Billboard chart information courtesy of BPI Communications Inc. and Joel Whitburn's Record Research Inc. Note: Billboard did not publish R&B Charts between November 30th 1963 and January 23rd 1965. Any R&B Chart without the asterisk are from after the chart's reinstatement.

R&B chart numbers with an asterisk (*) reflect chart positions from Cash Box magazine, a Billboard competitor at the time. Where different numbers from both trade publications are shown, the lower position from Billboard reflects the song's chart entry after it had peaked commercially.
