The publishers were so successful in their efforts that by 1911 there were, allegedly, over 100 songs that had made the "hit parade," with sheet-music sales of over one million copies each. "Alexander's Ragtime Band," by Irving Berlin, was one of the biggest hits. "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," by Leo Friedman, with sales of over 6 million, was the biggest.
