Elvis Presley secured the record for most top 10 hits in 1957 with seven hit singles. Paul Anka was one of a number of artists with two top-ten entries, including the number-one single "Diana". Bing Crosby, Malcolm Vaughan, Petula Clark, Tab Hunter and Winifred Atwell were among the other artists who had multiple top 10 entries in 1957.
The positions of all songs are based on week-end sale totals, from Sunday to Saturday, [4] but pre-1987 the charts were released on a Tuesday because of the need for manual calculation.
