Revisiting the Charts #2: November 22, 1959 (Billboard Hot 100)

Fast forward a few years, this edition of Revisiting the Charts takes a look at the top 10 of one of the last weeks of the 1950s. The Hot 100 chart as we know it was already pretty much established by that time!

1. Mr. Blue — The Fleetwoods Current Spotify stats: 25.267.083 plays

This song is an odd case. It doesn’t have a strong hook, and at first it may seem boring, but then it goes into rather unexpected and pleasant ways. I’m surprised it managed to be a #1 hit, but it’s definitely a grower.

2. Mack the Knife — Bobby Darin Current Spotify stats: 79.694.412 plays

A classic song with a classic and charismatic performance by Mr. Darin. One of the essential recordings of the crooner era.

3. Don’t You Know — Della Reese Current Spotify stats: 495.769 plays

Mrs. Reese had a pleasant voice, and the fussy arrangement also contributes to make this recording neatly presentable, but not particularly memorable.

4. Put Your Head on My Shoulder — Paul Anka Current Spotify stats: 345.483.464 plays

Another classic that has stood the test of time, as evidenced by its strong streaming numbers. I think overplay killed a little of this song’s magic for me, but I can understand its enduring appeal.

5. Heartaches by the Number — Guy Mitchell Current Spotify stats: 17.812.282 plays

Smart songwriting and a catchy tune, coupled with Mr. Mitchell’s soothing vocals, make this song a worthy hit.

6. Lonely Street — Andy Williams Current Spotify stats: 156.573 plays

While Andy Williams was always recognized as a crooner, not a rocker, you can hear some clear echoes of Elvis Presley here. It was a wise move, as the sound fits the song pretty well, and gives it a distinct freshness.

7. Teen Beat — Sandy Nelson Current Spotify stats: 238.870 plays

Technically speaking, this is not a high quality recording. The music isn’t much better: it sounds like somebody trying to find a tune. Perhaps a more skilled musician could’ve transformed this into something, but the results we have sound more like “Teen Noise”.

8. Deck of Cards — Wink Martindale Current Spotify stats: 379.983 plays

This is an unusually long song for the period (almost 4 minutes!). Some religious/"inspirational" songs can be enjoyable, but this recitation is far too boring and preachy to be such a case.

9. So Many Ways — Brooke Benton Current Spotify stats: 400.926 plays

Sweet romantic song, so charming. I bet it was a popular choice at proms.

10. Primrose Lane — Jerry Wallace Current Spotify stats: 566.102 plays

This one almost reaches the point of generic dullness. Proceed with caution.
