100 positions ← 10/04 10/18 →

The page sets two kinds of bullet from this week. From this issue until 6/18/1983 Billboard starred its bulleted records two ways: an outline “superstar” for the products with the greatest airplay and sales gains, and a solid star for the others demonstrating significant gains. The archive shows a superstar’s ring filled in.
