I chose the recording act that had the most successful version of the song. In Elston Brooks book the charts he post after April 13,1935 are identical to those posted on the "Your Hit Parade" charts."Your Hit Parade" weekly charts from April 20,1935 to the end of 1959 can be found elsewhere on this website.
