Top 40 singles: Battle Of New Orleans - Johnny Horton (#1)
Greatest Hits: 1. Mack The Knife - Bobby Darin

1959 belonged to the Teen Idols. The number one hit of the year was Bobby Darin's Mack the Knife. Ironically, Darin resisted releasing the 1928 Three Penny Opera song as a single. Also in the Top Ten that year was Frankie Avalon's Venus. Paul Anka scored with Lonely Boy and Put Your Head on My Shoulder.

Fabian had hits with Turn Me Loose and Tiger.

Annette Funicello made the charts with Tall Paul. In 1960 Annette's real life boyfriend, Paul Anka, would write Puppy Love about their relationship

Now that's depressing

Just for the hell of it I put in August 16th, 1977, the day Elvis died...

Best Of My Love - The Emotions

OK yeah........I'm bored........

Yes, but when I was born, a month after his death, Way Down by Elvis Presley became No 1 in the UK. And Best of My Love was still No 1 in the US. Go figure.
