Previous week position in parenthesis.

"Runaround Sue", at #33 in its first week on the survey, is Dion's first big hit using his new back up vocal group, the
Del Satins. They did not get credit on the label for any of their efforts behind Dion but did make a number of records
on their own such as "Teardrops Follow Me", produced by him. It was only a regional northeast hit.
