Electric Light Orchestra - The USA Singles
Comments and Observations
From May 1972 to April 1986, the Electric Light Orchestra released 31 standard singles on the US market. 26 of these charted on the Billboard Top 100 charts, yielding an amassed total of 341 weeks on the charts. Currently, ELO holds the record for having the most Billboard Top 40 hits of any band in US history, without ever hitting the #1 spot. Quite an accomplishment considering that all the songs, other than Roll Over Beethoven were written by bandleader Jeff Lynne. All ELO singles were only ever released in 7" format. By the time that CD singles came on the market, ELO had disbanded.All A-side songs were taken from the current-at-the-time LPs, including two issues of Showdown. The first 1973 issue of Showdown was taken from the On The Third Day LP and the second 1976 issue was taken from the Olι ELO LP. Many of the songs were uniquely edited, especially those issued before 1979. Most common of the edits were removed intros or early fades, but some had more interesting cuts including whole verses and choruses. This was done presumably to keep the songs short and interesting for radio broadcasts.
The B-side songs were mostly taken from the album tracks of the current-at-the-time album or earlier. Two singles had tracks taken from the European only The Night The Light Went On In Long Beach LP. And six singles had unique B-sides. As with the A-sides, often the B-sides were uniquely edited. This was presumably done in case the records were flipped by radio stations (which happened in the case of Daybreaker) and to shorten the longer tracks for the 7" single format. It is known that ELO recorded several non-LP songs especially for the B-sides from the On The Third Day to Face The Music albums, with titles such as Give Me Fever and Like A Rat Up A Drain, but these songs were not used and have never been released.
All singles from May 1972 to April 1975 (10538 Overture to Boy Blue) were issued on the United Artists label. Beginning with Evil Woman in October 1975, the Jet Records label was created and the first single under that label was released. From October 1975 to March 1978 (Evil Woman to Sweet Talkin' Woman), all singles were issued under the Jet Records label while still being distributed by United Artists. During this period, the infamous yellow and blue Jet Records label was first used on the Turn To Stone single. Interestingly, during the middle of the promotion for the Out Of The Blue album, Jet Records changed distributors from United Artists to CBS, which meant that the next single, Mr. Blue Sky issued in June of 1978, was the beginning of ELO's records being issued on the Jet Records label and distributed by CBS. (It also meant that all copies of the United Artists versions of Out Of The Blue had to be recalled and the record was redistributed by CBS.) All remaining singles were issued with this arrangement and featured the infamous Jet Records logo with the exception of the Xanadu songs (issued by MCA because of contract requirements) and the final two singles (issued on the CBS Associated label because Jet Records was out of business).
It's unclear if Alright from the 2001 Zoom album could be considered a single. Although a promo CD single was released (with a unique version compared to the album) and it was promoted as the single, it was never officially released to the public for sale as a single in the US market. By this time, actual physical singles were becoming less important to single promotion and many record companies were not issuing them for songs they were promoting. This is probably the case with Alright and although it could probably be considered ELO's 32nd single, it's unclear if it actually qualifies as such. In any case, it failed to crack the Billboard Top 100 at all.
The lines are further blurred about what defines a single as the concept of the downloadable single has emerged and supplanted a physical single. Surrender from the 2006 A New World Record remaster album was a downloadable single simply because it was released slightly before the album. However, once the entire remaster album was released as downloadable, there was nothing to set this "single" apart from the album's non-singles other than how it was marketed. In this context, it's not clear where or if this song really fits, so it is not included here as a single.
Editor's Note: I am attempting to change the format and display of the images below to a format similar the the UK ELO singles found on this site. Please pardon the mess during this transition.

One Summer Dream Running Time: Variable
This song is edited from the Face The Music album version, fading early.
The actual point of fade on One Summer Dream varies. There appears to be at least six different fades on this single and it's unclear why there is such wide variation.

Promos
All 31 original singles also had promotional singles released. These promotional singles (commonly known as "promos") are often referred to as white label promos because at least one side has a completely white background. These promos were designed for use by radio stations, thus many had slight variations in the edits or versions compared to the commercial single. All promos have the same song on both sides of the single, but often there are slight variations in the two versions. All promos up to Shine A Little Love with the exception of It's Over had a stereo version of the A-side on one side and a mono version of the A-side on the other. The mono side was used by AM stations because for most of the 1970s, AM radio could only broadcast in mono. Roll Over Beethoven had two promo singles, both with the same stock number. Of these two promos, the first contains the standard single version (both stereo and mono) and the other contains and even shorter version that is cut to only 3:45 (both mono and stereo). It's Over and Hold On Tight both had the regular stereo A-side on one side and a slightly edited intro of the same song (in stereo) on the other side. All promo singles from Don't Bring Me Down and later (including the MCA singles) have the same stereo song on both sides of the record with the exclusion of the aforementioned Hold On Tight promo.
In addition to the standard 7" single promos, some songs also featured some interesting 12" promo singles. In 1977, Livin' Thing was released as a blue vinyl one-sided 12" promo that was packaged in a plain white sleeve with a blue stamp of "New ELO" only. In 1980, a very rare 10" picture disc of Xanadu was released. Beginning in 1981 with Hold On Tight, most (although not all) ELO singles were also released as 12" promos.

Reissues
There were 15 single reissues for the oldies music market. The first series, issued under the Silver Spotlight label for United Artists, included five singles. The last four in this series were issued in 1978, just before the distribution deal changed from United Artists to CBS. It's uncertain if these singles had very limited pressings or were recalled, but they are very rare and difficult to obtain in the current collector market. Starting in 1980, CBS issued the second series of five more singles under the Golden Oldies label. In 1991, CBS issued the third series of five singles under the Collectibles label. Interestingly, the Collectibles singles and the Golden Oldies singles had the same songs and stock numbers with only the label and sleeve changing.

Sales Figures
The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has certified three ELO singles as gold singles, having sold at least half a million each. These singles are Telephone Line (certified on September 23, 1977), Don't Bring Me Down (certified on November 20, 1979) and I'm Alive (certified on July 15, 1980). This certification is based upon the number of singles shipped to retailers, not necessarily how many customers bought the single.
Music Charts
The primary measure of the success of a single is by the music chart rating. In turn, these ratings are based upon a combination of sales and radio airplay. The exact formula used to calculate these ratings (using sales and airplay) will vary from year to year and from chart company to chart company.
In the US, the music industry trade magazine Billboard has dominated with the most popular and widely used chart statistics. During ELO's run in the 1970s and 1980s, Billboard rivals Cash Box and Record World did experience some success and dominance in some markets. Cash Box ceased publication in the mid-1990s (and returned in the early 2000s). Record World ceased publication in 1982, thus there are no record charts for them after 1982. Today, when speaking of the Top 100 singles charts, the Billboard music charts is the chart of reference.
ELO spent a total of 341 weeks in the Billboard Top 100 charts and holds the record for having the most Top 40 hits without ever hitting the #1 spot.

Billboard Top 100 Chart Entry Date: Did not chartBelow is a chart that shows the Billboard Top 100 chart position of each song versus its week on the chart. It's obvious from the chart that Don't Bring Me Down was ELO's fastest growing and highest charting song. But what's interesting is that due to chart peak and longevity, other songs were actually bigger hits, garnering more sales and airplay. In this scenario, it appears that in reality, Telephone Line is ELO's biggest hit with Evil Woman and Hold On Tight not far behind.
Let's assign points to each chart placing, with chart position #1 = 100 points, #2 = 99 points, #3 = 98 points, etc. down to #100 = 1 point. Then accumulating these points for each song, the highest charting song, Don't Bring Me Down garners 1129 points, while Evil Woman gets 1166 points, Livin' Thing gets 1146 points, Hold On Tight gets 1265 points, and Telephone Line gets the maximum at 1553 points. Given this, it's clear that Telephone Line is ELO's biggest USA hit of all time. The chart below illustrates this point system by ranking all ELO charted songs.
1553 - Telephone Line 1265 - Hold On Tight 1166 - Evil Woman 1146 - Livin' Thing 1129 - Don't Bring Me Down 1100 - Shine A Little Love 1089 - Xanadu 1048 - Sweet Talkin' Woman 1035 - Can't Get It Out Of My Head 985 - Turn To Stone 966 - Strange Magic 965 - All Over The World 844 - Rock 'N' Roll Is King 838 - I'm Alive 771 - Calling America 619 - Do Ya 556 - Roll Over Beethoven 524 - Showdown 456 - Mr. Blue Sky 440 - Last Train To London 385 - Twilight 380 - Confusion 83 - It's Over 50 - Daybreaker It's somewhat surprising that I'm Alive doesn't rank higher, considering that it's one of only three RIAA certified gold singles. However, keep in mind that the RIAA certification is based upon record sales whereas the Billboard charts are based upon sales and airplay.
