Here are the last of the Billboard Top Ten best selling records for the week of January 25, 1941.

#3 is “I Hear a Rhapsody,” by Jimmy Dorsey, with Bob Eberly on vocals. I couldn’t find a recording of that to link to. The good news is did find a link to -

#2 – “I hear a Rhapsody.” This version is by Charlie Barnet and Bob Carroll. It is not unusual to see different versions of the same song on the best seller lists in that era. Finally,

#1 – The Artie Shaw blockbuster “Frenesi.” This was one of the biggest songs of 1940 and still has legs in the new year. It has been #1 every week so far in January and will remain at the top spot into March.
