The Singing Nun
A number of acts who topped the Middle Road chart in 1963 never reached number one on the Hot 100, including The Cascades, Skeeter Davis, Rolf Harris, and The Village Stompers. Neither Al Martino or Andy Williams ever topped the Hot 100, but both reached number one on the Most Played by Jockeys chart, one of the multiple all-genres charts which "Billboard" published prior to the creation of the Hot 100 in 1958. The success of the Cascades was short-lived, and the group achieved the unusual feat of topping the Middle-Road chart with the only one of their songs ever to appear on the listing. This feat was also achieved by Belgian vocalist The Singing Nun, who had the final Middle-Road number one of 1963 with "Dominique". Although it also topped the Hot 100, it was the only song which The Singing Nun, also known as Soeur Sourire (Sister Smile), placed on any "Billboard" chart during her brief commercial career.
