Talk:Auf Wiederseh'n, Sweetheart

Not First US No.1 by a foreign artist
This page claims that Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart was the first song recorded by a foreign artist to make number one on the U.S. Billboard charts. However, there had been earlier No.1s by artists not born in the United States: Dick Haymes (born in Argentina of British parents) was No.1 for four weeks in 1943 with You'll Never Know, Anton Karas (born in Austria) whose version of The Third Man Theme was No.1 for eleven weeks in 1950 and Canadian-born Guy Lombardo who had three No.1s including another version of The Third Man Theme in 1950. Although Dick Haymes and Guy Lombardo recorded in the US, the Anton Karas hit was made outside the US so Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart cannot claim to be the first non-American recording to reach No.1 in Billboard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Top40hits (talk • contribs) 14:31, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Piano Roll
Auf Wiedersehn translates as good-bye. Possibly related to one of the numbers from The Blue Paradise back in 1915 as there exists a piano roll of the same name.--Lmstearn (talk) 13:16, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
