Because nobody demanded it, I thought I'd list off all of the number one songs that I own (and all the ones I don't, that way I can update as necessary ). I'll post one year at a time, so as to not make the longest. post. ever. Songs I own will be in bold, songs I don't, won't. I'm only counting songs I own on CD. My ultimate goal is have a series of discs with every number one in order, and as much as I love listening to my vinyl, it's not so hot for recording purposes. I've started with the 7/27/40 Best Selling Retail Records chart as that was the first chart BillBoard published that A) Ranked the songs by number, and B) Listed only one artist for each track (Prior to this date, BillBoard listed all versions of a hit tune as one). Between 1940 and 1958 BillBoard published a Best Sellers chart (1940-1958), a Juke Box chart (1944-1957), a Disk Jockey chart (1945-1958) and a Top 100 chart (1955-1958). I'm counting the number ones from all of these charts so you'll notice that a lot of the weeks in those years don't add up neatly to 52 per year. On 8/4/58 BillBoard debuted the Hot 100 Singles chart which combined data from all of the other charts into one all-encompassing chart. The others were phased out by the end of 1958, so beginning in 1959, I'm only counting the number ones from the Hot 100. One last note, on 12/5/98 BillBoard altered the Hot 100 to include airplay only songs along with the commercially available singles.
I'm gonna keep this thread locked so it'll just be the year-to-year chart-toppers. Feel free to post questions and comments over in the "Discuss 'THE NUMBER ONE THREAD" thread, okay?
And away we go...!
