 Official The Drifters site 

  Songs on this page were all released as singles, most on Atlantic Records and usually with two songs, one on each side. For songs that had two popular sides, both sides are listed separately. Songs are in chronological order of peak popularity (or alphabetical order on the alpha page). Often, a B-side of a single would receive initial notice after the main side, but would peak earlier. For example, Sweets For My Sweet came out in September. B-side Loneliness Or Happiness became hot in August. The B-side peaked and faded even while the main hit song was still rising, so it is listed first.
