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 15 this week, its LAST WEEK and weeks on chart following its run.

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.
