That'll Be the Day
Peggy Sue
Oh, Boy!!
That'll be the Day and Peggy Sue
It is a shame that Buddy Holly died so young, because he undoubtedly would have become even more famous than he did. His main achievement was having a number of hit songs in the early years of rock & roll, as a member of the rockabilly group Buddy Holly & the Crickets, and as a solo artist. His two biggest were probably "That'll Be the Day" (with the Crickets) and "Peggy Sue" (as a solo artist). To this day, his hit songs from the 1950s are still performed by contemporary rock and country performers.
If you are asking about a 1957 Buddy Holly top ten hit, three songs come to mind: "That'll Be the Day" topped number 1 in both the US and the UK, "Peggy Sue" charted at number 3 in the US and number 6 in the UK, and "Oh, Boy" charted number 10 in the US and number 3 in the UK
Buddy Knox sang "Party Doll" in 1957 and was his biggest hit.
Well, much to my surprise, Buddy Holly (with or without the Crickets) only had one No. 1 Hit. "It Doesn't Matter Any More" in February 1959. It appears that his posthumous releases were more popular.
He had 12 hits in the top 100, beginning with That'll be the Day in August, 1957 and ending with Raining in my Heart in March 1959.
It was a 1957 hit for the Crickets, featuring Buddy Holly.
