This page lists the album chart runs of Buddy Holly. A list of songs by Buddy Holly can be found here. The albums are listed with the most widely successful first. Many of Buddy Holly's early hits were with The Crickets, as such they were often credited to different combinations of names in different markets. We have tried to assign songs to either "Buddy Holly" or "The Crickets" to match the usage at the time. It is, of course, impossible to do this in a way that is both globally consistent and keeps all the assignments for all markets. If you think that some of the songs should be credited differently tell us why and we will consider changing them.
Previous Comments (newest first) 4 Mar 2018 Double Listing - 20 Golden Greats #1 & #9 are the same. Data fixed, thanks 12 Sep 2016 Double Listing - 20 Golden Greats #1 & #19 are the same. Data fixed, thanks 23 Jul 2015 Double Listing - Buddy Holly I'm pretty sure #5 & #15 are the same (per Acclaimed Music and the timeframe). The album should be titled "Buddy Holly". I can find no record of an album titled "Buddy Holly No 1". The album should be "Buddy Holly" as you suggest, there was a record called "Buddy Holly No 1" (Brunswick - OE 9456) but that is an EP issued in the UK Data fixed, thanks 4 May 2015 (3) Listings - 20 Golden Greats Would #2 (20 Golden Greats) & #9 (20 Greatest Hits) & #20 be the same? They all hit the charts within (1) month of each other and reference (20) greatest hits. That looks reasonable, we have also assumed that "Seine 20 groossten Hits" and "Seine 20 grossten Hits" (both in the same year) are also the same album Thanks 7 Jun 2012 That'll Be The Day Songs by Buddy Holly and the Crickets were on either the Coral or Brunswick label. Coral releases were by Buddy Holly, while Brunswick releases were by The Crickets. Up until late '58, when Buddy Holly went to New York to persue a solo career, any songs released by either label was by Buddy Holly and The Crickets One of the oddities about the recording industry, Decca, the parent company of both Coral and Brunswick, had rejected Buddy Holly. That is an interesting short review of the situation in the US, of course the situation was different in the UK and Australia. He toured the UK in 1958 and had more success here than he had at at the time at home. |
