Other Years: 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957

The standard page for 1950 lists the biggest hit songs across the whole World. This page compares that with the top 20 biggest hits of the year in North America and Europe. The region index explains how these results were generated and the long term trends.

There are few European charts available from before 1955, so the data on this page is dominated by the North American charts.
