List of number-one hits of 1963 (Peru)

The Peruvian popular music scene in 1963, like much of Latin America at the time, was heavily influenced by international trends, particularly from the United States and Europe. However, limited documentation exists specifically cataloging number-one hits in Peru during this period. Official music charts, as formally and rigorously tracked in later decades by organizations like Billboard (USA) or official national chart companies, were not consistently published or widely disseminated in Peru in 1963.

Information regarding the most popular songs of 1963 in Peru is largely gathered through anecdotal evidence, radio airplay records (often incomplete or not fully preserved), sales figures from record stores (which are also difficult to compile retrospectively), and the recollections of music historians and cultural commentators. It is therefore challenging to definitively declare a complete and authoritative list of "number-one" hits in the same manner as contemporary chart tracking.

The music most likely to have achieved widespread popularity included a mix of genres. "Rock and roll" and "twist" inspired music were very popular. Ballads and boleros, often of Latin American origin, also enjoyed significant airplay and sales. Singers and musicians from Argentina, Mexico, and other Latin American countries had a substantial impact on the Peruvian music market. International artists like The Beatles (whose popularity was rapidly growing globally) and Elvis Presley were undoubtedly played, though determining if they achieved the specific designation of "number-one" in a verifiable chart is problematic.

Due to the limitations described, a complete and definitive list of number-one hits for Peru in 1963 is currently unavailable. Further research into Peruvian music archives and historical records would be necessary to potentially uncover more concrete data.
