VIEWING THE LIST OF TOP SINGLES, ONE MIGHT WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO FEW SONGS LISTED AS #1. SOURCES VARY, BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING, DORIS HAD ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 12 #1 SONGS BUT MANY IN THE TOP 10.  NOT SO WITH ALBUMS, WHICH IS ANOTHER STORY. THERE WAS A REASON WHY DORIS WAS THE TOP FEMALE ALBUM SELLER OF THE 1950'S.  (Check our Album Page)
