Here's a comparison and contrast to the positions of these UK #1's (all drawn from NME, which the OCC had declared to be "official" for 1952-60) as on the U.S. Billboard charts (as usual, if it failed to chart in the States, it ain't listed here):
- "It's Only Make Believe" - #1 (for 2 non-consecutive weeks - November 10 & 24, 1958)
- "The Day The Rains Came" - #21
- "One Night" - #4 / "I Got Stung" - #8
- "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" - #1 (for 3 weeks - January 19, 26-February 2, 1959)
- "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" - #13
- "A Fool Such As I" - #2 / "I Need Your Love Tonight" - #4
- "Dream Lover" - #4
- "Living Doll" - #30
- "Only Sixteen" (#28 for Sam Cooke, #6 in 1976 for Dr. Hook)
- "Here Comes Summer" - #14
- "Mack The Knife" - #1 (for 9 non-consecutive weeks - October 5-November 9 and November 23-December 7, 1959)

And conversely, the UK chart positions for the other Billboard Hot 100 #1's apart from the three already mentioned (again, the same principle applies here):
- "Stagger Lee" by Lloyd Price - #7
- "Venus" by Frankie Avalon - #16
- "The Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton - #16 (#2 for Lonnie Donegan And His Skiffle Group)
- "Lonely Boy" by Paul Anka - #3
- "The Three Bells (Les Trois Cloches)" by The Browns - #6
- "Sleep Walk" by Santo And Johnny - #22
- "Heartaches By The Number" by Guy Mitchell - #5
- "Why" by Frankie Avalon - #20 (#1 in 1960 for Anthony Newley)

In this year, there are no "other" #1's for this year - but quite a few which were either NME- (and therefore, Official-) only, and a few missed topping either the Record Mirror, Melody Maker or Disc charts:
- "The Day The Rains Came" (Melody Maker and Disc - #2 / Record Mirror - #4)
- "As I Love You" (Record Mirror - #2)
- "Here Comes Summer" (Record Mirror and Melody Maker - #2)
- "Mack The Knife" (Record Mirror, Melody Maker and Disc - #2)

This, incidentally, would be the last full year where NME was counted as "official" by the Official Charts Company. Once Record Retailer started its Top 50 chart in the next year, that was all they wrote . . .
