I think its better(and more accurately) presented as "Atlantic's biggest
hit single of the '50's was "Mack The Knife" by Bobby Darin on the
subsidiary Atco label"

I don't see that as "more accurate." They are both just as accurate. One
just adds extra non pertinent information. The actual label on the 45
does not in any way change the crux of the statement.
If we said:
Chess's highest charting single on Billboard's Pop Singles chart in the
50s was "Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry.
OR
Chess's highest charting single on Billboard's Pop Singles chart in the
50s was "Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry, which was on the Chess
label rather than on one of the company's subsidiary labels like Checker
or Argo.
Both statements are equally accurate. The second statement just adds
some more non pertinent information.
