List of Billboard Middle-Road Singles number ones of 1963

In 1963, Billboard magazine published a chart ranking the top-performing songs in the United States which were considered to be "middle of the road".

[1] At the start of the year, Steve Lawrence held the number one position with "Go Away Little Girl", which stayed in the top spot through the issue of Billboard dated January 19 before it was replaced by "Walk Right In" by the Rooftop Singers.

The latter song was replaced in the top spot by the longest-running Middle-Road chart-topper of the year, "Blue Velvet" by Bobby Vinton, which spent eight consecutive weeks at number one.

Nearly half of the 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.

Although it also topped the Hot 100, it was the only song which the Singing Nun, a Belgian vocalist also billed as Soeur Sourire (Sister Smile), placed on either chart during her brief commercial career.
