This page lists the top songs of 1901 in the source charts. The way that the various charts are combined to reach this final list is described on the in the site generation page.
There are almost no charts from before 1920 so this list is heavily determined by very few entries.
Because of the way the site works the year assigned to these songs is liable to have been artificially pushed into the 20th Century. For example "Stars & Stripes Forever" was acutually released in 1897.

Are you sure the titel is "Good Evening, Carrie" and not "Good Morning, Carrie"?

# 3 Tell Me Pretty Maiden
This is the same recording as # 3 in 1902. It featured Byron Harlan, Frank Stanley, Joe Belmont and the Florodora Girls and was issued on Columbia 31604.
We've credited it to "Byron G Harlan, Joe Belmont & the Florodra Girls", thanks for the information.

#1 song must be "Uncle Josh's huskin' bee dance" according to Edison Amberol Cylinder Records catalogue.
You are correct, the mistake has been fixed.
Thank you for the input
