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 hit version(s). Just those designated artists are listed above. Additional artists listed below a title in brackets also had hit versions on the concurrent Billboard Best Sellers chart.

SPECIAL NOTE: Position #38 was omitted from the original chart for this week. The title listed above in that position is an estimate, based on its positions on the previous and following weeks’ charts.
