What was the number one song in the UK on 19th June 1959?

By Hayley Beasley Dye

Russ is back with Roulette, which was number one for 2 weeks.

AAARRRGGGHHH, it’s another one of those honky-tonk piano instrumentals, guys. I’m starting to think they were created just to troll me. It’s a firm no from me. I’m sincerely hoping the 60s will have none of this honky-tonk dross, thank you. Did people really sit there in the 50s, willingly and joyfully listening to this? The mind boggles.
