1952-54 Open	188	188	188	2	Yes	3	1	0	1	40+	Show/hide notes Missing only the 'Man / Woman' double A-side by Rosemary Clooney & Jose Ferrer. Note that as a result of there being only one double A-side between 1952 and 1954 and there being only one re-entry, by Winifred Atwell in 1954, the maximum playlist total (given the inclusion of the aforementioned AA-side) is the same as the total number of chart entries.

1956 Open	184	199	199	1	Yes	2	7	7	2	40+	Show/hide notes Missing only 'Tiger Tango', the B-side of 'The Happy Whistler' by The Cyril Stapleton Orchestra.
