The only definitive fact I know about it is that "Love Is Mine" by Enrico Caruso was the #1 song in the country on June 30, 1912 (the day my dad was born).
I have this, or a version of this. It is a single sided Gramophone Co. "His Master's Voice" pink label 78. # 4-2205. I would date it as earlier than 1911 but could be wrong.
"God is Love." -- John 4:16: When I was a child I had several 78rpm records, and a performance of this aria(?) was among them. Now, after all these years, I hear it again. A sublime experience. God provides.

There wasn't any such concept as Top Twenty back then, but, if it was a top seller, that's not too surprising. 8)

Google "history of number one songs", enter June 30, and look at 1912. I'd put the URL in directly, but youtube doesn't seem to want to accept it.
