| NOTE: On the original published chart, Cash Box appended five additional positions to its Top 10 Country Best Sellers chart, but included only the titles of those additional records. Artists/labels listed above in positions 11 through 15 are based on a record’s previous or subsequent appearance in the Top 10 or its appearance on the concurrent Billboard Country charts. |
