year, and used
Whitburn's year end method to assign the year. I used their Billboard sourced data with these formulas every year to make accurate charts. Everything has a citation, as you can see from my earlier charts from the 1930s and 1940s. This is a massive project for me with no assistance, but everything gets done eventually. It is huge improvement over what it replaced. We could have a technical argument that I created original content, but that's barely true, and should be overlooked, since straightening out the time period for each list of course changed the order. The formula I used came from Billboard, and I adhered to it like a robot. When we say "1965 in music", we mean it.

rated came from
Billboard's Hot 100 and other sub-charts. The issues are online, but are pdfs that don't hyperlink properly. Google also has many of the issues online. Fortunately, I had hard copies to collect the data I needed. I re-arranged and organized the Billboard data to correct the errors I described in the year-end lists. That is the only change I made, and it was with their existing data.
213:
I did research other websites that had year end lists to see what they did. Some had improvements, but all fell short of correcting or documenting what I envisioned to be done. I went back to my
Billboard collection and tracked down each year end page 1960-1980s, copying all text and formulas. It was

Maybe you can help me figure out to format the references, it is complicated. I have pdfs of every issue of
Billboard for the years I did. But for each song, I only used the issues it made the Hot 100. I have every single date, but this would take months without some shortcutting. Every single record
217:
There were also several years that
Billboard printed a second list. It seemed they changed the inclusive time frame every year. They also changed their scoring system almost as often. Why reprint that (Knowledge (XXG) already has) again? I used the year end formulas to arrive at one to be used every

Check 1950-1963, I haven't gotten to those yet. The information was copied from tsort.com approximately 15 years ago. They all violate our rules. The charts I replaced them with 1964-1969 are all based on

Whitburn books with the data summarized, but why use an incomplete second hand source. That is how I think, I hope we are on the same page. I will soon post an image of the pages I work off, and you will have the total picture.

Thanks. "Billboard" should be italicised, as the name of a magazine. The information should be fully referenced (as on the 1965 article). And no external links in the article itself. I hope this makes sense.
