HOT 100SINGLES

100 positions ← 10/13 10/27 →

The Hot 100 takes its later form this week. Until 10/13/1984 Billboard set the chart in three columns, with THIS WEEK, LAST WEEK and WKS ON CHART only, artists in upper and lower case, and a NEW ENTRY box that covered a debut’s weeks on chart. From this issue it prints the two-column page with a 2 WKS AGO column. Every week of the archive is shown in that later form: for the weeks before this one, 2 WKS AGO is the LAST WEEK figure the record carried on the previous week’s page, and a debut counts 1 week. On this page Billboard left 2 WKS AGO blank for the records that were new the week before, and several of its weeks-on-chart figures do not follow on from the three-column page. The archive fills in the blank figures and corrects the weeks on chart.
