 Cornell's biggest UK hit by some distance, spending a total of five weeks at #1 and thirteen weeks in the top five.

 @mister_tmg: I think you are right and have adjusted the track order accordingly.

Billboard doesn't even mention the B side, but repeatedly talks about "Hold Your Hand", which was recorded to be included in the movie "Susan Slept Here" and to be sold simultaneously as a record.

Billboard Jan 30, 1954, p. 26:
Switch Pulled On Disk Plug
New York, Jan. 23 – Something unusual in the way of record plugs has been set for an upcoming Don Cornell slicing, when his Coral-waxing of "hold My Hand" will be seen spinning (in Technicolor yet) and heard in a sequence of the RKO film "Susan Slept Here". The actual tape made at the recording session will be used on the soundtrack.

Billboard Sep. 18, 1954, p. 12:
Title Tunes Cut For Picture and Disks
An even more direct tie-up was made for Don Cornell's new Coral disc "Hold My Hand." The record – label and all – is featured all thru the new Dick Powell-Debbie Reynolds picture "Susan Slept Here," and it was recorded especially for that purpose. The film has been doing well at the box office, and Cornell's record sells big in every town it plays.

 Hmmm, "Hold My Hand" as the b-side just because it has a lower matrix number? I would have thought "HMH" was intended as the 'a'-side.

 "Hold My Hand" reached Number 1 in the NME charts, 3 Sep 1954. It was also awarded a Gold Disc.
