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. |
