HOT 100SINGLES

100 positions ← 08/11 08/25 →

The chart file lacks 3 records this week, put back here from Billboard’s chart history: “Just A Dream” (Jimmy Clanton And His Rockets) at 6; “Lazy Summer Night” (The Four Preps) at 72; “Gas Money” (Jan & Arnie) 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.
