During his career as a singer and composer, Pat Boone released 63 singles, mostly during the 1950s and early 1960s when Boone was a successful pop singer and, for a time, the second-biggest charting artist behind Elvis Presley. Boone has had over 25 singles reach the top 20 on the U.S. singles charts, including the number-one hits “Ain’t That A Shame” (1955), “I Almost Lost My Mind” (1956), “Don’t Forbid Me” (1957), “Love Letters In The Sand” (1957), “April Love” (1957), and “Moody River” (1961). He set a Billboard record, which he still holds, for spending 220 consecutive weeks on the charts with one or more songs each week.
