USA: #1 Pop Songs, 1940-1949

USA’s #1 Pop Songs:

1940-1949

These are the #1 pop songs on the United States pop charts from 1940 to 1949. Songs could have hit #1 on any of the following charts:

The date indicates the song’s first appearance at #1, regardless of which chart it was. The act associated with the song is then listed. The Gardner book does not indicate specific artists, so the artists identified here are those which also hit #1 on another chart, are the highest-ranked version according to Dave’s Music Database, or are spotlighted as the top version by Gardner.

Then come the letter codes indicating which charts the song topped. The number following that is the number of weeks at #1. The Gardner charts are monthly and not weekly so the #of weeks has been adjusted by multiplying the song’s number of months at #1 by 4.
