2Elvis Presley

A: Jailhouse Rock
B: Treat Me Nice


24 January, 3 weeks.

The first single to enter the charts at #1. Al Martino's Here In My Heart was #1 in its first week on chart in 1952, but as that was the first chart, Elvis has a more legitimate claim to being the 'true' first. Also the best-selling single of 1958.
