Events

There were many talented writers, producers and performers in the music industry during 1933, but record sales were very low, although higher than 1932, and work was hard to find. Most of the records released came from Radio Corporation of America (Victor) and American Record Corporation (ARC), through its premium (Brunswick label, and its discounted "dime store" labels (Perfect, Vocalion, Oriole, Banner, Melotone, Romeo, and Conqueror), with a trickle from Columbia (that would completely disappear by mid-1934). Four of the top five records paired one of the label's top vocalists (Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby and Al Bowly) with a headline band (Reisman (Victor), Lombardo (Brunswick)) and Ray Noble (Decca UK). Victor also featured Howard Arlen, composer of "Stormy Weather" as vocalist with house band Reisman. This tactic was extremely successful in stimulating sales in the depressed economic conditions.

The top popular records of 1933 listed below were compiled from Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890–1954,[2] record sales reported on the "Discography of American Historical Recordings" website, and other sources as specified. Numerical rankings are approximate, there were no Billboard charts in 1933, the numbers are only used for a frame of reference.
