NOTE: On the original chart, Cash Box listed the artist and label for every version in current release under each title, with a star next to the artist(s) who had the best-selling version(s). Those designated artists are listed above. In addition, Cash Box included the secondary category “other versions strongly reported,” designated by an asterisk. Artists in this category are shown above in smaller italic type. Figures in the “Weeks on Chart” (WKS) column indicate only the weeks an artist was listed as having a best-selling version.
