The UK charts didn't exist until November 1952. In the USA, though, it was 'Ghost Riders In The Sky' by Vaughn Monroe & His Orchestra.

I don't think there's an easy answer. The first UK singles charts were in November 1952 in NME magazine.

Good site eh special416?

Yes, here is the US chart for the full year 1949, with Ghost riders in the Sky at number 1

UK charts in 1949 were based on sheet music sales

Nellie Melba!

Actually it was Des O'Connor!!

Nellie died in 1931.
Did her record company keep releasing her back catalogue until 1949?
