HOT 100SINGLES

100 positions ← 08/04 08/18 →

The chart file lacks 2 records this week, put back here from Billboard’s chart history: “Willie And The Hand Jive” (The Johnny Otis Show) at 10; “Young And Warm And Wonderful” (Tony Bennett) at 82. The file’s own ranks stand, because the next week’s LAST WEEK column bears them out, so a record put back goes into the rank the file leaves empty.

Bullets and Hot Shot Debuts before 1980 are inferred from the chart's movement, not read off the page: a bullet for a record that is new, back, up on last week, or at last week's rank for the second week running; the Hot Shot Debut is the week's highest new entry. The first Hot 100, 8/4/1958, has none.
