep this up to date. I'm also open to suggestion for other lists and stats that could be compiled and maintained there.
