Songs from the Year 1935 |

| Other Years: | 1900s | 1910s | 1920s | 1930s | 1931 | 1932 | 1933 | 1934 | 1935 | 1936 | 1937 | 1938 | 1939 | 1940s | 1950s | 1960s | 1970s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s | 2010s |
This page lists the top songs of 1935 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.
Between 1920 and 1940 there are few available charts (at least that we can find). These results should be treated with some caution since, with few exceptions, they are based on fairly subjective charts and biased towards the USA.
During this era music was dominated by a number of "Big Bands" and songs could be attributed to the band leader, the band name, the lead singer or a combination of the them. It is common, for example, to see the same song listed with three different artists. And, just to stop us from getting bored, the success of a song was tied to the sales of sheet music, so a popular song would often be perfomed by many different combinations of singers and bands and the contemporary charts would list the song, without clarifying whose version was the major hit. Where we have found such issues we have attempted to consolidate the entries using the most widely accepted value for the artist in each case.
The top ten song artists of 1935 were: | ||||

Are 1935 songs free to make a record without payment?
You can find quite a few of them on the internet (of course we don't supply them).
Have a look at archive.org for example

An Overlooked Source for 1900-1949
Added to your sources should be the reference book: "Popular Songs of the Twentieth Century" by Edward Foote Gardner. +It contains actual monthly and semi-monthly charts for the entire period 1900-1949. +Unlike Whitburn, it takes into account sheet music sales and vaudeville performances (early on). +There is no way on earth to know exactly what chart positions various recordings would have had. +Thus, according to historian Tim Brooks on Whitburn: "This is a "dangerous book." +Gardner, on the other hand, focused on songs, not the recordings, because there were a lot more data available for songs than there were for recordings, as you will see in his preface and bibliography. +That brings Gardner's work closer to the truth than any other reference in existence. +You quote Whitburn as being "Billboard" but Billboard had no charts until July 1940.
Edward Foote Gardner Author "Popular Songs of the Twentieth Century, Vol. 1", Paragon House, 2000
Unfortunately we can't use data in a book, we have to have some kind of digital source. If, for example, they make a listing available as a database or spreadsheet we could use that.

Arthur Fiedler & Boston Pops Orch-Jalousie
This recording should be in this Top 100 list. It made the US Billboard charts- #13 - 3 weeks. It was also selected for the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008. It is listed there under 'G' for 'Gade - Jalousie' which is probably why you don't have it listed.
It seems to have been missing, we've added it (but assigned it to "Boston Pops Orchestra" that should sort out the issue.

#92 - Isle Of Capri
Per Joel Whitburn this should be Lew Stone & Orch (rather than Lew Holtz). Vocalist here was Al Bowlly.
You are correct, data fixed, thanks

Popular Songs of 1935
Matilde Albano was born in 1935. Here is the music played in the year of her birth.

Song 47
If songs of this era charted in part due to sheet music sales, and seeing howHappy Birthday To You was copyrighted in 1935 by Summy Co, then the song probably placed as a sheet music entry and not a popular recording. Just thought I'd share my musings.
That is true, quite a few charts don't list a performer so we've had to try and work out whose version was most popular
15 Aug 2014
Carlos Gardel
El Dia Que Me Quieras (#26) was elected to Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013.
We don't have any of the 2013 entries yet. We'll add them, thanks for the suggestion

I want to Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart seems to be listed twice ( #17 and #49 ).
You are correct the data has been fixed thanks for the suggestion

+Ozzie Nelson song
I recall an old 78 song called "quicker than you can say jack Robinson"but can find only a vague reference to an Ozzie nelson song in 1935. Where can I hear this tune again?

...old wedding ring
Not a lot of help, but "When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New" was a chart record in 1960 as part of a 6-song medley called "Sing With Bruce Hayes", performed by Mr, Hayes, Mary Mayo, and the Jerry Graff Singers. It peaked at No. 63 in the US publication "Music Vendor", during a 9 week chart run.

Most popular song on 5th Aug.1935
I'm looking to arrange a brass quartet of the most popular song on 5th August 1935 (my friend's birthday)in both the U.S. and U.K. 'charts'. Can you oblige? Thankyou.
Before 1940 the charts are so sparse that selecting a specific date is rather difficult. Picking some entries from this page would be the easiest way to go (most entries have months and durations)
23 Apr 2012
first recording
Who was the artist who made the first recording of When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New.
We don't know who did it first but the only person to have a hit with it anywhere was Jimmy Roselli in 1983 (51 in the UK)

#1 song in 1935
What was the #1 song on Dec. 12, 1935?
Before 1940 there were no "Number One" songs

1 Cheek to Cheek
Fred and Ginger did this song together in the movie, but the commercial recording which was a # 1 Billboard Hit is a solo by Fred.
You are correct, most of the charts listed are of the record, which was just Fred. We've decided to change even the Oscar nomination to just Fred (which we realise is technically incorrect) so that all the entries stay together.
Thanks for the correction.

Cheek to Cheek
Thanks again for this great musical reference guide!
Is it possible that the number one song Cheek to Cheek is the same one listedas a grammy nomination version at number 43?
We think you are correct, however we had already fixed the data before we got your message. Thanks for the input

We think the full title is actually "When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New". If you search on iTunes or Amazon under that name you will find many examples of the song you can buy.

August 18th 1935 number one songs
I am also looking for the number one songs for every year (75th birthday bash planned) on August 18th, staring 1935 to present.
As we have said many times, number 1 where? According to who?
If you are talking about the US, from 1940 to last year the best place to look would be:

number 1 hit
I need to find out the number 1 hit for the birthday of my husband which is November 5, 1935
First I am going to assume that you mean the number 1 record in the USA, other countries will be different of course.
Before 1939 there really was no regular charts anywhere, the closest were some occasional charts in the "Billboard" magazine. Our listing of Billboard hits assigns each song a peak position and year but, for 1935 at least, does not tell us which months the song was a hit.
However you may be in luck, the biggest US hit of 1935 was number 1 for 11 weeks and given that "Top Hat", the film it came from, was released during September it is most likely that it was the number 1 for the first week of November.
So we don't know for sure but we suspect that the answer is "Cheek to Cheek" by Fred Astair.
