Weekly national charts, as the trade papers printed them

FOR WEEK ENDING JANUARY 1, 1983
HOT 100SINGLES
100 positions ← 12/25/82 01/08 →

Billboard printed no chart dated January 1, 1983. Its year-end double issue covers the weeks of 12/25/1982 and 1/1/1983 and carries one Hot 100 for both, so this week is the 12/25 chart standing a second week — every rank, bullet and label as printed there, with LAST WEEK, 2 WKS AGO and WKS ON CHART moved on by one. Billboard’s own chart history counts the frozen week the same way: the 1/8/1983 issue’s LAST WEEK column points at it, and weeks on chart and weeks at No. 1 both include it.
