USA: #1 Pop Songs, 1910-1919

USA’s #1 Pop Songs:

1910-1919

These are the #1 pop songs on the United States pop charts from 1910 to 1919. Songs could have hit #1 on either of these charts:

Numbers following the letter codes indicate how many weeks the song spent at #1 on that chart. Links go to specific lists of the biggest songs of all time for that chart. The Gardner charts are monthly and not weekly so the #of weeks has been generated by multiplying the song’s number of months at #1 by 4. Also, the Gardner book indicates only the song title and not a specific artist so the artists identified here are the ones that have the highest ranked Dave’s Music Database version, hit #1 on the Billboard chart as well, and/or are spotlighted as the top version by Gardner.

Meanwhile the Sharon Mawer charts are bi-weekly so to reflect a more accurate depiction of how many weeks the song spent at #1, the original # was doubled.
