2 WKS AGO agrees with LAST WEEK on this page. The page prints no 2 WKS AGO column (none did until 10/13/1984), so the archive takes the figure from the LAST WEEK column of the week before, 1/2/1982. That week was the frozen repeat of 12/26/1981 in Billboard’s year-end double issue, so both columns name the 12/26 chart.
