“Hello, Dolly!” by Louis Armstrong debuted on the Billboard singles chart at #76, for the week ending, February 15, 1964. The Armstrong single would make its eventual climb to the top — for one week only — having knocked off the Beatles’ five-week hold on the #1 spot with their hit, “Can’t Buy Me Love”, beginning May 3 through week-ending May 9.

An astounding 22 weeks on the pop singles chart, “Hello, Dolly!” dropped to #44 on its last week on Billboard, week-ending July 11, 1964.
