Time and time again we’re asked who was the most important female vocalist in the history of American Popular Song. With the bulk of its airplay and popularity during 1951, we have to call Tennessee Waltz the most important song of the year.Īnd so Patti Page has five songs on this list, and would probably have more if it was strictly by sales. It spent a couple weeks at the top position in 1950, but competed with Christmas music at that time. Fact is it spent 8 weeks at number one in 1951, and received its greatest airplay during ’51. The listing of Tennessee Waltz is bound to creat some confusion on this chart, as most sources list it as a 1950 song. You may notice that the list above doesn’t quite agree with “Top 40” or other lists you’ve seen that’s because it takes more facts into consideration, along with a few intangibles.
