[edit] Singles

These are Tony Bennett singles that are known to have charted on (various eras and predecessors of) the Billboard Hot 100. All of these are on Columbia Records. For a few singles the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart positions are shown as well.

Bennett released more singles than just these; see The Good Life appendix which has a full list but no chart information. The Essential Tony Bennett only has chart information for songs contained on it. The Whitburn book only has Top 40 hits from 1955 on. All Music Guide has Top 100 hits from 1955 on but the ordering within years is suspect.
