    My parents bought a 58 CADILLAC in 1960. I was born in July of 59. I grew up with this car. My mom signed it over to me in 1980. I still have it, still drive it too! Lifelong southern California car. Cool to hear the music from when it was new. It was 1st sold January 6 ,1958.thanks for making this!

      My thinking exactly. Volare was so overrated and not a #1 song even though it had that run in the charts due to the Italian wave and people loving the big Italian songs that were new at the time. Valens had La Bamba and Come On Let's Go in 1958, and Big Bopper had Chantilly Lace, Buddy Holly had Peggy Sue, Everyday amongst others

    Nothing places you in time like the songs from that period. You remember what you were doing at the time. Some of these I haven’t heard since they were released. I saw the Everly Brothers on their reunion tour, and Roy Orbison shortly before he passed. Recently saw the Beach Boys with Mike Love, it was fantastic, and very emotional. I was just happy that he’s still with us and performing. You go to bed one night and when you wake up you’re 70 years old.

    To me, 1958 was a "rainbow year" for an 11 yr.old going on 12. However, this List reflects only 40% of the songs I liked then: no Connie Francis, no Johnny B. Goode, no Donna (La Bamba), no 16 Candles or other great Doo-Wop groups besides the Elegants. This is probably a Billboard List and they CANNOT predict which future songs will stay remembered.

    I have been enjoying recently your survey all the top songs from 1955 through 59 and 1967 thus far. The billboard tabulation of the top 50 songs in retail sales and chart position shown on Wikipedia show a similar correspondence to your truck positions for the top 30 except for some few exceptions. The 23rd song of Poor Little Fool by Ricky Nelson is shown as number 24. Number 23 is shown as Rockin Robin by Bobby Day which shoe show is number 27 are posted survey shows number 25 as just a dream which the Wikipedia chart shows a wonderful time up there slash it's too soon to know by Pat Boone. The McGuire Sisters sugartime has shown his number 27 but you show as number 26. Some commenters may want to know why Peggy Sue bye Buddy Holly is not listening to 30 top but the Wikipedia chart shows it as number 50 tied with Don Gibson oh Lonesome me. I had questions about some songs not in your 30 such as Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis, Lollipop by The Chordettes Splish Splash by Bobby Darin and Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy. The chart for billboard show that Great Balls of Fire is number 36, lollipop was number 37 and Splish Splash with number 38 as well as another popular one for that Year Connie Francis has who's sorry now iasnumber 39. Duane Eddy$s Rebel Rouser was number 46. Elvis Presley had a number 49 rating for hard-headed woman / don't ask me why.

Polkas to Pop, Country to Bluegrass, Rockabilly to Instrumentals, Hawaiian to Ethnic, Ballads to R 'n Roll, Waltzes to Romantic, Classic to Country Swing, Big Band to Malt Shop, etc. I lived thru the best music period in history.

      Not to mention that "vocalists" no longer need to sing on pitch, thanks to AutoTune. And so often when they do "sing," they just shriek and yell stuff like "ooow-WOOO! Aya, aya, aya, ooow-WOOO!" Dion and the Belmonts used some culturally-associated nonsense words (e.g., "bum-da-hey-da-hey-da-hey")... but they SANG it, in beautiful harmony. That was music.
