 * This list is not an actual survey. I have no Canadian singles charts in my
possession prior to 1957.So for the years 1954-56 US charts are primarily
substituted for Canadian singles charts to assist in my compilation of the
Top 5000 of all-time. This year-end list here is primarily compiled
from US charts with some references made to songs from that year
from the "CHUM CHART BOOK" by "Ron Hall".
