Kyu Sakamoto • “Sukiyaki” • June 1963The Japanese title was Ue o muite arukō, or “I look up when I walk.” A Taste of Honey took it to No. 3 in 1981.

This is just a preview! Mr. Acker Bilk • “Stranger on the Shore” • May 1962 A clarinet instrumental that is certainly one of the least-remembered Number Ones of all time.

It’s funny how tightly bunched they can be—there were only two between 1994 and 2006, then three in 2006 alone. 1 in 2012. Larry Verne • “Mr.

1 hit for any British band, although many more would follow. Crazy Town • “Butterfly” • March 2001This was the third single off Crazy Town’s album The Gift of Game; it’s a wonder the label let them get that far, since the first two did nothing at all.

The Hollywood Argyles • “Alley-Oop” • July 1960The chief Argyle, Gary Paxton, was also the leader of Bobby “Boris” Pickett’s Crypt-Kicker Six. 1 in the U.K., making Z&E the only act to be pure one-hit wonders both here and in Great Britain.

Alan O’Day • “Undercover Angel” • July 1977Warner Bros. created a special label, Pacific, for records by their staff composers who also performed. This was the first one. There was actually an album that came out in 2001 called Green Tambourine: The Best of the Lemon Pipers.

It’s been all downhill from there. Hugh Masekela • “Grazing in the Grass” • July 1968Masekela lost the best pop instrumental Grammy to Mason Williams’ “Classical Gas,” which would be on this list if not for the fact that it peaked at No.
