What was the number one song in the UK on 15th June 1956?

By Hayley Beasley Dye

American singer and actor, Pat Boone was at number one for 5 weeks with I’ll Be Home.

I’m assuming in the song, Pat is a soldier serving abroad, so this makes the song somewhat poignant. However, to be honest with you, it’s a slightly tedious song that somehow became the bestselling song of 1956.
