Brian Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini (1960)

"Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini" is a novelty song telling the story of a shy girl wearing a revealing polka dot bikini at the beach. It was written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss and first released in June 1960 by Brian Hyland, with orchestra conducted by John Dixon. The Hyland version reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, selling a million copies in the US, and was a worldwide hit. The song has been adapted into French as "Itsy bitsy petit bikini" and into German as "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Honolulu-Strand-Bikini", reaching number one on national charts in both languages. Several versions of the song have proved successful in various European countries. In 1990 a version by British pop band Bombalurina, titled "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini", reached number one on the UK Singles Chart and in Ireland.

Bob Luman - Let’s Think About Living (1960)

"Let's Think About Living" is a song written by Boudleaux Bryant, and recorded by Bob Luman in 1960.

The song is an open critique of the teenage tragedy song and gunfighter ballad genera of the time, humorously quipping that if Marty Robbins, Patti Page and the Everly Brothers actually died in the songs where they mention dying ("El Paso" and "Cathy's Clown" in the first and last respective cases) that the singer will soon be the last surviving musician in the industry. The singer suggests happier themes for songs in the future such as living, loving and dancing.

Paul Anka - My Home Town (1960)

"My Home Town" is a song written and performed by Paul Anka. The song was arranged by Sid Feller. It reached #8 on the U.S. pop chart in 1960. The single's B-side, "Something Happened", reached #41 on the U.S. pop chart. The song ranked #77 on Billboard magazine's Top 100 singles of 1960.

Mark Dinning - Teen Angel (1960)

"Teen Angel" is a teenage tragedy song written by Jean Dinning (1924–2011) and her husband, Red Surrey, and performed by both Jean's brother, Mark Dinning, and Alex Murray in 1959. "Teen Angel" was released in October 1959. The song was not an instant success, with radio stations in the U.S. banning the song, considering it too sad. Despite the reluctance of radio stations, the song continued to climb the charts. In the last week of 1959, the single jumped from #100 to #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It went on to reach #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (February 1960)

Dion & The Belmonts - Where Or When (1960)

"Where or When" is a show tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms. It was first performed by Ray Heatherton and Mitzi Green. That same year, Hal Kemp recorded a popular version. It also appeared in the film version of Babes in Arms two years later.

Dion and the Belmonts released a successful cover of the song, which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1960. In 1963, The Lettermen released their version as a single, which peaked at number 98 on the Hot 100.

"Lonely Blue Boy" (originally entitled "Danny" and sung by Elvis Presley) is a song written by Ben Weisman and Fred Wise and performed by Conway Twitty. It reached #6 on the U.S. pop chart and #27 on the U.S. R&B chart in 1960. It was featured on his 1960 album Lonely Blue Boy.

The song ranked #38 on Billboard magazine's Top 100 singles of 1960.
