16 seems to be the magic number.
Burnette---You're 16
CB---Sweet Little 16
Sedaka---Happy Birthday Sweet 16
The Crests---16 Candles
Naming perhaps the 4 most famous.
Teen-age girls have had Sweet 16 parties forever, but for a boy, 16 is
just another number.
The only significant teen birthdays for boys are 13 if you're Jewish and
18 when we became draft eligible.
Were there a specific age that boys were commemorated in song? "Happy
Happy Birthday Baby" by the Tune Weavers comes to mind but it does not
specify a particular age.

(She Was) Only 16---Sam Cooke
16 Reasons---Connie Stevens, but I don't think it was necessarily about
a 16 year old boy.
17---Boyd Bennett and his Rockets

True enough Doug, but that was for every teen-ager, male and female.
