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.
