Mario Lanza - Drink Drink Drink
I don't see this song being listed, can I know why.
Certainly.
The song "Drink Drink Drink" by Mario Lanza reached number 21 in Billboard (Oct 1954 - 4 weeks) and number 29 in the CashBox charts (Oct 1954 - 3 weeks)
However we only list the top 100 songs of each year, the last song in this list ("Jilted" by Teresa Brewer in the 1.9.073 data) was number 6 in Billboard, number 11 in the Cashbox charts and number 14 in the "US 1940s" chart. Clearly a bigger hit.
Unfortunatley Mario Lanza had his hits at a time when charts are not available for many countries. So the scores for his songs are not high. His biggest hit ("Be My Love" in 1951) was a number 1 in the US and a success around the world. However the total score from his 16 hits only ranks him as the 1121st artist of all time (too far down to get his own dedicated page).
So that song is not listed because a) by our calculation it is the 234th biggest hit of 1954 and we only list the top 100 b) Mario Lanza is not in the 1000 biggest acts of all time so it doesn't show up on a page dedicated to him
