  Hit parade
The term originated in the late 1930s and has also been used for broadcast programs featuring hit tunes, such as Your Hit Parade[?], which was broadcast on radio and television in the United States for many years.
It is said that Your Hit Parade was nearly cancelled after many weeks of unsuccessful attempts by big band singer Snooky Lanson[?] to perform Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog".
The term is still used, as in the title of the popular magazine, Hit Parader[?].

 Your Hit Parade
Your Hit Parade was a weekly network television program that aired from 1950 to 1959.
The television Hit Parade attempted to dramatize each song with innovative skits, elaborate sets, and a large entourage of performers.
Further, much of the popularity of the faster paced rock hits was dependent on complex instrumental arrangements and the unique styling of a particular artist or group.

 Hit parade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hit parade is a list of tunes - songs and instrumentals - that are most popular at any given time.
Hit tunes were originally published in sheet music format, so many artists were encouraged to introduce or promote the tune in their different styles, formats or areas of popularity.
In later years, such rerecording of a tune originally introduced or popularised by a certain artist or artists was called covering a song, and often rejected by fans of the particular artists because it produced unfair competition to their favourite version.

Keller is a hit man. Like all careers, it has its challenges, some imposed by circumstance, others generated by introspection.
HIT PARADE is episodic in nature, essentially a bunch of short stories.
The Keller books (Hit Man, Hit List, Hit Parade) are nastier but no less funny in their way: Keller kills people for money (admittedly not an obvious set-up for jocularity) and is clearly beginning to come unmoored from reality a bit in this volume.

 Your Hit Parade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Your Hit Parade was a popular American radio and television program, sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes and broadcast from 1935 to 1955 on radio and telecast from 1950 to 1959.
Listeners were informed that "Your Hit Parade survey checks the best sellers on sheet music and phonograph records, the songs most heard on the air and most played on the automatic coin machines, an accurate, authentic tabulation of America's taste in popular music." However, the exact procedure of this "authentic tabulation" remained a secret.
When Your Hit Parade began on NBC April 20, 1935, it was a 60-minute show with 15 songs played in a random format.
