NOTE: On the original chart, Cash Box listed the artist and label for every version in current release under each title, with no indication of which version(s) were the biggest sellers. Artists listed above had the biggest hit version(s) of each song, determined primarily by the rankings on the concurrent Billboard Best Sellers chart. *In the following week’s issue, Cash Box changed its issue date to the Monday at the beginning of the publication week and updated its chart week to the week leading up to the publication date, rather than the week earlier. As a result, this week’s chart was never published; the positions above were reconstructed from the sales figures for this week that were shown on the following weeks’ charts.
