In 1962, fifteen songs topped theBillboard Middle-Road Singles, a chart ranking the top-performing songs in the United States that were considered to be "easy listening" or "middle of the road". The listing was compiled simply by extracting fromBillboard'spop music chart, theHot 100, those songs which were deemed by the magazine's staff to be of an appropriate style, and ranking them according to their positions on the Hot 100. Fifteen different songs topped the chart in 52 issues of the magazine in 1962. The chart was published under the title Easy Listening through the issue ofBillboard dated October 27, after which it was renamed Middle-Road Singles.Ray Charles(pictured) was the only artist with more than one number-one song in 1962, with two tracks from his albumModern Sounds in Country and Western Music. WhenConnie Francis reached number one with "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" in March, she became the first act to top the Easy Listening chart twice, having previously spent a single week in the top spot in 1961 with "Together".
