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.
