The first season of NBC's "The Apprentice" aired in 2004 In 2006, Pluto was officially demoted to a dwarf planet In essence, the ranking of the pop charts is nothing more than just a document to history’s music and the artists that recorded and released them.Wikipedia was launched in 2001 based on the wisdom of crowdsourcing Through radio airplay, sales/downloads, video plays, etc., these songs rank on these charts in order to keep an on-going record of what is popular, by whom, and when. Through the years the Pop/Top 40 charts has remained relatively the same. The debut of the “Rock Era” is commonly known to be June 1955, when Bill Haley’s “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” hit #1 on the Billboard pop/Top 40 charts. Click the link to visit the site ( HERE) and check out each and every Top 40 chart according to Billboard Magazine. The work put into that site was too much to not interweave these two sites. Weekly Top 40 ChartsĪ link is provided to our Weekly Billboard Top 40 charts. When you scroll down the list you will see that the first entry of each week of each month begins with the highest charted single of that month and then alphabetical by artists. The Monthly EntriesĮach month of each year is titled appropriately (with month and year) and is broken up into each week. Little by little, and in due time, I will have that information corrected. NOTE: On occasion the label and catalog number was not made available to me at the time of posting the information. Should the song be re-issued as an official single, and appeared on the Billboard charts, it will be listed in its respective list with proper credit in accordance to that release. These numbers and labels do not display re-releases, re-issues or “gold standard” singles released retroactively. The “Original Record Label and Catalog Number” is official according to the original single release. In most cases, however, the total time of the song is pretty much accurate. or added the silence before or after the track. Those times may vary, depending on whether or not the record company mastered the song slower/faster. The “Time of Song” is the original common total time of the song as officially listed on its original record label. In the majority of cases, how I listed the song is the official title in accordance to the record label’s printing of the label. All abbreviations, or usage of contractions, etc., are due to how the song was originally released. The “Song Title” is accurately listed here according to how it is presented on the record label. And “Say, Say, Say” was strictly a McCartney record and Jackson guested on it. In the case of “The Girl Is Mine”, that is strictly a Michael Jackson single, and McCartney was a guest on it. In some cases, a song will be released by one artist over another (like Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney on “The Girl Is Mine”) but will vary depending on who is officially releasing that single (say like Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson on “Say, Say, Say” a year later). The name listed is as accurate to its official label showing. The “Artist” is just that, that artist for that single. Example includes Charlene’s “I’ve Never Been To Me” appears twice, once in September of 1977 and again in March of 1982, with two different peak positions for each chart entry (the first being #97 in 1977 and the other being #1 in 1982). Re-charted singles will reappear on its official re-chart release date with its current peak position. In the case of a “re-chart” single, say like Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” in 1960 and then later in 1962, the highest position of that single will count as its official peak position each time it was released. The “Peak Chart Position” is the highest position that song made it on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles charts. Sometimes the difference between official release date and chart release date can differ, usually by no more than a week or two, but can go as long as years, depending on who released the single, and why it took so long to be released. The “Release Date” is not necessarily the date of the songs official release, but it’s Billboard chart appearance release date.
