Top Popular Recordings 1930Edit

The top popular records of 1930 listed below were compiled from Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890–1954,<ref name=PopMemories>Template:Cite book</ref> record sales reported on the "Discography of American Historical Recordings" website, and other sources as specified. Numerical rankings are approximate, there were no Billboard charts in 1930, the numbers are only used for a frame of reference.
