Year-End Poll #9: 1958

More information about this blog here

Now that we're reaching the end of the decade, we're seeing the culmination of the rising trends coming together in the charts. Traditional pop, early rock and roll, Latin pop, and the novelty song. Even going beyond the genres themselves, 1958 also marks a shift regarding the business side of the music industry. In August of this year, the Billboard Hot 100 was officially implemented, but we won't see the effects of that until next year. The 1950s serves as a fascinating transitional period in music culture.

And just to make things more complicated, some versions of the 1958 year-end chart feature both the A-sides and B-sides of some of the songs. I wondered if it had something to do with the introduction of the Hot 100, or perhaps because the B-sides charted equally or higher on different charts. But I have nothing to base that hypothesis off of and my own research hasn't helped me find anything. I reached out on the Billboard subreddit for help and a user named jdeeth was kind enough to give me a more thorough explanation. To make a long story short: in addition to the implementation of the Hot 100, 1958 was also the year Billboard started listing two-sided hits as a single entry, but this practice didn't catch on. However, there are future entries where two-sided hits are listed simultaneously again, but under different circumstances so I'll cross that bridge when it comes up.

Jim Seals - One Half of Seals & Crofts - Dies at 80

Jim Seals, half of the folk duo Seals & Crofts, has died.

Seals was 80. His death was announced by the Baha’i Faith, which didn’t give a cause.

“With great sadness and a heavy heart we announce the ascension of Jimmy Seals of Seals & Crofts into the Abha Kingdom,” it said. “May his soul through the Grace of God soar in peace through the infinite Heavenly, Worlds of the Almighty.”

Both Seals and his partner Dash Crofts were adherents of the faith. They formed their titular duo after a stint with the Champs, who had a hit with “Tequila.”

Seals & Crofts were best known for a string of 1970s hits that included “Summer Breeze,” “Diamond Girl,” “Hummingbird,” “When I Meet Them,” “Get Closer” and others. The duo split in 1980.

“Anybody who is an excellent musician and player, I admire,” Crofts said of Seals earlier this year.
