Note: Some songs on this list are followed by a (/). The next
song you see listed after this mark, whether within the same entry or in
the separate entry that follows, is its flip side. If another song immediately
follows the (/) in the same entry, that means that the particular record
chart listed both sides of the single together as a unit and the flip side
shares the chart position. (This listing method was not consistent through
the years.)
If you see a (/) and the next song is in a separate entry, it means
that the flip side charted independently within the top twenty on the partcular
chart. For instance, Don't Be Cruel and Hound Dog are flip
sides of the same single, but both were big hits. You'll notice that they
are listed together as one unit at number one on the country and R&B
charts, but they are listed as two separate number one songs on the pop
chart.
