Click on the appropriate button above to view an historical acccount of the record labels for the year, a chart ranking the popularity of the labels in the Billboard top twenty for the year, or a list of the labels that had records in the top twenty for the year.
Jimmie Rodgers had four songs in the top twenty for Roulette in 1958, "Secretly" and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" both achieving a #3 ranking.
The Champs' "Tequila" gave Challenge records a #1 record. The label was owned by Gene Autry and the group took Aurty's horse's name.
Ralph Bagdasarian gave Liberty records two #1's in 1958 with his gimmick of speeding up a record -- it produced the voices of The Chipmunks and the "Witch Doctor" which was credited to his stage name, David Seville.
Capitol had two top ten hits from The Four Preps -- "26 Miles" and "Big Man."
It was the debut year for Dion & The Belmonts on Laurie records and while their debut classic, "I Wonder Why" failed to crack the top twenty, better times were right ahead.
Since Buddy Holly was under contract to Decca, his 1957 hit for Brunswick records was released under the name of his band, The Crickets. In a negotiated agreement with Decca, his 1958 hit, "Peggy Sue" was released by a Decca subsidiary, Coral, and was credited to Buddy Holly.
Power records was too small of a company to handle the success of "Short Shorts" so the record was distributed nationally by ABC-Paramount. Bob Gaudio played piano for the group and would go on to greater success with The Four Seasons.
