Best Sellers By Rick is a compilation album by rock and roll and pop idol Rick Nelson that was released in February 1963 by Imperial Records. It was Nelson's first greatest hits compilation on the Imperial label. it features some of his early hits including "Be-Bop Baby", "Waitin' in School", "Believe What You Say", "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?" and others, by the time of its release Nelson had left Imperial for Decca which he signed for 20 years a few months earlier.
The compilation debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the issue dated March 4, 1963, peaking at No. 112 during a four-week stay on the chart.
Jason Ankeny of AllMusic said that "affords a wonderful opportunity to experience hits like "Waitin' in School" and "Stood Up" that have been marginalized (if not altogether disregarded) by myopic oldies radio play lists—particularly revelatory is 1958's "Believe What You Say," a chugging rocker in the mold of vintage Buddy Holly."[1]
