Billboard #1 Hits of 1957

Match the title of the song to the recording’s principal artist. The Additional Hint area displays the date of the The Billboard issue in which the record was reported as #1, the specific chart(s) and the number of weeks the record remained in the #1 spot. (The Hot 100 chart was not created until 1958.) This quiz is based on the Best Sellers in Stores (BSS) and Top 100 (T100) charts as compiled here.

If you want to hear any of the songs after completing the quiz, you can click on or tap the “Listen on YouTube” links found in the Post-Game Explanation, making sure to open the link in a new tab. You can navigate from one single to another using the blue and white arrow keys.
