As you may have noticed, the amount of data in this part of the site literally cries for an index. To make such an index is not an easy task here, that's why I'd like to spend a few words about it, making it more understandable to you why it is, in parts, difficult.
First of all, there are many ways on how to create and sort data. But not all kind of indices can be created in a secured and proven manner. Many entries do not provide all necessary data to realize a reliable one.

The easiest kind of index is one with each released single, sorted alphabetically by the artists. This is helpful for you to find the right entries if you recently bought or found a single and would like to check it with the list included here.

Another one of you would maybe like to have an index based on release dates. And here it starts to get tricky. Many exact releasing dates weren't known, and many items were released in different countries at a different time. This kind of index only works if you nail the releasing dates on the country of origin, i.e. a single from The Hollywood Persuaders, and all items of the other countries, were indexed to the year 1963. - However, I tried to compile an index chronologically sorted, even with reissues having their own place, which can be found here. The ones without a specific month of release first, then carefully inserted the more specific ones. At the end of the index, at last, the items without any known date or year.

And then, my friends, - last, but not least - an index sorted by song titles.
