BREAKOUT / TERRITORIAL HITS 1955-1969

 

In the 13th edition of Top Pop Hits (1955-2010) Joel Whitburn introduced new, never-before-seen research of the songs and artists that hit only on Billboard's influential Territorial and Breakout charts. 

Billboard  published the Territorial Top 10 Best Selling  charts, which were separate rankings of the Top 10 hits from 23 major cities, weekly from January 1, 1955 through October 13, 1958.
Billboard  introduced its Breakout Singles chart on January 9, 1961. The chart listed new records, not yet on Hot 100, but have been reported getting strong sales action by dealers in 34 major markets.

Both charts have been researched for hits which made these charts but did not make any of the other charts researched already, i.e. all Billboard, Cash Box, Music Vendor (Record World), Gavin Report. Hits that entered other charts as flips are also excluded. In other words, only singles that have not yet been researched (posted) are included.

Breakout
390 singles, 780 tracks (26 files)
around forty singles from the original 45's (from my record collection)
8 tracks missing, 1967-69 only, 
denoted on the sheet  Breakout Hits tracks
