HOT 100SINGLES

100 positions ← 01/01 01/15 →

Queen’s “Somebody To Love” is missing from the chart file, and from Billboard’s chart history, for 13 of its 15 weeks; the file leaves its rank empty, and the archive puts it there, at 17 this week, its LAST WEEK and weeks on chart following its run. 2 WKS AGO agrees with LAST WEEK this week. The chart file has no 2 WKS AGO figure, so the archive takes it from the LAST WEEK column of the week before, 1/1/1977. That week was the frozen repeat of 12/25/1976 in Billboard’s year-end double issue, so both columns name the 12/25 chart.

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.
