List of Billboard number-one singles of 1948

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of number-one songs in the United States during the year 1948 according to Billboard magazine. Prior to the creation of the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard published multiple singles charts each week. In 1948, the following four charts were produced:

  • Best Sellers in Stores – ranked the biggest selling singles in retail stores, as reported by merchants surveyed throughout the country.
  • Most Played by Jockeys – ranked the most played songs on United States radio stations, as reported by radio disc jockeys and radio stations.
  • Most Played in Jukeboxes – ranked the most played songs in jukeboxes across the United States.
  • Honor Roll of Hits – a composite ten-position song chart which combined data from the three charts above along with three other component charts.[1][2] It served as The Billboard's lead chart until the introduction of the Hot 100 in 1958 and would remain in print until 1963.[3]

Note: In the issue dated January 10, May 1, and October 9, The Billboard reported a tie for the number-one single on one of its charts.
