P.S.: Revista do Radio's Hit Parade section was usually 2 weeks behind schedule. So on the 15 March 1958 issue, the magazine printed Carnaval week's hits that happened on 16, 17 &  18 February 1958.  

As the offices of Revista do Radio were located in Rio de Janeiro, the Hit Parade editor tended to overlook Sao Paulo's charts either due to Post Office delays in delievering mail or other difficulties in communication. Whenever the office had any doubts about the Sao Paulo's charts they simply repeated Last Week's chart or fabricated a new list on the spot. We have tried to correct these shortcomings by discarding identical  or out-of-date listing like this week's Sao Paulo's charts.
