from what i understand it was the 2nd #1 hit.....the first was "I'll Never Smile Again" by Frank Sinatra w/Tommy Dorsey

[PublicRadioWorldWide]

This recording was the 7th no. 1 hit of 1940 (in time order). It hit no.1 in the 3rd week of Oct 1940 and stayed no. 1 for 9 weeks. Beginning the 4th week of July 1940, Frank Sinatra w/Tommy Dorsey carried ''Never Smile Again'' for 9 weeks. In the 1st week of Feb 1940 Glenn Miller hit no. 1 with ''In The Mood'' for 12 weeks knocking himself out in May with ''Tuxedo Junction'' which kept Glenn Miller in the no. 1 position for 9 more weeks. Shep Fields 1 week only the 2nd week of Jan 1940.

Acutally I have a feeling it was

1. In The Mood - Glenn Miller

2. When You Wish Upon a Star - Cliff Edwards

3. I'll Never Smile Again - Tommy Dorsey w/Frank Sinatra

4. Only Forever - Bing Crosby

But it obviously would have changed a lot, I just have an inkling :)

@TonyT074 Well, it was the second #1 after Billboard began its charts. Before then no one source had an official chart of the week's top hits, although for his book "Pop Memories" Joel Whitburn has extended the charts back to 1890 using information from numerous sources.

A 1940 classic. Treasured.

@TonyT074 actually NEITHER THIS SONG or the one that you mentioned was the very first #1 hit song ever. In fact, there was a SIMULTANEOUS DEBUT between two songs to be the ''VERY FIRST'' #1 hit song ever and they were ''In the Mood'' by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra and the other, ''South of the Border'' by Shep Fields & His Rippling Rhythm.
