Perry Como 1958 Kewpie Doll
I noticed that the 1958 page (Version 1.8.0052) does NOT include Perry Como's Kewpie Doll. I believe this song entered the US chart on 4/26/1958 and peaked at #12 on May 24, and spent a total of 12 weeks on the Billboard chart altogether.
Thanks for this wonderful reference work!
The song is not listed on the 1958 page as, by our assessment method, it is only the 109th most successful song of that year (we only list the top 100 of each year). Of course the small number of charts for 1958 means that the difference between song #100 of the year and song #109 is fairly arbitrary, however this Perry Como song didn't quite make the cut.
If you look at Perry Como's page you will see that "Kewpie Doll" is listed there (as #28 in the 1.8.0052 data). As the entry there shows our information mostly agrees with yours, the song entered the Billboard charts in Apr 1958 and peaked at #12, however our listing says it spent 16 weeks in the top 100 rather than the 12 you have. According to our data it spent 12 weeks in the top 50. That listing also shows that the song peaked at #9 in the UK, #11 in Canada and is RYM's #192 of 1958.
It is always nice to be appreciated, thank you for your words of encouragement.
