My picks (Extremely difficult in many cases):

6 1950 “Music, Music, Music” Teresa Brewer
2 1950 “Mona Lisa” Nat King Cole
1 1951 “Too Young” Nat King Cole
2 1952 “Wheel of Fortune” Kay Starr
1 1952 “Blue Tango” Leroy Anderson
2 1954 “Wanted” Perry Como
1 1953 “The Song from Moulin Rouge” Percy Faith
6 1954 “Oh! My Pa-Pa” Eddie Fisher (mostly DEDICATED TO MY DAD)
7 1955 “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing” The Four Aces
2 1956 “Don’t Be Cruel” Elvis Presley (mostly just trying to help the King)
1 1956 “Heartbreak Hotel” Elvis Presley (again, really trying to help the King - I prefer Don’t be Cruel to this, but this race is closer!)
2 1957 “Love Letters in the Sand” Pat Boone
3 1957 “Little Darlin’” The Diamonds
2 1958 “All I Have to Do Is Dream” / “Claudette” The Everly Brothers (generally Claudette drags it down, but I’ll still pick it over Witch Doctor. B side not bad and fascinating it’s from Roy Orbison about his wife)
6 1959 “Dream Lover” Bobby Darin
3 1959 “Personality” Lloyd Price (I can’t vote for that lyric!)
