This list is comprised of songs released on United Artists Records and its subsidiary labels Unart, Ascot and Veep, in addition to Musicor Records (through early 1965, when UA and Musicor parted ways). Rankings are based on the popularity of each song during the period of 1958 through 1969.
Musicor artist Gene Pitney leads all others with 13 entries on the list, followed by several UA acts: Bobby Goldsboro appears eleven times, while Jay and the Americans have nine songs, George Jones has eight and Del Reeves has six. Ferrante and Teicher and Marv Johnson are each on the list five times; Garnet Mimms has four entries (three of which feature his backing group The Enchanters). The Highwaymen, Manfred Mann and The Spencer Davis Group have three entries apiece. Country singer Bobby Lewis should not be confused with the R&B singer of the same name.
The record label, a division of the United Artists film studio, was founded in 1957 for the purpose of releasing soundtrack music. Instrumentals are well-represented with 12 recordings, nine of which are from films or television; in addition, there are three vocal film themes. The company's peak came in the mid-1960s; 14 songs on the list are from 1965 and there are 13 each from 1963 and 1964.
