These are all the top 40 singles for 1958.
*Note: Based on the Nolan Method, these are the year-end songs that represented the Top 40 songs during the calendar year 1958. The Nolan Method ranking system was formulated by lead Top40Weekly contributor Jarrett Nolan and is based on a point system for an artist’s chart performance on Billboard charts.
US Top 40 Singles For The Week Ending: 4th January, 1958
Issue Date: 13th January, 1958
EDITOR’S NOTE: On occasion you will see two songs placed at the same entry number. These were common in this era of the Billboard charting system, as songs that have tied for that position. This will become one of Billboard’s fixes by 1960, using a more accurate charting system to assist the ranking system.

US Hot 40 Singles For The Week Ending 17th August, 1958
Issue Date: 11th August, 1958
EDITOR’S NOTE: On occasion you will see two songs placed at the same entry number, as seen below at #9. These were common in this era of the Billboard charting system as songs that have tied for that position. This will become one of Billboard’s fixes by 1960, using a more accurate charting system to assist the ranking system.
