レコード・ビジネスが最もおもしろかったともいえる、ポップ・ヒットのゴールデン・エイジ30年のコロンビア社のビッグ・ヒット。20世紀中、RIAAからのミリオン・セリング・シングル曲認証、つまり百万枚突破を果たした、Billboard HOT 100のNo.1ヒット曲のみを並べてみました。エピック等グループ内レーベルの曲も含んでいますが、配給上の関わりのみだったフィラデルフィア・インターナショナルのようなものは外してあります。ものによってはようやく近年認められたものもありますが、ボビー・ヴィントン、バーズ、ジャニス・ジョプリンを始め、’90年のマライア・キャリー等、後に認められても、20世紀中にミリオンセラーと認められなかった曲もいれてありません。
