The following article lists the monthly number-one songs on the Mexican Selecciones Musicales chart from January 1950 to December 1960. The source for these charts is the book Musicosas: manual del comentarista de radio y televisión by Roberto Ayala, who was the director of the Selecciones Musicales magazine. These charts were based on nationwide record sales, jukebox plays, radio and television airplay, and sheet music sales.
As published in the Musicosas book, the charts only include the song titles and the names of the composers; the performers credited in this article are included for reference and where many performers are listed for the same song, they appear in alphabetical order, which may not reflect whose version was the most popular.
The longest-running number-one song of the decade was "Usted", written by Gabriel Ruiz and José Antonio Zorrilla and recorded by Los Tres Diamantes, which spent six consecutive months at the number-one position from May to October 1951.
