1953 Hits Archive

Mom and I finished listening to the 1953 Hits Archive on the78prof's YouTube channel. Mom didn't love 1953 nearly as much as later years. I preferred 1951 to 1953, but I am still loving the early 50s.

For context: Billboard year-end top 30 singles of 1953;  Billboard number one singles of 1953;

I thought this time I would do a top ten list instead of trying to cover everything.
