Kyu Sakamoto hit #1 in 1963 with "Ue o Muite Arukō", titled "Sukiyaki" in the U.S., becoming the first and only Japanese song to do so.

These are the Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits of 1963.

That year, all but two acts (The Four Seasons and Bobby Vinton) achieved their first number-one singles, with a total of 19, which were Steve Lawrence, The Rooftop Singers, Paul & Paula, Ruby & the Romantics, The Chiffons, Little Peggy March, Jimmy Soul, Lesley Gore, Kyu Sakamoto, The Essex, Jan & Dean, The Tymes, Stevie Wonder (as ‘Little Stevie Wonder’), The Angels, Jimmy Gilmer & the Fireballs, Nino Tempo, April Stevens, Dale & Grace, and The Singing Nun. These artists only went to the top with these songs once (excluding Wonder, who would later go on to have ten songs hit number one).
