{"product_id":"americas-greatest-hits-1958-americas-greatest-hits-1958-various","title":"Americas Greatest Hits 1958- America's Greatest Hits 1958 \/ Various (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis release is the latest in the series of \"America's Greatest Hits\" which over the years has provided annual collections of the biggest hits of each year in the Billboard pop charts. The collection for 1958 is an excellent value 113-track 4-CD set which includes every record that appeared in any version of the Top 10 of the Billboard chart during the year. It was in August of 1958 that the Top 100, Best Sellers in Stores and Most Played By Disc Jockeys charts were merged to form the Hot 100. This set includes every record that appeared in the Top 10 of any of these charts. Every record that appeared in the Cashbox magazine Top 10 is included in this set. Many of the tracks are, inevitably, well-known hits, which went on to score chart success in the UK, but there are no less than 35 tracks which did not make it into the UK charts despite their major US success, including classic tracks by well-known artists alongside more obscure hits by artists that never made any kind of impression in the UK. The whole collection is a highly entertaining trawl through the American music scene of the times, a rather different musical experience from listening to our British Hit Parades collections from the UK charts, which naturally feature a high proportion of home-grown talent. As ever. It's a fascinating and entertaining pot-pourri of pop, as emerging teen idols jostled with R\u0026amp;B acts, new rock 'n' roll stars joined the established big names, vocal groups and instrumentals of all kinds had a field day, and the inevitable and collectable quotient of one-hit wonders and novelty hits maintained the variety. It's an enlightening snapshot of the pop music scene in the USA at a time when the musical landscape was constantly evolving, and it makes for hugely entertaining listening. It is likely to appeal to the many collectors who enjoy these completest anthologies, and will hopefully provide useful programming for the specialist radio programmes which feature pop nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSam Cooke - You Send Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rays - Silhouettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rays - Daddy Cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePat Boone - April Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Justis - Raunchy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddy Holly - Peggy Sue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanny ; the Juniors - at the Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerry Lee Lewis ; His Pumping Piano - Great Balls of Fire 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmie Rodgers - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRicky Nelson - Stood Up 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Hamilton IV - Why Don't They Understand 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crickets - Oh Boy 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrank Sinatra - Witchcraft 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilhouettes - Get a Job 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly ; Lillie - la Dee Dah 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvis Presley with the Jordanaires - Don't 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvis Presley with the Jordanaires - I Beg of You 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly Vaughn - Sail Along Silvery Moon 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcGuire Sisters - Sugartime 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Diamonds - the Stroll 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal Teens - Short Shorts 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerry Como - Catch a Falling Star 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerry Como - Magic Moments 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrankie Avalon - Dede Dinah 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Anka - You Are My Destiny 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crescendos - Oh Julie 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmie Rodgers - Oh-Oh I'm Falling in Love Again 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Preps - Twenty Six Miles 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChuck Berry - Sweet Little Sixteen 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePat Boone - Wonderful Time Up There 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePat Boone - It's Too Soon to Know 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnie Francis - Who's Sorry Now 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmy McCracklin - the Walk 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Champs - Tequila 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Richard - Good Golly Miss Molly 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChordettes - Lollipop 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Zacherle - Dinner with Drac 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndy Williams - Are You Sincere 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaurie London - He's Got the Whole World in His Hands 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJerry Lee Lewis - Breathless 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKathy Linden - Billy (I Always Dream of Bill) 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRicky Nelson - Believe What You Say 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Platters - Twilight Time 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Monotones - Book of Love 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuey Piano Smith ; the Clowns - Don't You Just Know It 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Seville - Witch Doctor 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvis Presley - Wear My Ring Around Your Neck 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Everly Brothers - All I Have to Do Is Dream 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt ; Dotty Todd - Chanson D'amour (Song of Love) 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerry Como - Kewpie Doll 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Four Lads - There's Only One of You 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon Gibson - Oh Lonesome Me 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDean Martin - Return to Me 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNat King Cole - Looking Back 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChuck Berry - Johnny B.
